【Starring NON】 Fuji TV's Wednesday 10 PM drama “Tokyo Middle 30” reveals full main cast! Premieres July 22

The main cast for Fuji TV’s July drama series *Tokyo middle 30*, starring NON, has now been fully announced.
The first episode will air on Wednesday, July 22. It airs every Wednesday at 10:00 p.m.

*Tokyo middle 30* is a romantic drama that realistically portrays the “present” lives of women in their mid-30s. Based on the Chinese hit series “What 30-Year-Old Women Think: A Shanghai Women’s Story,” this is an original Japanese remake. The story follows three women who have come to Tokyo from provincial cities, only to face a reality that doesn’t go as planned. As they cry and laugh together, they search for their own paths in life at the crossroads of turning 35.

Following lead actress Riisa Naka and NON, who plays Haruka Yamaji—the second lead and the protagonist’s “best friend since high school” who charges ahead on sheer momentum—it has now been announced that Mai Fukagawa will star as the third and final lead.

The third protagonist, Kaoruko Nagano, played by Fukagawa, is a 35-year-old who is diligent and reliable but tends to be a bit of a “mind-reader”—someone who expects others to understand her without her having to say much—especially with her current boyfriend. She works as an elementary school teacher at a public school in Tokyo. She’s a planner who, ever since high school, has envisioned a perfect life plan: “After graduating from college, I’ll get married, have two kids, get a cat, and live in a condo in Setagaya!”

This marks the first time all three main cast members, including NON, have appeared together on screen! Please look forward to the authentic banter between these three classmates and the unique chemistry that comes from their first collaboration.
