On October 4, the drama adaptation of the Toyota Yu manga “Papa to Oyaji no Uchi Gohan” will premiere on TV Asahi. The drama stars Sou Matsuhima of timelesz and Jin Shirasu. This is Sou’s first lead role in a drama. Sou and Jin previously co-starred in the 2023 TV Asahi drama “Kaettekita zo yo! Kotaro wa Hitorigurashi.”
In “Papa to Oyaji no Uchi Gohan”, Sou and Jin will play newly single fathers who move in together, along with each of their children, and take on the obstacles of single fatherhood together.
Of his new role, Sou said that he was really happy about the opportunity to play the lead role, but had thoughts that it might be too early in his career for such a role. He decided to take on the role though, saying that he has “been feeling a strong desire and passion for my work as an actor.”
Jin jumped at the opportunity of working with Sou again, saying, “I hope that we can bring out the best in each other, liven up the production, and create a good chemistry.”
