AKB48 and Johnny's Join Forces for [Shiritsu Baka Rare Koukou] Drama

A new drama titled [Shiritsu Baka Rare Koukou] is set to start airing every week from April 14th on Nihon TV. The drama's cast is an ensemble of Team 4, Kenkyusei and Johnny's Junior members!

This isn't the first time an AKB48 member will be starring next to a Johnny's member but it is the first time that a whole lot of members from both sides starring together. The drama is written by Akimoto Yasushi as well and the plot line revolves around two schools merging together: one of them a yankee school (Johnny's) and the AKB member's school which is sort of a "Bishoujo Oujou-sama school."



The cast of the drama till now is confirmed to comprise of:

AKB48
Shimazaki Haruka
Shimada Haruka
Oba Mina
Nakamura Mariko
Nagao Mariya
Kobayashi Marina

Johnny's Jr
Morimoto Shintaro
Matsumura Hokuto
Kyomoto Taiga
Tanaka Juri
Jesse Lewis
Kochi Yugo


The school has three rules which are quite funny in my opinion. The rules are:

1. Love Relationship Prohibited
2. Exchange of phone numbers and email prohibited
3. Sleep Early, Wake Up Early

This is indeed very exciting because a collaboration with Japan's two most top idol groups is huge deal.  I'm also glad this time its not the top members, but the lower members of AKB getting the drama for themselves. I know, I'm already very excited about this.
