NEWS: Some exciting news today as the official Hello! Project site announces that Takahashi Ai will be starring in the upcoming drama series Q.E.D. - Shoumei Shuuryou, based on the manga of the same name. The drama is set to air primetime on NHK during the 2009 Winter drama season.

Ai is said to be playing the character of Kana, the female lead. Kana and close friend Sou solve crimes together, with Sou being the brains while Kana is the brawn. She is described as athletic, brave and pretty.
Ai will play opposite Nakamura Aoi (17), who has acted in both film and television before. Also starring in the drama is veteran Ishiguro Ken (42).

I gotta say this is extremely exciting news that a member of H!P is branching out into a prime time drama series in a lead role. Hopefully Ai-chan can open the doors for more H!P artists who wish to follow this career path (I know quite a few do), it's great that Ai is finally getting this chance as a lead. I can't wait to watch every week! Congrats Ai-chan!

I agree, she shined during the Ribon no Kishi musical and I heard she was also very good in the Cinderella musical; She is obviously a talented actress. :D
