It was revealed on the 7th that Kazuya Ohashi (27) of the popular group Naniwa Danshi and singer, talent, and actor Satoshi Yamatoki (19) will appear in the TV Asahi program “Minna no Ou R” (Tuesdays 9:00 p.m.), which starts in October.

This is a renewed version of “Minna no Ouji,” which was broadcast in 2015 and starred Kenichi Endo (63) and Masaki Suda (31). The previous version was a hot topic for its story of a sitting prime minister and his foolish son swapping bodies. In this latest version starring Endo, the main character, Taizan Muto, has become prime minister again, and every episode he switches bodies with someone else.

Ohashi, who is also active as an actor, was thrilled to play the role of Taizan’s student, saying, “Yesssss!” He said that the production team told him that the innocent and ignorant role was “just like him,” and expressed his joy, saying, “I’m happy to have been given a role that suits me so well.”

Ano, who has many different roles as a singer, model, and TV personality, has been chosen to play Taizan’s first public secretary. She is looking forward to the filming of the role, which she says will involve “practicing my pronunciation and tongue twisters so that I can take on the role of a talented woman with a sharp tongue.”

Yamatoki, who has been attracting attention for his role in popular dramas such as “The Best Teacher: One Year Later, I Was Killed by My Student” on Nippon Television in July last year, plays a detective in the Metropolitan Police Department’s Public Security Bureau, a character who is mentally weak and easily cries. “I’m 19 years old, so I want to look mature,” he said.
