[Photo] Main visual featuring Chihara Junia, Shunsuke Daito, and Yuki Morinaga This work is based on the manga "Minami no Teiou" (original work by Dai Tennoji, Manga by Rikiya Go) serialized in "Weekly Manga Goraku". The 21st work of the TV series that I made. The appearance of people who are at the mercy of desire and money, centered on the combination of Ginjiro Manda, a moneylender of Osaka Minami who is feared to be a "demon of Minami", who plays a junior, and Ryuichi Sakagami, a younger brother of Ginjiro who plays Shunsuke Daito. Draw thrillingly. This time, Ginjiro approaches a big scandal related to the great evil hidden in Reiwa Japan, triggered by a mysterious message left by a secretary of parliament who died suddenly while borrowing money from Ginjiro. Also, this time, a mysterious young man, Kosei, who plays Yuki Morinaga, joins the familiar duo of Ginjiro and Ryuichi as a disciple of Ryuichi. Kosei, who is so simple and kind that it doesn't look like a harsh moneylender world, becomes the key man in the story. Regarding the fact that the theme and settings of the work have changed according to the movement of society since the start of broadcasting in 2010, Junior said, "The themes and" badness "that we handle are evolving with the times, and we will repay with tablets. I can't think of it in the "King of Minami" that we were watching, but I think it will continue because the underlying human core hasn't changed. " Also, regarding the fact that it will be broadcast in the golden zone this time following last year's broadcast, "Drama with this content ... In the first place, it is hard to see a drama that the main character is violating the law. It is called in the golden zone. By the way, he said, "I feel the depth of the Kansai's bosom, or the strength of the soil." I will. " Also, regarding this drama, which has become a long-term series for 12 years, Daito also said, "In a good sense, the content is independent of the original, dealing with the material related to the times, and cutting the society centered on the moneylender named Ginjiro Manda. I think we have established a way of being. As we grow older and society happens every year, I think we should continue as a work that deals with it well. " Regarding Kose, "Why don't you make a subordinate role of Ryuichi?" Was an idea that Jr. came up with when talking to everyone at the scene last year. In this way, the cast and staff exchanged opinions. I'm just grateful for the environment in which I can make works every year. " In addition, "I myself really like the shabekuri that is unique to Kansai, so the" new Minami ", a conversational drama with a lot of energy, is a very important place for acting," he said with a passion for the work. Regarding the work, he appealed to the viewers, "Because I will do it, I would like to make a work with a proper meaning, so I hope you enjoy it." Morinaga, who played the role of Kosei, commented on his participation in this work set in his hometown of Osaka, saying, "I thought it was a great honor to be included in a work with a very long history, and it was set in my hometown of Osaka. "I'm really happy to be able to participate in this story," he said happily. "I think it's really difficult to guess people from the outside. I haven't said anything about it, but there are various circumstances. I would be very happy if you could feel the worries, sufferings, and thoughts of confronting each situation, "he said. [Chihara Junia's comment] ● Thoughts on this 21st TV series There aren't many dramas in which the series continues, and I'm not so happy to be able to play the same role for 12 years. .. The themes and "badness" that we deal with are evolving with the times, and it is unthinkable in the "Minami no Teiou" that we were watching, such as checking repayments on a tablet. However, I think that it will continue because the underlying human core has not changed. ● About the contents of this work This time, I feel that I have dealt with current affairs in particular. I think it's a condensed story of the big events in the world over the last few years. It was interesting because it was a setting that everyone could think of, "Oh, that's it. This is it." I think that people who are looking at it can enjoy "what happened a while ago" while passing through their heads. ● Message to viewers Drama with this content ... It's hard to see a drama in which the main character violates the law in the first place. I feel the depth of Kansai's bosom, or the "strength of the soil," in the place called the golden zone. It's a very thick and thick story that seems to be a condensed version of Reiwa, so I hope you enjoy it. [Comment by Shunsuke Daito] ● Thoughts on this 21st TV series I'm really grateful that I haven't been able to make such a constant appearance every year! This Kose is an idea that Jr. came up with when talking to everyone at the scene last year, "Why don't you make a subordinate role of Ryuichi?" In this way, the cast and staff exchanged opinions, and I am only grateful for the environment in which I can make works every year. Besides, I personally like the shabekuri that is unique to Kansai, so the "New Minami", a conversational drama with a lot of energy, is a very important place to play. In a good sense, the content is also independent of the original, dealing with the material related to the times, and I think that we have established a new way of cutting society centered on the moneylender named Ginjiro Manda. As we grow older and society happens every year, I think we should continue as a work that deals with it. ● About co-starring with Chihara Junia and Yuki Morinaga Co-starring with Junior is fun every year. In the play, I feel that I have a complete relationship, and since Jr. is a person who has a sensor standing in the bing about information and laughter, I also feel that I can tighten up by meeting and talking once a year. I've co-starred with Morinaga several times, but I'm the one who's really spoiled because he's a pure and good guy like Kose himself, and he has a lot of trust in the play. But this time, I was a little disappointed because Kose took the position of blur and went to Tsukkomi (laughs). ● Message to viewers Recently, past works can be seen in the distribution, so there are more opportunities for people to say "I saw" New Minami "" not only in Kansai but all over Japan. I hope that this work will be integrated into everyone over the years, so I'm really grateful to be able to deliver the series again in this way. Since I will do it, I would like to make a work with a proper meaning, so I hope you enjoy it. [Comment by Yuki Morinaga] ● Regarding participation in "The King of Minami Returns" I thought it was a great honor to be included in a work that has a very long history, and I am delighted that my hometown, Osaka, can participate in the story of the stage. I really feel it. I felt that Kosei, who plays this time, is a pure person who wants to support and protect even while reading the script, so I wanted to play while cherishing that. ● Looking back on the co-starring with Chihara Junia and Shunsuke Daito, I was with Jr. for the first time, and I really felt the “silent pressure” of Ginjiro Manda. I felt the things that had been piled up during the long series, and I felt a good sense of tension when shooting. Even so, I think that all the characters that look like Kosei look the same from the same perspective, so I did it without being too scared. I've been with Mr. Daito several times, but I think we were able to interact with each other with a very comfortable rhythm because of the Kansai dialect. ● Message to viewers As with Kosei itself, I think it's really difficult to guess people from the outside. Everyone hasn't said it, but there are various circumstances, and I'd be very happy if you could feel that you are worried, suffering, or thinking of confronting each situation. I hope you will pay attention to it.
