Kono Aji mo Mata Itsuka Koishiku Naru

The two-part NHK BS drama adaptation of Moegara's essay has a trailer and confirmed broadcast dates: Part 1 on November 14 and Part 2 on November 21, both at 9:00 PM. BE:FIRST's LEO appears in the second part, listed on the official website as a "silver-haired man."

Synthesized from 2 Yomimono stories · updated 2h ago

The live-action adaptation of Moegara's essay "Kono Aji mo Mata Itsuka Koishiku Naru" is set for a two-part broadcast on NHK BS. Part 1 airs November 14 at 9:00 PM and Part 2 on November 21 at 9:00 PM. The drama stars Issei Takahashi. A key visual was out by the time the broadcast dates were set in September.

The cast picture changed between the two announcements. In September, LEO of BE:FIRST was confirmed for the second part in an unannounced role. By the November 6 trailer, that role had a name on the official website: LEO is listed as a "silver-haired man," and he appears in the trailer wearing a bandana. The trailer release is the most recent development, and it fixes the billed description of LEO's part.

What is settled is the schedule and the shape of the production: two nights, both at 9:00 PM on NHK BS, with Takahashi leading and LEO in the second part. The role itself is small but named, and the website listing is the source for the description. Nothing in the coverage gives a total episode count beyond the two parts, and no further cast details have been established.
