Mitsuki Tanimura(谷村美月) to star in her first drama series “Taburakashi ~Daikou Joyuugyou Maki~(たぶらかし ～代行女優業・マキ～)”

Actress Mitsuki Tanimura(谷村美月) (21) has been given the lead role in a new drama series called “Taburakashi ~Daikou Joyuugyou Maki~(たぶらかし　～代行女優業・マキ～).” This will be Tanimura’s first time starring in a drama series on commercial broadcast television.

The drama will air in NTV’s “Thursday Mystery Theater” time slot (11:58pm-12:38am). The story is based on “Taburakashi,” a novel by Yasuda Io(安田依央) that won the 23rd Shosetsu Subaru New Writers Award(小説すばる新人賞). Tanimura plays Maki, a young woman who came to Tokyo with dreams of becoming an actress. However, the theatrical troupe she belonged to disbanded, and she has meanwhile become burdened with 6 million yen worth of debt. She begins working as a stand-in actress, playing everything from a corpse to a ghost to a newlywed.

The show even includes a sexier and more adult look for Tanimura. Yamamoto Koji(山本耕史)and Danta Yasunori(段田安則)have also been cast. Takahashi Yu(高橋優)will sing the show’s theme song, “Sepia.” “Taburakashi” begins airing on April 5th.
