It has been decided that TSURUBO SHION will star in Kantele "Blue Birthday", which will start broadcasting in February 2023.

This work is a remake of the Japanese version of the Korean drama "BLUE BIRTHDAY", which was distributed as a web drama in South Korea in 2021 and became very popular mainly among the younger generation.

A quiet but gentle honor student who spent a peaceful school life with her childhood friend Hanasuzu and her friends in the photography club, but she suddenly attempts suicide on Hanasuzu's 17th birthday and leaves this world. .

This will be the first time for TSURUBO SHION to star in a terrestrial drama.

[Synopsis]

On her 17th birthday, OZAKI Ozaki (TSURUBO Matsui) suddenly lost her childhood friend and first love Jun Aoma (Shion SHION). It has passed 10 years ever since. On her 27th birthday, Hanasin happens to find Jun's leftover film camera and the photos he took. The feelings for Jun, who he couldn't forget even though he wanted to, and the sadness of losing Jun exploded again, burning the photos incessantly. Then, I was time-jumped to that day 10 years ago when the photo was taken. As Hanasuzu travels back and forth between the past and the present, trying to stop Jun's suicide by any means necessary, the truth behind Jun's death becomes clear. Will they be able to change their destinies...?

Jun Aoma: Comment from TSURUBO SHION

I'm JO1's TSURUBO SHION, and I'll be playing Jun in the drama "Blue Birthday".

This drama begins with a shocking development, but I would be happy if you could pay attention to how the two will protect each other.

This is my first time starring in a terrestrial serial drama, so I am filming with the help of everyone on set.

I always speak quickly and chew a lot, so I want to prepare well and do my best! Please look forward to the broadcast!
