Riho tv drama roles and other appearances

Riho Sayashi will be a guest star in the 7th episode of the popular TV Tokyo drama "Chefu wa, mei tantei" (The chef is a detective).


Airing every Monday at 11:06 pm, the drama is based on a popular novel series, which has sold more than 360,000 copies.  Chef Shinobu Mifune uses his brilliance to solve mysteries and unexplained events that take place in his restaurant Bistro Pa-Maru.

Episode 7 is a story of friendship, starring Kanako Miyashita as Shimako Yamashita, a young woman that brings fine wine to the store.  Riho Sayashi plays the role of her childhood friend, Haruka.

Episode 7 Synopsis
Yamashita comes to the store to discuss about the expensive wines she brought in.  Her friends, who gather the next day, seem to be fed up with her snobbish behavior, especially Haruka (played by Riho Sayashi).

Riho's comments: I think everyone will be able to relate to Haruka's clumsiness and the misunderstandings that arise between her and her best friend.  Please look forward to the broadcast to find out how Chef Mifune will try to fix the relationship between these two friends.  I was also impressed by the warm atmosphere in Bistro Pa Maru.  The authentic French cuisine we had during certain scenes as well as breaks in the shooting was excellent.  Please pay attention to the dishes too.

Comments by Riho's co-star, Kanako Miyashita: Surrounded by the very reliable regular cast of the drama series, I had a great time co-starring with Riho Sayashi, who played my friend Haruka.  Please look forward to how the distance between the two best friends closes with the help of Chef Mifune's arguments, and ... wonderful food.  It would make me happy if people who watched this episode thought of their loved ones.

The episode will air on July 19 at 11:06 pm on TV Tokyo.

    
Riho will also be starring in the drama "准教授・高槻彰良の推察" (a loose translation of which would be "Professor Takatsuki solving mysteries").  The drama, which will start on August 7, on Fuji TV, and is based on a popular book series, involving a university professor and a graduate student, who has the ability to recognize when someone is lying, solving mysterious cases.  It is unknown yet what Riho's role will be.


On July 16 at 7:30 pm on NHK Plus, Riho will be presenting an episode of "Round Chugoku" on the Amazing and unusual houses of Hiroshima.


Riho also appeared on the tv show of Sanma Akashiya to talk about Ai Takahashi and her husband Koji Abe.  She said that when she makes dinner plans with Takahashi, Takahashi always brings her husband with her.  Also, when they visit each other's houses, when Abe leaves the table, Takahashi will talk to Riho about him, and when Takahashi leaves the table, Abe will talk to Riho about her.  Riho didn't want to say more in order not to sound insensitive, but Sanma agreed that the couple's behavior is annoying.

Riho has of course also released her first song, and I will be writing about that in another post.
