On Thursday, Fuji TV has confirmed the upcoming TV drama named “Code Blue : Doctor Heli Kinkyu Kyumei”, with a cast that includes NEWS member Tomohisa Yamashita, and the two rising young actresses Yui Aragaki and Erika Toda.
The concept is based on Japan’s proposal for an emergency medical service using helicopters to quickly reach those in need. A special bill was passed in June 2007 that should foster widespread adoption of the system. Yamashita stars as a young doctor-in-training, working under the guidance of an experienced “flight doctor” (Toshiro Yanagiba). Some scenes will be filmed with a real helicopter, adding to the show’s tension.
The drama will be aired some time in July, on the Thursday 10pm slot.
Other supporting roles: Manami Higa, Yosuke Asari, Kiyoshi Kodama, Ryo, Tetta Sugimoto, Susumu Terajima, and Masanobu Katsumura.
