Early last month, it was announced that Kansai Johnny's Jr. member Yuma Nakayama (15) is starring in a new drama series on Fuji TV. Details about the story have now been revealed.

The drama is titled "Koishite Akuma ~ Vampire Boy." Nakayama stars as a young vampire named Ruka who has entered the human world. Although he hates humans, he begins attending high school and falls for his homeroom teacher, played by Rosa Kato (23). Masahiko Kondo (44) has been cast as another vampire, who serves as Ruka's "chaperone." Another Kansai Johnny's Jr. member, Shintaro Morimoto (11), will also appear in the series. Johnny's Jr. member Shintaro Morimoto (11) will also appear in the series.

Nakayama will also be singing the theme song as part of a new Johnny's group, called "Yuma Nakayama with B.I.Shadow." The five members have an average age of 14.4 years old, surpassing Hey! Say! JUMP as the youngest Johnny's group at the time of their major label debut.

B.I.Shadow is a Johnny's Jr. unit that formed last year. Their members are Kento Nakajima (15), Fuma Kikuchi (14), Hokuto Matsumura (13), and Yugo Kochi (15). Together with Nakayama, they will release the single "Akuma na Koi" on July 15.

The "Koishite Akuma" drama series will air on Tuesdays at 10:00pm, beginning on July 7.

Yeah, they're debuting. "Akuma na Koi" is the theme song of the drama and will be their first single.

The news articles are calling it a debut. I don't personally know how long the unit will be around, but they're making a big deal about this being the youngest Johnny's group to get a major label release, and the first group to include the full name of a member (Nakayama Yuma).

I also apparently skipped over a line in the article that says they have concerts planned for this summer and for the New Year's period at the start of 2010.

Oh, and B.I.Shadow's Nakajima is also in the drama.

They are definitely debuting. One newspaper even had a table with all the debuted groups since 1964's "Johnnys" and they appear as the newest debuted group.

So this is not comparable to Matchy and Question's single, but a real debut like HSJ two years ago.
