EXILE's AKIRA to reprise his role as Great Teacher Onizuka

It was revealed on the 17th that EXILE's AKIRA will be returning to play the lead in the new GTO drama which will begin in July, Tuesdays at 10 pm.

GTO is a popular manga by Tooru Fujisawa which is about how ex-yankee-turned-teacher Eikichi Onizuka solves the troubles and problems of his students and conducts classes in a very unorthodox manner. It was first adapted into live action in 1998 with Takashi Sorimachi as Onizuka. AKIRA was cast for the remake in 2012, and special dramas also followed afterwards. The drama that will start in July will be set in Shonan, as Eikichi Onizuka will be returning to his mother school.

This news was announced in Vol. 17 of Shuukan Young Magazine. It was also announced that Fujisawa's new manga series GTO Paradise Lost will begin on April 14, in Vol. 20.

About making the masterpiece AKIRA into live action...

After several attempts to bring the project to life, it looked as if the planned live action Hollywood remake of AKIRA was dead last year, when the plug was pulled after the budget proved to be rather high. At the time, director Jaume Collet-Serra was attached to direct the movie (off the back of his success with the Liam Neeson-headlined Unknown), and Garrett Hedlund had been earmarked to star. Rumor has it though that Warner is currently in negotiations with Collet-Sera to revive the project.

Should Yukie Nakama and Yuka reconsider their career paths as their dramas are branded as flops?

Sad results this autumn as these popular actresses seem to be taking the ratings down with them.

The stories aren't that bad, but two dramas which are not showing any signs of recovery are Yukie Nakama's Honey Trap (Fuji TV) and Yuka's Hakuba no Oujisama (NTV).

Honey Trap's lead is EXILE's AKIRA, but no matter how you look at it, Yukie Nakama seems like she's the main actress as she plays a mysterious woman in the drama. 6%-7% isn't shocking for a drama shown at 11 pm, but with the 'industrial spy' theme, Nakama's presence, and messy character relations, people can't seem to get emotionally attached to the drama. The ratings might still drop from here.

Hakuba no~ starts at 11:59 pm so no one will say it's a flop even if it only gets 4%-5%. Even the previous season's Machiisha Jumbo!! didn't reach an average of 5%. This drama though, started off with 5.6%, and went as low as 2.6%. The drama is about a teacher's love story, and Yuka's partner is a younger Takahiro Miura. They even had a teaser where they didn't reveal the actress until episode 1, but it did not lead to results.

People may see Yukie Nakama and Yuka as "expired goods", but there are still cases like Koyuki in Legal High and Yuki Uchida in Dr. X who still shine brightly as they now play supporting roles.

Nakama will be playing a supporting role in the next morning drama, but it might be about time for her to reconsider her own standing.

AKIRA: "I first came across SS (adidas Originals Sneaker "SS") when I was 16. Up to that point, I didn't have any dreams nor hopes... I couldn't even imagine my future back then. Then I saw my senpai wearing an SS and thought it was so cool. And once I started wearing them, everything just changed for me."
