Synopsis
Actress (singer, gravure idol) Kuninaka Ryoko (25) reprises her role as Kohagura/Uemura Eri (or 'Erii') from the hit NHK morning drama serial Churasan. The current 5-episode "Churasan 3" is being shown during NHK's Monday Drama Series time slot with the first episode of that series garnering a viewership of 14.4% — a record.
The Churasan series is considered Kuninaka's 'life work' and she has been quoted as saying that she wants to keep the feeling she had when filming first began for the series which aired in Japan from April 2001.
All of this would not have been possible without the large fan base of Churasan who voted the series number one for NHK's "My request for the program I want to see one more time" (my translation) this year. Also, the supporting cast of Churasan (who also continue to take part in the continuing series) create a very warm atmosphere which adds to the real star of the show and perhaps the least mentioned, its location and theme: Okinawa. This may also be the reason that Churasan has been compared to another successful (and long-running) drama, Kita no kuni kara himitsu '98 Jidai which besides having as strong a cast as Churasan, featured Hokkaido as its backdrop.
