On Thursday, Morning Musume leader Ai Takahashi (24) attended a press conference for a new drama that she will star in. As this was her first time in front of the press since announcing her decision to graduate from Morning Musume, she also spoke about her plans for the future.
Takahashi’s drama is part of a project called “Koi Choco,” a collaboration between BS-TBS and candy company Morinaga Seika’s Carre de Chocolat brand. The project will make use of an “augmented reality” application available on Android phones. When users take a photo of a package of the chocolate, a video clip from the drama will play.
The chocolate comes in four different flavors, and each of the four packages will be linked to a different video. There are two stories, titled “Bittersweet Angel” and “Amadan.”
In “Bittersweet Angel,” Takahashi will play Ayana, a cafe worker who is clumsy in love, while Dori Sakurada (19) will co-star as a young man named Anju who appears before her, calling himself an angel. The same story will be told from each of their perspectives, with “Ayana no Baai” lasting about 13 minutes in length and “Anju no Baai” lasting about 14 minutes in length.
The two parts of “Bittersweet Angel” will also be broadcast by BS-TBS on Valentine’s Day (February 14) at 7:30pm. The drama and a making-of will be included on a DVD to be released on March 30.
“Bittersweet Angel” already became available on Thursday through the Android augmented reality application, along with the two parts of “Amadan,” titled “Melodrama-hen” and “Seibugeki-hen.” Details about “Amadan” have not been reported.
