Ryusei Fukada Stars in First Solo Lead Drama Co-Starring Hiki Ukisho

Ryusei Fukada (ACEes) takes his first solo lead role in a TV drama series, co-starring fellow ACEes member Hiki Ukisho, in "Natsuiro no Kumo ga Koi to Arashi wo Makiokosu," a youth home drama romantic comedy premiering on TV Asahi on July 11. The theme song is ACEes' new track "Mayonaka no ZOO."

Ryusei Fukada (ACEes) will play Natsuki Takemiya, a third-year high school student dumped by his girlfriend and failing his mock exams, whose sister's boyfriend Sota Kobayakawa (Hiki Ukisho) becomes his tutor. The script, written by Yuko Matsuda ("Hanasaku Mai ga Damattenai"), leans into the tension of a protagonist who must not fall in love but finds his tutor dazzling. The theme song "Mayonaka no ZOO" was written by singer-songwriter Hyu Izaki, and a teaser preview will air during "Terminator to Koishichattara" on May 30. The series airs Saturdays at 23:00 in the Oshidora Saturday slot, with episodes distributed on TELASA after broadcast.
