| Quote: | Nakai, Ueto star in upcoming drama about finding a marriage partner
Monday 13th April, 03:00 AM JST
TOKYO —
SMAP leader Masahiro Nakai, 36, and actress Aya Ueto, 23, will star in an upcoming Fuji TV drama called “Konkatsu!” – an abbreviated term for “kekkon katsudo” or “marriage-hunting,” coined in recent years to describe a pro-active approach to finding a marriage partner.
Nakai plays a man in his mid-30s who is devoted to his work and hasn’t given much thought to getting married, but suddenly finds himself out of a job amid the economic downturn. He considers working for the family “tonkatsu” (pork cutlet) business but finds an ad for a part-time position at the local ward office. The ad stipulates they are looking for someone who is already married, and the man lies in his application, saying he is. After this, he starts looking for a partner, and enlists the help of his friends, family and colleagues.
At a press conference to promote the drama, Ueto asked Nakai what three things he wants in a marriage partner, and he said: “I’d like a woman who goes to bed early, someone who can be by herself, and let me be by myself, and thirdly she has to be a good cook and make a good breakfast.”
Nakai returned the question and Ueto said: “He has to be diligent or serious, is polite, and can make me feel safe.” She also said that she wants to get married before she turns 30, and wants to master all the house chores.
It’s the first time for Ueto to play a leading role in the coveted Monday 9 p.m. slot, and it has been more than 10 years for Nakai. Tatsuya Ueda, member of J-pop group KAT-TUN, 25, and actress-celebrity Yumiko Shaku, 30, will also appear in the drama.
“Konkatsu!” will air from April 20.

Konkatsu! (婚カツ！)
Fuji TV, Monday 9:00pm, premieres April 20
Fuji TV has assembled a high profile cast and staff for its new Monday night drama series. SMAP's Masahiro Nakai plays the lead as the unemployed son of a tonkatsu restaurant owner. He finds a job that requires a married person, so he lies by saying that he has plans to marry, and he is forced to keep up the charade using a part-time worker from the restaurant (Aya Ueto). The relationship between the two is the key of this romantic comedy, though the series also focuses on family and friendship through Nakai's interactions with the other characters. KAT-TUN's Tatsuya Ueda is making his drama debut as Nakai's brother, while Ryuta Sato and Shosuke Tanihara play his friends.
Other Cast: Yumiko Shaku, Yukiya Kitamura, Ryo, Jun Fubuki, Isao Hashizume, Fumiyo Kohinata

Ah so, really want a HQ version of it...
Btw did you watch Waratte Iitomo Haru SP 2009? I couldn't stop laughing while watching it...
They were really enjoying the games. Konkatsu!'s team answered too many difficult questions and with AtaDan, they competed side by side, and I really didn't want to chose the winner...
Finally, AtaDan won, but Konkatsu team played very well too. 
Especially Tanihara Shosuke, he made every body surprised with the "Ice Cream" answer, even Toma, who gave the puzzle.
