Screening of NHK drama SP "Hajimari no Uta"

A screening event of NHK's drama SP "Hajimari no Uta" starring Arashi's Matsumoto Jun was held in Tokyo on 19 September. The drama SP is a commemorative work to mark the 80th anniversary of NHK's Gakkou Ongaku Contest and is based on Arashi's song "Furusato" first sung during the 2010 NHK Kouhaku. Matsumoto plays a freelance camera who works in Tokyo and is sent to his hometown on an assignment where he reunites with his ex-girlfriend and meets a group of primary school students who work hard towards entering a choir contest which gives him the motivation to chase after his dream again. In the drama SP, Matsumoto has to play the piano but he said that it was tough to use both hands at the same time so he also practiced on the piano at the hotel he was staying in while on location shooting.
