This will be Tamaki’s third taiga drama, his other taiga dramas were “Koumyou ga Tsuji” (2006), “Atsuhime” (2008).
Tamaki is most notably known for his comical portrayal of a genius conductor in the manga-based drama series, “Nodame Cantabile.” Tamaki is a young actor with an extensive list of roles and he can currently be seen in Fuji TV’s drama, “Guilty” and the last movie he was in was “MW.” NHK officials have high hopes for Tamaki saying he’s the perfect actor to portray the role.
