Southern All Stars members cast in drama based on their music

[Tokyograph News]

Last month, NTV announced a drama project called "The Naminori Restaurant," comprised of a series of 33 short dramas based on songs by Southern All Stars. It has now been revealed that the group's percussionist Hideyuki Nozawa and bassist Kazuyuki Sekiguchi will be appearing in the dramas.

The whole series stars Yo Oizumi as the owner of an unopened restaurant, and the 10-minute episodes depict various people visiting the restaurant. Nozawa plays a formerly famous man who abandoned his home to live on his own. Meanwhile, Sekiguchi's role has apparently not yet been decided.

Others appearing in the drama include Yoshinori Okada, Miho Shiraishi, Riisa Naka, Yuta Hiraoka, Hiroshi Fuse, and Mari Hoshino. The first episode airs during the November 1 episode of "Zoom In!! Saturday," while the rest of the episodes will air at random times up until November 9.
