First Episode of "REBOUND(リバウンド)" Reaching 14.3 Percent Viewership

On April 27th, the first episode of the new TV series "REBOUND(リバウンド)", starring Saki Aibu(相武紗季) (25) as the main character aired and immediately and reached a viewers rate of 14.3%.

The attractive cast of the drama is certainly part of this success, as next to Aibu, young stars like Hayami Mokomichi (速水もこみち) (26) and Chiaki Kuriyama (栗山千明) (26) are also playing important parts in the series.

The story centers on Ooba Nobuko played by Aibu, who has a weakness for cakes and sweets and while she had managed to lose weight after a broken relationship and started working for a fashion magazine, she might still not be cured. Especially when she meets the handsome patissier Imai Taichi played by Mokomichi ...

A great amount of make-up and computer graphics transform Aibu Saki into her 80kilo self, changing her looks completely. The make-up company for this project is the same as the one, which had been working on the making of "JIN".

And while the series is not yet as successful, the heartwarming love-comedy is certain to win the viewers' hearts.
