Actor Alice Hirose attended the production press conference for the drama series "The Reluctant Preacher" (Nippon TV, Saturday 9pm), which will begin airing on April 12th. Hirose, who plays the main character, a Japanese language teacher named Urumi Shizuka, appeared in her costume. In addition to coordinating a jacket and chinos, her straight hair with blunt bangs gave her a completely different look.
The drama is a school entertainment with the theme of "preaching" and is written by Okura, who has also worked on "Nursing Aide At Your Side" and "Yips". The story is about a Japanese teacher who reluctantly became a high school teacher and tries to avoid trouble and not get too involved, but before he knows it, he gets caught up in the affairs of his problematic students and finds himself in a situation where he has to preach to them, even though he doesn't want to.
Snow Man's Shota Watanabe, Okazaki Sae, Noro Kayo, Kote Shinya, Ito Atsushi, and Kimura Yoshino also attended the production announcement press conference.
