Rin Takanashi (Samurai Sentai Shinkenger, NEO Ultra Q) will be starring in a new drama series entitled “Houkago Groove”. She will play as a former yankee, which now physical education teacher with no dancing skills.
Takanashi commented about her first starring role, “When I heard about the story, I immediately wanted to get this role. A sports-minded former delinquent is a fresh character and a nice challenge. I’m already all excited about this.”
Takanashi is known for her good looks and her vibrant on screen performances. She already gained global recognition as the heroine in Abbas Kiarostami’s Japanese-language film “Like Someone in Love” which screened at the 2012 Cannes Film Festival.
The new drama will be directed by Ken Iizuka (Arakawa Under the Bridge). Looking forward on working with director Iizuka, Takanashi commented, “I’ll work hard so that the viewers can enjoy all those surreal interactions between the characters.”
“Houkago Groove” was born from the fact that since April 2012, “dance” has become a part of the junior high school curriculum in Japan. It will premiere on April 22nd, at TBS.
