Yamada Yuu as poor struggling woman in new dorama �gGakeppuchi no Eri�h
Another new summer dorama got announced today and it will feature actress Yamada Yuu (25) in her first dorama starring role. The new dorama is called "Gakeppuchi no Eri ~Konoyo de Ichiban Daijina 'Kane' no Hanashi" and will be like a half-biography of "Bokunchi" mangaka Saibara Rieko (45).
It will be a fresh and new sight to see Yamada overthrowing her cool and wealthy image to play "a woman at a critical moment of her life (gakeppuchi)", suffering from poverty and sorrows. "It's an intense role with a very poor heroine who has to climb over various of obstacles. This will be my first starring role and of course I will give it my all! I can even contribute some ideas myself and enjoy playing that role," Yamada said full of enthusiasm. She also came up with the gakeppuchi woman image that you can see in the promo picture.
Saibara became famous for mangas such as "Bokunchi" and "Mainichi Kasan". Many of her mangas eventually got turned into movies such as "Permanent Nobara" that opened this weekend and "Ikechan to Boku" not too long ago. However, it was a long and difficult way until she became a best-selling mangaka. In 2008 she released an autobiography-like essay called "Konoyo de Ichiban Daijina 'Kane' no Hanashi" (A story about "Money", the most important thing in this world) that described her life prior to her mangaka career. The story is about a girl called Eriko (Yamada) who gets born into a poor family. There are a lot of sorrows due to her debt-ridden parents, but fortunately she has the guts and the wisdom to climb over all those obstacles and fights her way through life until she becomes a successful mangaka. "I wrote this book for my daughter and every girl who plans to get married in the future. A girl's happiness isn't marriage or having a family, the most important thing is independence. I hope a lot of girls will watch this dorama," Saibara commented on the project.
The fashionable Yamada will have to change her image completely in order to play Eriko. From working as hostess to earn money for college to checking through garbage in order to find colors to use for her passion. "At first glimpse she might not look like the best choice for a poor and unhappy heroine. However, Yamada is a powerful woman with an amazing gaze and a very strong aura hidden inside of her. I'm convinced that there is nobody better for that role!!" The producer commented on Yamada as the starring actress.
Also appearing will be Tsukaji Muga, Koizumi Kotaro, Tanaka Yoji, Osugi Ren, Jinnai Takanori and Watanabe Eri.
She is currently in a relationship with actor Oguri Shun (27) and maybe she even already received some advices from his first dorama starring role 2 years ago. He played a poor character just like her now, so he probably should have some nice tips for her. Anyway, TV Asahi will start this dorama in July and air it every Friday at 9pm.
