Kaho Joins Yui Aoi in TBS Drama 'Until the T-Shirt Dries'

Kaho will appear in the July-season TBS Friday drama 'Until the T-Shirt Dries,' starring Yui Aoi. The script is by Miku Ubukata, who wrote 'silent,' and Kaho previously worked with Ubukata on that series. Kaho plays Azusa, a 34-year-old housewife whose life collapses after an accident with another couple.

Kaho has been cast in the July-season TBS Friday drama 'Until the T-Shirt Dries,' joining previously announced stars Yui Aoi, Ayumu Nakajima, and Fumiya Takahashi. The series, written by Miku Ubukata ('silent'), follows two couples whose lives are upended by a shared accident. Kaho plays Azusa, a 34-year-old housewife and part-time used bookstore worker whose happy family life collapses after the incident. The role marks her return to TBS since last October's 'Well, Then You Make It.' Kaho previously worked with Ubukata on 'silent,' where she performed entirely in sign language as a deaf woman. She said she is thinking about how to make Ubukata's words her own with a different approach this time. The drama airs Fridays at 10 p.m. starting in July.
