It has been revealed that Yui Sakurai from the idol group "FRUITS ZIPPER" will be making a guest appearance in the 7th episode of the drama series "Ameku M.D.: Doctor Detective" (TV Asahi, Tuesdays 9pm) which will be broadcast on June 3rd. This will be Sakurai's first time appearing in a prime-time drama series. She will play a character who holds the key to solving the case.
In this story, the protagonist Takao's (Kanna Hashimoto) mentor, Mikogami Hio (Kaku Chikako), the director of Mikogami Memorial Hospital, suddenly dies mysteriously. Hio had told Takao that he might be killed by a "certain person" before he died, and entrusted him with solving the mystery. Takao begins his own investigation with the help of Hio's niece Ayuna (Uchida Rio), but the mystery that he is given, which could be considered his mentor's final challenge, proves to be difficult to solve.
Sakurai will play the role of a woman who works at a restaurant that Takao and Takanashi (played by Shohei Miura) visit. She will provide an important hint that will be the breakthrough to solving the most difficult mystery in history, which even the genius Takao is desperately puzzling over.
Regarding his appearance in this production, Sakurai expressed his delight, saying, "I still have little acting experience, and this is only my second time appearing in a drama since the drama project "Azato Serial Drama" within "What’s Wrong with Being Wily?", so I was surprised to be given the opportunity to appear in such a wonderful production. I'm very honored! Thank you very much!"
Regarding the filming, she recalled, "During breaks, Kanna Hashimoto and Shohei Miura talked to me a lot, so I was able to start filming in a very warm mood!" She also appealed, "I don't have much experience in dramas or acting, so I was very nervous, but I did my best! I hope everyone will watch it!"
