Tsunku Drama Visuals Recreate Sharam Q CD Jackets
The recreation of the 8cm single-era Sharam Q jackets is the drama's visual centerpiece, matching a level of accuracy that Tsunku♂ himself said made him do a double take.
Reporting from 1 source: Cinema Today.
New visuals for the Nippon TV drama "Shiawase wa Aru" show Mitsuomi Takahashi as Tsunku♂ fully recreating five Sharam Q CD jackets, including "Single Bed" and "Zurui Onna," down to facial expressions and poses. The drama airs August 29 and stars Keiko Kitagawa as Tsunku's wife Kanako.
Mitsuomi Takahashi is such a Sharam Q fan that he joined the brass band club in junior high school to play saxophone on "Zurui Onna." That devotion shows in the new stills, which reproduce five jackets from the 8cm single era: "Jo・Kyo・Mo・No・Ga・Ta・Ri," "Single Bed," "Zurui Onna," "Iiwake," and a 2013 reissue of "Single Bed."
The drama also brings in Juri Tanaka of SixTONES as an engineer colleague, Shinichi Takeda as Tsunku's physician, and Morning Musume '26 recreated as Morning Musume '14 for a New York performance scene. Keiko Kitagawa plays Kanako, and the script is by Keiichi Okada.
