Jun will be starring the NHK drama named [Hajimari no uta], story inspiration from the song [Furusato] in which Arashi sang in Kouhaku 2011 and 2012. As the song was so touching, it was used as the annual NHK primary school choir song. The drama was planned to commemorate the competition's 8oth anniversary.


The story is about a photographer who went back to his hometown and met his former crush (acted by Nana Eikura) who is a primary school teacher. His childhood dream, of becoming a teacher was reignited when he saw her determination in leading her students to compete in the  National school choir competition.

There will be scenes where Jun will be playig the piano while the choir is singing. He is currently under training to play the piano.

Other artistes include Naho Toda, Jun Kunimura.

It is scheduled to be broadcasted on September 23rd,  at 7.30pm (Japan time)
