[NEWS] Tomoya Nagase plays an eccentric, good-looking pathologist in the TV drama, Fragile


One panel from Fragile

Bin Kusamizu's original work, Fragile, with art by Megumi Saburou, will have a television drama adaptation. It will start on the 13th of January in 2016 on Fuji Television.

Fragile is a medical-themed work serialised in Kodansha's monthly publication, Afternoon. A pathologist's job is to diagnose diseases based on an assortment of data, including but not limited to a patient's bodily fluids, stool samples, cells, and blood. It's been decided that the protagonist, a pathologist named Keiichiro Kishi, will be played by none other than TOKIO's Tomoya Nagase.

It'll be 15 years since Nagase's last foray into the world of medical dramas, that being when he starred in TBS' drama, Handoku!!!, in 2001. However, this time he plays the only suit-wearer in a group of white coats, who more often than not clashes with those who're more passionate than he. As far as how playing the character goes, one way to think of it is that "Kishi is intensely eccentric, but also holds one of the most brilliant minds".

Cast & Staff's Comments

Tomoya Nagase (Keiichiro Kishi)
There're quite a lot of positive points that've been put into this drama. While the main character is pretty stubborn in his eccentricities, within that there also lies a sort of kindness, some feeling of heroism, and various other emotions that I feel you'll be able to see. Furthermore, a number of interesting happenings are no doubt going to happen due to Kishi's intense personality. There's definitely a meaning in why he is the way that he is, and Kishi's character in all its entirety will be explored and understood as the story goes on. That being said, I don't think there's ever been a medical drama quite like this one, ever. As I'm looking forward to working in this role, I hope that everyone intending to watch will look forward to seeing it, too.

Bin Kusamizu (Fragile's writer)
When we were throwing suggestions about the drama, the first person that popped up in my mind (to play Kishi) was Nagase-san and the brilliance of his acting skill. The thought of him playing the intense, eccentric, self-centred Dr. Kishi was an attractive idea from the beginning, so I do hope that everyone looks forward to it!

Megumi Saburou (Fragile's artist)
The moment I heard Tomoya Nagase-san would be starring in the drama, my excitement showed when I went all, "Oh my God! I wanna see it now!" In fact, that excitement just keeps building and building up the longer it goes on. I'm severely excited for January.

congratssss nagase-kun!!!!!
hahaha everyone bricked bc it's not MJ for this drama *nah blame wrong news for the magz for this*
im not usually watch his drama actually hah. but this the 2nd time he's become doctor's role right?
i only watch him in Handoku with nino ^^;

[identity profile] kurokouchi.livejournal.com 2015-10-19 11:27 am (UTC)(link)
You know, I actually didn't know this drama existed AT ALL, but earlier this morning (at like 6 A.M.) my friend texted me like "NAGASE HAS A NEW DRAMA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" and I was like "OH MY GOD WHAT????????????????"

And then I googled it and the first result was an article with the title "Tomoya Nagase for Fragile TV drama, not Jun Matsumoto!" and I was like "oh no the Arashi fans are gonna get mad......" :))) And then I went on Tumblr and in the #nagase tomoya tag there was an Arashian there like "It's not MJ :( I'm so disappointed" and I felt bad for laughing but I laughed a little bit XD

JUN WAS IN A DRAMA LAST YEAR THOUGH!!! ShitsuChoco, right? I only watched the first five episodes or something before I got bored of it =))) I actually haven't finished any Jun dramas ever... MEANWHILE tomo's last drama was in 2013 so it's fine he deserves a new drama :'|

But yes this is second doctor role! :) Except this time it's more like he studies how diseases appear? Instead of really talking to patients or healing them and stuff... I REMEMBER HANDOKU THOUGH nino was so young and cute there oh my god

[identity profile] nihonarashi.livejournal.com 2015-10-19 04:46 pm (UTC)(link)
haha desu yo ne~ for me im totally ok if not jun XD
but for some arashi fans jun who got at least 1 or 2 dramas/movie each year, no jun dramas in year really frustating XD

and yes pathologist not do invasion to patient^^ more lab works for diagnose disease cause
nagase sooo hot and young in handoku ne~ nino such a innocent cutipie who forced become gangster lol

[identity profile] kurokouchi.livejournal.com 2015-10-19 05:04 pm (UTC)(link)
Jun gets 1/2 dramas/movies per year???? ARE YOU SERIOUS???????????????????? TOKIO MEMBERS GET NOTHING................ V6 is fine because Okada's in it though :)))) so they always have something

Nino in Handoku made me so sad oh my God he really didn't deserVE WHAT HAPPENED TO HIM!!!!! And honestly when it comes to Tomoya it's like... I loved it when he had orange hair. *____* It was one of my favourite Tomo hairstyles, seriously.

[identity profile] nihonarashi.livejournal.com 2015-10-20 07:00 am (UTC)(link)
yeppp. at least he got 1 solo job for a year^^
it was sooooo hurty watching handoku bc nino is T______________T

[identity profile] kurokouchi.livejournal.com 2015-10-20 08:18 pm (UTC)(link)

I CRIED WHEN NINO ;ksdl;hfsl;dkflj ALSO.................... HE SERIOUSLY DIDNT DESERVE IT I WAS SO MAD HE WAS JUST SO CUTE AND INNOCENT LIKE COME ON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[identity profile] nihonarashi.livejournal.com 2015-10-21 03:21 am (UTC)(link)
oh yess arashi is super active. it's like they have news everyday o_o you out for twitter for hours, you back you can see "ah there's something new agaiinnn????"
jun got one drama last year. in 2013, new year drama sp and movie. i watch jun's stuff but nit much as i watch nino's work.
nino is SUPER BUSY this year a drama new year sp, he's seiyuu fot korosensei in ansatsu LA, a movie in dec (haha to kuraseba) and also filming drama sp for 2016!! ah of course he will work again for ansatsu LA 2nd season in 2016.

my fave drama is freeter. the story soooo heartwarming and sad. even nino crying watching himself hahah

[identity profile] kurokouchi.livejournal.com 2015-10-21 01:11 pm (UTC)(link)
oh my god, that's amazing. and in arashi fandom there're a lot of translators too, right? so that must be nice!!!

smap is kinda like that but i don't pay attention to them enough to really be affected by it :))) the most news i've received lately is for okada's career and stuff what with toshokan sensou and all! and the gakkou e ikou 3 hour sp news, of course. =))) nothing ever happens in tokio's life so i'm always sitting here getting cobwebs waiting for them to fucking DO SOMETHING...

oh but the ansatsu thingy!! is that the one with yamada from hsj? i think my friends in indonesia watched it recently and i was like "YOU GUYS HAVE JAPANESE FILMS IN THE CINEMA??!?!?!?!" and got super jealous :| like i wanna watch nagase's movie next year but i think i have to wait for the dvd... *cries*

does freeter have romance in it? :|

[identity profile] nihonarashi.livejournal.com 2015-10-21 03:59 pm (UTC)(link)
yepp there's some subbing teams until now. many more before but going hiatus and closing due of rule breakers T____T

i dont pay attention for smap too. i just watch some of pld smap bistro episodes^^;
oh yessss toshokan sensou last mission out. he's so super very busy rn everyday on tv for promotion hahahah.
i hope tokio get more jobs next year^^ how many bangumis they have now???

oh yessss you can ansatsu come in cinema here *im indonesian too btw* Japanese movie will come in Blitz and Platimum Cineplec here. but........not each city have these theaters!!!! include in my city orz orz orz. and im too lazy to go out to other city, plus i already download it hahahahah XDD

yepp it had a bit romance. more romance in freeter SP^^

[identity profile] kurokouchi.livejournal.com 2015-10-21 07:42 pm (UTC)(link)
ohhhh :( ... what do rule breakers even do? like upload it to youtube or something ? ://///

MAN I... i like the older smasma episodes better :| like i loved their stupid skits so much and it kinda sucks that theyre mostly doing bistro now :| but i guess it's because they're all old men already =))
TOKIO has two shows! The! Tetsuwan! DASH!! and TOKIO Kakeru. meanwhile taichi has a tv show everyday of the week i think and gussan is a caster on ZIP! from monday to wednesday... i think leader is also a caster? but for sports???? i don't remember :)))) mabo does tokyo 22hr live (like aiba!) and then tomo has a dumb radio show about cars and motorcycles that runs for thirty minutes everyday :D

when you downloaded the ansatsu thing was it already a clear version? :O like a dvd????? BUT WOW!!! all my indonesian friends are arashians... are there a lot of arashi fans in indonesia or something XD

i hate romance dramas omfg???? i dont know why i just cant stand watching them >:((( but i actually did consider watching freeter cos i love human dramas.................i just didn't know if there was a lot of romance or not >_

[identity profile] nihonarashi.livejournal.com 2015-10-22 09:59 am (UTC)(link)
yepp something like that. reupload everywhere and claim as them
the worst is they sold it!
ahh they still have their own jobs are still awsome i think^^
bc some groups even dont have their own bangumi i think

yesssss a lot johnny's fans actually here!
oh no freeter doesn have chep romance like that.
it only in last chap even i can say it only 5% of last episode lolz
and in sp increase become 10-15% i thnk
freeter reallyyy good drama^^

[identity profile] kurokouchi.livejournal.com 2015-10-22 10:03 am (UTC)(link)
WOW WHAT!!?!?!??! SELLING SUBS??????????????? that's like the lowest of the low... D: i can't believe that actually happens, omg. but arashi fandom is so huge so i guess its not so surprising :(

wait, the blu-ray of ansatsu came out immediately after it was released in the theatres? seriously?????

maybe i'll watch freeter hehehehe but i'll do it after i finish the kimura dramas i've started ;sldfkl;shd

[identity profile] nihonarashi.livejournal.com 2015-10-23 05:15 am (UTC)(link)
yepp that was the worst. even it old issue. around 2012/2013
but bc of this many subbing teams stop their works uhh. just nowdays there are some new subbing team appears again finally ><
arashi fandom so big that's why with full of kind or sometimes rude fans too :(

it not theater release. i mean the dvd and bluray release in japan^^

[identity profile] kurokouchi.livejournal.com 2015-10-24 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa, so Arashi hasn't had an active subbing team for a while? For some reason I always thought there was always at least one team around for Arashi stuff. :O That makes me wonder if the VS Arashi with Okada was subbed yet or not...

[identity profile] nihonarashi.livejournal.com 2015-10-24 03:12 am (UTC)(link)
yepp it around 2013 or 2014 i think

[identity profile] kurokouchi.livejournal.com 2015-10-24 11:50 pm (UTC)(link)
OOOOHHHHHHHH THAT'S EXCITING IF IT HASN'T BEEN SUBBED YET FUFUFU not that I promise I'll ever sub it 'cause VSA is actually a pain to subtitle when the games start and all :| But I might... 'cause it's interesting............

I don't think I've seen Taichi's SCP grad ever subbed! :O Heikeha was there, right? But on that note I don't have the raw video for it either ;lfk;sjdg;lk How long is it?

[identity profile] nihonarashi.livejournal.com 2015-10-25 02:59 am (UTC)(link)

800 LINES WHAT THE FUCK the only time i ever reached something like that was when I subbed TOKIO's 2hr special on Tokyo Friend Park, but it was hell and I always got so lazy in the middle of it XD i don't think dash even reaches that much? and in tetsuwan dash they talk quite a lot... :|
