Men keep coming to them but happiness just keeps running away... a tragic tale of "marriage"!?
In Hanawake no Yonshimai, Mizuki Arisa plays the role of the Hanawa family's second daughter who's already had three children and two divorces. The four sisters in this family all suffer from bad luck with guys, being unmarried, divorced, desperately looking to get married and a virgin... This family drama focuses on the keyword "marriage" as it tells the story of these four sisters who were raised by a mother who believed unquestionably in her husband's love and cherished love as a young girl would. The drama is based on a popular manga by Saimon Fumi whose other works include "Tokyo Love Story", "Asu naro Hakusho" and "Kobayakawa Nobuki no Koi". The second daughter (played by Mizuki) is just trying to live true to herself but is seen as a woman who falls in love too much and as a "problem child" in the family. But as her troubles pull in the rest of her family their bonds are only deepened. Look out for how these four girls each "search for happiness" in their own way.
Official twitter mentioned Shige!

The father will be played by Endou Kenichi and the mother by Miyazaki Yoshiko. And the keyman leading the four sisters on will be played by popular group NEWS' Kato Shigeaki! For all of you laughing at the fact Kato-kun's character is a playboy, we hope you look forward to it... and might need your screams of support too LOL #hanawake #TBS

Kato-kun has kept in touch with Director Yoshida since "PapaMusu" and you can tell they really trust each other. They've been talking about what direction they want the series to go in and then calculating backwards to decide how they want the characters to be at the beginning of the show. You could really feel their bond through this discussion. #hanawake #TBS

During a break in photographing posters for the drama we talked with Kato Shigeaki-kun about what kind of photos he usual takes. Apparently he takes photos of scenery, people, all kinds of things... and always takes his camera on him when he goes on trips. He says there are precious feelings stored in ever single one of his film photos. That makes you want to see what kind of photos he takes, doesn't it~~☆ #hanawake #TBS
Plus a comment on the official homepage (I'm not positive on the reading of Shige's character's name, 益子正三郎... sorry ><)
Kato Shigeaki
This is Kato Shigeaki, and I'll be playing Mashiko Shouzaburou. He's a playboy photographer and I do photography as a hobby myself so I hope I can put my experience to use there. This is my first time acting as a playboy so I'd like to have fun causing trouble in the Hanawa family! I will do my best not to betray fans of Saimon Fumi's original manga.
