Nishikido Ryo playing himself in TBS drama "Papa wa Aidoru!"

Kanjani 8's Nishikido Ryo will be playing himself in the TBS spring drama "Papa wa Aidoru!" (Daddy is an idol) which is scheduled to begin airing in April at 9pm on Thursdays. The drama is a remake of Nakayama Miho's 1987 drama "Mama wa Aidoru" where she played a top idol who married a man with three children. In Nishikido's version, he will appear as himself using his real name and his fellow Kanjani 8 members will also make appearances using their real names. The story depicts his life after marrying a single mother played by Yuka who has three children. Kawashima Umika plays her eldest daughter. Nishikido would have to deal with the demands of his agency to either quit being an idol or divorce his wife within three months. If news of his marriage leaks out, he would have to retire immediately.
