It has been revealed that Tamura Mayu of the idol group Nogizaka46 will be appearing in the drama series "Futari Escape" (TV Osaka, Saturday midnight 12:55am), which began airing late on October 4th. She will appear in the first episode as a radio show DJ, providing only her voice. After the first episode was aired, Tamura's appearance was revealed.
The drama is a live-action adaptation of the manga of the same name by Koichi Taguchi (Ichijinsha), starring the group's Renka Iwamoto and Nao Tomiri. The "escapist comedy" follows the story of an unemployed, professional manga artist who is trying to escape reality, and a junior manga artist who is busy writing manuscripts every day. Iwamoto and Tomiri, who are actually senior and junior in the group, play the roles of the senior and junior.
Tamura is a voice actress who is the favorite of her junior (Tomiri), and she played the role of Ijuin Akari, a DJ on a radio program that both the junior and senior (Iwamoto) often listen to.
Regarding her appearance this time, she commented, "Since I'm only appearing as a voice actor, I tried to be more conscious than usual of conveying the emotions I express through words during the recording. I'm happy to be able to appear in such a heartwarming production that makes you chuckle."
