Last month it was announced that the classic boxing manga "Ashita no Joe" would get a live-action film starring Yamashita Tomohisa (24), but according to Shukan Shincho and several rumors on Japanese boards there might even be a dorama adaption airing on TBS this summer.
The tabloid claims that there are plans to have a dorama version before the actual movie and that it is going to start airing in July. Further we are supposed to look forward to actress Kitagawa Keiko (23) playing his love interest. A doubtful and intriguing choice, considering that they've just acted together in "Buzzer Beat" and that they are rumored to be a real life couple as well.
Shukan Shincho also was able to get in contact with his grandmother to talk about how his family actually has some relations to boxing and his rumored girlfriend Kitagawa. Let's only concentrate on the romance rumor. "Some time ago, Tomohisa, his father and her went for a meal together. Still, they are just friends. All those tabloids are only jumping to conclusions. He's only 24 years young, his agency wouldn't allow it anyway. She's at the height of her popularity and will probably stay an unmarried woman for the time being as well. No, they are not dating." A clear statement from his grandmother, but the rumors won't stop that easily.
Dating or not, there seems to be another dorama with Yamashita and Kitagawa to look forward to. Do you like that couple?

yamapi and kitagawa to be starred together by all means will boost the drama popularity but its probably better to see new or fresh pairs in dramas. nevertheless, both of them are good actors so I hope the drama plot will be interesting as well because I don't really like buzzer beat but that's just my opinion.
Good year for Yamapi. I really like him as an actor and Kitagawa as well…but not together ¬¬. Just kidding, they're a great couple on stage.
lol, I don't mind seeing them as a couple again. Not a fan of Yamapi, but I'll gladly watch whatever Kitagawa Keiko is in. I'd like her before, but after watching Hostess with a Pen, I'm impressed.
yes. i would love to c keiko in a drama. she is so rare in dramas!
another lame acting again with the presence of Yamapi…i don't like both but still goodluck for them esp for the drama.
Highly doubtful, like you said. That being said, I'd love to see Keiko in another dorama.
I totally agree with what you have explained. In reality, I browsed throughout your additional blogposts and I’m sure you happen to be certainly correct. Congrats with this online site.
