I was busy celebrating Nino's birthday yesterday so I was kinda lazy to translate the news when I saw it last evening m_ _m. I went around to do some research as a makeup for the lateness ^^ V



Ohno Satoshi (32) will be in the SP drama for this year's NTV "24Hours Love saves the Earth" campaign. Airing on August 24 and 25, the drama is called 今日の日はさようなら [Today's is the day for goodbye].

Based on the original novel by Kazuya Miyuki 幸和也, with the title 大空への旅立ち　がんと闘いながらも夢見ていた未来
[A trip towards the sky: battling cancer with hope of still seeing a future full of dreams].

The scriptwriter is 桥部敦子, who wrote the drama of [Freeter, ie o kau] and [Boku no ikiru michi]. The production team will be those that took part in [Yokai ningen bem] and [Hara-chan, don't cry!].

Ohno's role will be 耕太 who is 29 year old man who lives in the countryside, a University dropout and had changed many jobs. Just when he finally decides to live his life well as a chef, he was suddenly diagnosed with "malignant lymphoma cancer" (a type of blood cancer). The story will describe how he faces life and prepares for death.

Ohno is looking forward to the role. He expressed that "耕太 is a very ordinary teenager who faces many emotions after he is diagnosed with cancer and left with little time to live. The theme of the drama is "Live well, die well". I hope I will be able to face this problem and give my best in acting out 耕太's perseverance".

Ohno is the 3rd Arashi member to land a role in NTV's 24Hr TV SP drama, after Jun and Nino.
