According to Wikipedia, Akina‘s upcoming Spring drama "プリマダム" is actually an adaptation of a novel titled "バレエやりたい!" ~~
The full name of Akina‘s role = 倉橋嵐子. 倉橋嵐子 is 万田佳奈（黒木瞳)’s childhood friend. They took ballet classes together. 万田佳奈 withdrew from class due to financial problem, while 倉橋嵐子 continued and became a prima ballerina.
After years, 倉橋嵐子 & 万田佳奈 reunited. 万田佳奈 has become a housewife and 倉橋嵐子, beyond her prima, has become a manager in the ballet company…
And the story starts…
PS: If the Wikipedia link doesn’t work, cut and patse "中森明菜 プリマダム" in Google and select from there…
just to add on from what I read in the synopsis in the TV mags, it was said that when 佳奈 met 嵐子, 嵐子 cannot remember 佳奈….so you know what is next lar~ typical plot.
What happens? 嵐子 gives 佳奈 a bitch slap after remembering?
That will be a first!
All these news really makes me desperately want to see the drama.
I wish they would have dub in mandarin. My chinese is very rusty and could not understand everything from the subtitle anymore.
Anyway, realisticly, I hope there is tradition chinese subtitle available at one point.
Just thought you may like to have a look at the synopsis in various Japanese TV magazine

BTW, Faithway removed the announcement "Akina is singing the ending song"…. Wonder why??
Maybe it has been changed to the theme song instead?
I hope so~!
oh.. no….
I have a bad feeling.
That’s so sweet….
