It has been announced that SATO KEIGO will be appearing in Fuji TV's Monday 9pm drama "366 Days" (every Monday from 9pm), which will begin airing on Monday, April 8th.

This work is an original love story inspired by the worldview of HY's famous song "366 Days", in which a man and a woman try again to make their unfulfilled love come true in high school, while facing an unexpected tragedy. , an epic love story about how you keep thinking about your loved one.

SATO will play the role of Kenji Samejima, a high school classmate of the main characters Asuka Yukihira (Alice Hirose) and Haruto Mizuno (Atsushi Maeda Go Atsushi). ). During his high school days, Samejima was always bright and energetic and was the mood maker in his class. He is also good friends with Asuka and Haruto, and there are scenes where he teases Asuka and Haruto by treating them as a couple because they are always together.

Samejima is currently active as a member of the theater troupe, and steadily carries out promotional activities, such as handing out flyers for performances to Asuka and others who met at class reunions.

[Comment from SATO KEIGO]

-Please tell us how you felt when you received the offer to work on this film.

``I was happy when I heard that I would be the first JO1 member to appear in a nine-month drama!At the same time, I also felt pressured...!Since I was selected, I wanted to give a performance that would definitely leave a lasting impression.''

・When you read the script, do you have any impressions of your role or anything you try to keep in mind when acting?

``I think Samejima is a narcissist who can't read the atmosphere very well (lol).To be honest, I feel like he's a little similar to me in that way, so it was easy to keep that in mind when acting.'' (laughs)! I tried to act in a way that people around me would think is annoying.”

・Please give a message to the viewers.

``Samejima is a fun and goofy character, and I think he's a character that makes you smile when you watch him...! I took on the challenge of acting to the fullest! I hope you'll pay attention to my acting as well. Please take a look! !”
