The drama series "My Little Senior at My Company" (BS Shochiku Tokyu) starring Tomi from the idol group "#2i2" will be broadcast every Wednesday at 11pm starting from January 15th. This is Tomi's first time starring in a drama.
The drama is a live-action adaptation of the manga of the same name by Saisou (Takeshobo), which was also made into a popular TV anime. It is an office love comedy about Shiori Katase (played by Tomi), who has never had a boyfriend, and her subordinate Takuma Shinozaki (played by Tsubasa Takizawa), who has never had a girlfriend.
Tomori confessed how she felt before the broadcast, "I can't stop feeling excited that my first starring drama is finally going to be broadcast! I don't think that starring in a drama is a dream that everyone can make come true, so I still can't believe that such a miracle has happened thanks to everyone's support."
"One after the other, events that are completely unexpected occur (laughs). To be honest, when I read the script, I was surprised to come across a slightly erotic scene. But with the wonderful personalities of the characters and the director's humorous direction, before I knew it, the production had been created in a way that even I, the actor, was laughing at! I hope everyone will enjoy the drama's unique atmosphere and developments," she said.
"＃2i2," the group Tomi belongs to, will be performing the drama's theme song, "HATSUKOI JUICE." "When I saw the name of our song in the credits, I was really moved! "HATSUKOI JUICE" is a cute song themed on first love, which is rare for #2i2. It's definitely a song that we're very attached to, so I hope you'll listen to it a lot! And what's more, the artwork is a new drawing by Saisou-sensei! He drew the #2i2 members in the worldview of the original work...! Please take a look and pay attention to the details!"
