It has been announced that entertainer Yanagisawa Shingo will be appearing in Fuji TV's " Getsuku" drama "Second to Last Love 3 " (Mondays 9pm), co-starring Kyoko Koizumi and Kiichi Nakai . Yanagisawa has had a close relationship with Nakai both in private and public ever since the 1983 TBS drama "Fuzouryou no Ringotachi", and this will be their first time acting together in a drama in about 20 years since the 2005 TV Asahi special "Owari ni Mita Machi".
Yanagisawa plays a salaryman who is a coworker of Wahei (Nakai). In the fifth episode, which will be broadcast on May 12, he appears when Wahei is chatting with his coworkers at lunchtime and asks questions with a big smile about the growth of Wahei's daughter Erina (Ayana Shiramoto) and his work on marine litter art.
Yanagisawa commented, "I am happy to have been able to take part in the ' Second to Last Love' series because of everyone's love. It's been 20 years since I acted with Kiichi Nakai, since Yamada Taichi's drama!! Although it was only a little while, I was really happy to have been able to share the time acting with him in ' Second to Last Love 3.' Everyone, turn on the TV at 9 p.m., and when the drama is over, take a nice, relaxing bath while remembering the series, have a drink and have good dreams! Farewell!!"
Episode 5 will also feature Kosaka Miyuki, who plays Watanabe Mika, Yoshino Chiaki (Koizumi)'s "job-hopping senior," and it has also been announced that Masuwaka Tsubasa, who was a regular in the first and second seasons, will be making a comeback as the "beautiful scriptwriter" Kuriyama Haruka.
"Second to Last Love 3" is the third season of the drama, which is set in Kamakura, Kanagawa Prefecture, and depicts the love story between a TV producer played by Koizumi and a city employee played by Nakai. Following the first season in 2012 and the second season in 2014, the script is written by Yoshikazu Okada, and the story takes place 11 years after the second season.
