It has recently been revealed that actor and artist Non will be providing a voice role in "After the Earthquake," which will be broadcast on NHK's Saturday drama slot (Saturdays at 10 p.m.) from April 5. Non will play the role of Frog in episode 4, "Continuation of Frog, Save Tokyo."

"After the Earthquake" is a drama series based on a short story written by Murakami Haruki after the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake in 1995. The setting is not only set in 1995, but also in 2025, depicting the 30 years of "after the earthquake" that continue into the "present". The script was written by Oe Takayoshi, who also wrote the film "Drive My Car", which was based on another Murakami novel. The show will be directed by Go Inoue , who has worked on the NHK Asadora drama "Amachan" in the first half of 2013.

"#4 'The Frog Continues, Saves Tokyo'" will star Koichi Sato. 30 years ago, Frog-kun (Non-san) appeared in front of Katagiri (Sato-san) in the form of a giant frog. Once, Worm-kun was angry and tried to cause an earthquake, but Frog-kun relied on Katagiri and saved Tokyo from destruction. And now, Frog-kun appears again before Katagiri... Ryo Nishikido will also appear as a mysterious man.

Non revealed, "I was in Hyogo Prefecture on the day the Great Hanshin-Awaji Earthquake occurred, but I was only one year old at the time and have no memories of it. However, I felt a sense of mission that this film was made in Japan, a country where various disasters occur, and that I was able to participate in director Inoue's work as a voice actor."

"'Frog 2' is a film that respects Murakami Haruki's original work and is set in the year 2025. It was a special experience, as I felt as if I was acting with Koichi Sato through the screen. It's a work that is somewhat conceptual, posing questions and themes to the depths of the consciousness. I hope that many people will be able to feel different things from it," he said.

In "After the Earthquake," the following shows will be broadcast: "No. 1: A UFO Lands in Kushiro," "No. 2: A Scene with an Iron," and "No. 3: All God's Children Can Dance." It has also been announced that Tsutsumi Shinichi will appear in "No. 2," and Igawa Haruka will appear in "No. 3."
