"Gokusen 3" confirmed for spring

Tokyograph News · 12-12-2007, 08:16 PM

Rumors of a third season of the "Gokusen" drama series were confirmed on Wednesday. Yukie Nakama will reprise her role as the teacher Kumiko Yamaguchi (affectionately known as "Yankumi").

Based on a manga by Kozueko Morimoto, "Gokusen" has already had two previous seasons. The first, in 2002, averaged ratings of 17.4%, while the 2005 sequel averaged ratings of 28.0%.

The third series will premiere in April on NTV, though the specific time slot has not yet been announced. Casting for the students will be decided around the end of this year.

Whoa, this is a shocker! Hopefully, the writers will come up with something more original. And include Sawada Shin!

Yeah, I love Yankumi and all, but I really hope they do something new with the show. It'll still be great for everyone who just wants to see a bunch of hot guys - I'm just not one of them.

Nakama Yukie-sama!!
I am so glad Yukie-sama is back as Yankumi!
And Namase Katsuhisa, too!

...now if only those two could work on a potential Trick 4 series..........

i can't wait for gokusen 3 to come out!!! ^^
but this time i hope there is gonna be a twist
like........... maybe a class full of guys that has one girl, so all the guys can have atleast some females around other then teachers. they all seem so desperate in the previous seasons lol
i reckon the girl should be really gangsta too ^^
like everyone underestimate her aswell ^^
i would love to watch that!!!

Hmm... I kind of want Gokusen to keep the tradition of taking place in an all-boys school.

I am hoping that Ueda Tatsuya will get a main role in Gokusen 3, since everyone in KAT-TUN already did some drama work, 'cept for him. He deserves some drama screen time too. But a drama like Gokusen would be perfect for Koki, since he looks and acts like a gangster member. Lets see... that's two people I am hoping to see...

Quote:

Here's my dream cast list:
Ueda Tatsuya
Tanaka Koki
Nakamaru Yuuichi
Koyama Keiichiro
Kamakari Kenta (<-- I heard rumors of him recovering from his illness)
Shirota Yuu
Nakagauchi Masataka
Shiozaki Airu (He did a decent job as a delinquent in Renai Shindan)
Ikuta Toma (since he is busy with Honey and Clover, it's pretty much impossible)
Endo Yuuya
Araki Hirofumi
Kotani Yoshikazu
Yanagi Kotarou (He seems to be busy with another drama, hope he could finish it before the cast of Gokusen 3)
Aiba Hiroki (same with him)
Igarashi Shunji
Wada Masato
Yanagishita Tomo
Takagi Shinpei
Takagi Manpei (it would be so cool if Gokusen 3 has a pair of twins in the class)
Nakagawa Shingo
Yamamoto Yusuke (c'mon! Kamen Rider Kabuto and Gatack both got a part in Gokusen 2)
Sato Takeru (awe-some actor!!)
Nishigima Takahiro
Atae Shinjiro
Kato Keisuke (it seems he is busy with Kamen Rider Kiva)
Fujiwara Tatsuya

*It would be great to see Sawada Shin again! Or maybe even Hayato or Ryu! [I highly doubt Ryu, though, since Kame's busy with 1 Pound Gospel]

If there has be some girls:
Toda Erika (seen her on Gal Circle, she did a decent job as a bad girl)
Horikita Maki
Suzuki Emi (though a little too nice for a bad girl on Gal Circle... but she has potential from what I saw on Yukan Club)
Aragaki Yui (awesome, awesome job on Gal Circle)
Ichikawa Yui
Shiratori Yoriko (she could play the violent type girl! Her punches and kicks are awesome on Kamen Rider Den-O!)
Inoue Mao (I loved her in First Kiss when she put up a bad girl image!)
Haga Yuria (she did a wonderful job as a bad girl on Sh15uya)

As for teachers:
Abe Hiroshi (great teacher on Dragon Zakura)
Fujiki Naohito
Fukuyama Masaharu
Amano Hironari
Kanno Miho
Shibasaki Kou
Tamaki Hiroshi (I doubt it, though, since he is in Paris filming the Nodame SP)
Shimatani Hitomi (She didn't get much screen time the Prince of Tennis movie, but I see great potential in her.)
