Takimoto Miori, who will be playing the lead role in the Japanese remake of the popular Korean drama, “You’re Beautiful (Ikemen desu ne),” has cut 36 centimeters of her beautiful long black hair.

She will be playing the two roles of Miko, a girl who is filling in as her twin brother Mio, a vocalist in a rock band. Although she is merely gearing up to play her role, cutting hair is no easy task for any girl. However, Takimoto commented, “I feel refreshed! I want to be called ‘cool’ instead of ‘cute’ right now.”


On top of revealing Takimoto’s new look for this drama, they have also released the album covers for the rock band “A.N.JELL“, along with artist photos. Kis-My-Ft2’s Tamamori Yuta and Fujigaya Taisuke, as well as HEY! SAY! JUMP’s Yaotome Hikaru, are also featured on the album covers.

Being that this was before their group’s major debut, both members of Kis-My-Ft2 were amazed that their faces were on the cover of a CD, excitedly commenting, “We haven’t even debuted and our faces are on a cover of a CD!”

The insert song for the drama will be a Japanese version of the song from the Korean drama, and is currently being recorded. There may be a chance that those songs will be released in some form or another.

The drama will also feature AKB48’s Kojima Haruna as the troublemaker idol, as well as Tano Shingo as the hair stylist, which makes it a very fresh cast. With new and fresh faces gracing the TV screen, we can definitely look forward to the next wave of “Ikemen” fever!
