Character visuals for the Fuji TV Wednesday 10pm drama "If This World Were a Stage, Where Would the Dressing Room Be?" (Wednesdays at 10pm, first episode extended by 30 minutes), starring actor Masaki Suda, which will start airing on October 1st, have been released.
Suda plays Mitsunari Kube, the director of a theater company, who is a man of passion who dreams of success. His eyes, which convey his strong conviction, are fixed on the future.
The dancer Koda Rika, played by Nikaido Fumi, is a seductive woman with an artistic aura. The photo captures her having a smoke in her dressing room with a cigarette in hand.
The visual of the TV writer, Horai Shogo, played by Ryunosuke Kamiki, captures the moment he leaves his old apartment in Shibuya. He is wearing a jacket and tie, and his hair and appearance are neatly groomed, giving him the freshness of a newcomer.
Minami Hamabe plays the shrine maiden Egashira Juri, who is seen waiting for someone in a corner of Shibuya with a sign for Hachibun Shrine leaning against it.
The drama is a youth drama set in Shibuya in 1984, and is an original story with semi-autobiographical elements by Koki Mitani. During the transition period from a period of stable economic growth to the bubble economy, a corner of Shibuya was filled with the struggles, setbacks, and sometimes romance of young people who were still unknown.
Some pursue glory, some are heartbroken, some are troublesome, some just want to get out of town... They're all a bit quirky, clumsy, and unskillful at life. From the outside, they may seem like a motley crew, but in reality, they're earnest and hardworking. This film is full of laughter and tears as it depicts the energetic lives of these "human" people in 1984.
