Mizuno Miki & Kuriyama Chiaki to play sisters in Winter 2014 drama "Team Batista 4 - Raden Meikyuu"

Mizuno Miki and Kuriyama will be playing sisters in the upcoming winter 2014 drama "Team Batista 4 - Raden Meikyuu" which begins its run from January 2014 in the Tuesdays 10pm timeslot. The leads will still be Ito Atsushi who plays Taguchi Kohei and Nakamura Tooru who plays Shiratori Keisuke. This time, the two will be investigating Sakuramiya Iwao (Yanagiba Toshiro),  the director of a suburb hospital involved in terminal care and both Mizuno and Kuriyama will be Sakuramiya's daughters who are also doctors. Mizuno plays the elder sister Sayuri who specialises in palliative care while Kuriyama plays Sumire, a gynaecologist. As this is Kuriyama's first role as a doctor, she commented that it was tough to memorise her lines which were peppered with medical terms. On the other hand, Mizuno said that since she and Yanagiba are not that far apart in age, it feels a bit weird for him to play her father even though he can possibly play her boyfriend in other dramas but she is eagerly anticipating acting with her "young" father.
