MAKIDAI stars in “Tantei M” drama

EXILE’s Daisuke Maki (also known as MAKIDAI) has been given his first starring role in a television drama. He will play the lead in NTV’s one-shot drama “Tantei M,” scheduled to air next month. 

Maki has already starred in three movies, but never in a TV drama. In “Tantei M,” he plays an unmotivated, skirt-chasing, debt-laden detective. Two women visit him to request his services, and an unexpected connection between the two emerges. 

The show is said to be reminiscent of “Tantei Monogatari,” which starred the late actor Yusaku Matsuda. Yusaku’s wife, Miyuki Matsuda(47), has also been cast in “Tantei M.” Other cast members include Shizu-chan, Erina Mizuno, and Uno Kanda. 

The single episode will be broadcast on October 28, late at night (1:44am). Depending on its success, the drama may later be turned into a series.

More info about this song tie-in from Tokyograph.

Popular group EXILE has been chosen to do the theme song for the drama series “Tokyo DOGS,” which premieres next month. The song is a ballad titled “Futatsu no Kuchibiru.”

This will be EXILE’s first time providing a main theme for Fuji TV’s Monday night drama time slot, though their debut single “Your eyes only” was used as an insert song in 2001’s “Dekichatta Kekkon.” For “Tokyo DOGS,” they will also do an insert song.

“Futatsu no Kuchibiru” will be released as a double A-side with “THE GENERATION” on November 11.
