TV Tokyo is starting a major drama project titled "Keitai Sousakan 7." Takashi Miike is serving as the series director, while other big names such as Mamoru Oshii and Shusuke Kaneko will be directing some of the show's 51 episodes.
19-year-old actor Masataka Kubota stars as a high schooler who teams up with a mobile phone robot to fight against an internet-based crime organization. The supporting cast includes Yuko Ito, Kanji Tsuda, Natsuki Okamoto, Satoshi Matsuda, and Nao Nagasawa. The drama's opening theme is being sung by Hitomi Shimatani, who may also participate as a cast member. The series starts on April 2 in TV Tokyo's Wednesday 7:00pm time slot. Later that month, SoftBank will launch a promotional tie-in with a mobile phone modeled after the robot from the show. Link to article |

Quite a few of the sites don't seem to mention this, but the band singing the ending theme is called BACK-ON. They were also present at the news conference.
