On April 11th, Kanjani8 member Nishikido Ryo and his fellow cast members Mizukawa Asami, Yamazaki Ryutaro, and Kuge Kokoro attended a press conference for their upcoming drama, “Inu wo Kau Iu Koto ~Sky to Wagaya no 180 Hi~”.
During the drama, Nishikido plays a father who decides to add a new addition to the family: an adorable Pomeranian puppy that they name “Sky Tree”. The tiny dog helps to bring the fragile family together through both laughter and tears.
At the press conference, a stray dog was also brought in to help promote awareness for all the animals that were left behind or lost during the Tohoku earthquake on March 11th. The dog had been separated from its original owners, who are most likely staying in one of the many shelters set up for disaster victims. “The dogs were just as scared as the humans,” Nishikido revealed. “I pray that we can return him to his family as soon as possible.”
All activities came to an abrupt halt on the first day of filming due to the earthquake, which has left a huge impression on the Kanjani8 member. “I won’t be able to forget the shaking at the first day of filming for my first lead role in a drama,” he said, looking away. “Because of this, I feel that (I should) do as much as I’m able to do, and try my hardest while filming (for the drama). This is such a terrible time, but if a drama can be that one healing hour, then…”, he trailed off, looking positive.
“Inu wo Kau Iu Koto” will air its first episode on April 15th at 11:00 PM JST.
