**Tokyo, Japan** – Filming has concluded for the TBS Sunday drama “Caster,” starring Abe Hiroshi, which aired its final episode on June 15th. Abe, along with co-stars Nagano Mei and Michieda Shunsuke (of Naniwa Danshi), shared their thoughts on the completion of the project.
“Caster” revolved around a news program and the pursuit of truth in the face of hidden scandals. Abe played the unorthodox news anchor, Soichi Shindo, while Nagano played the director, Saki Kubo, and Michieda played a rookie AD with journalistic aspirations, Yusuke Motohashi.
Abe expressed the challenge of portraying the role of Shindo, while expressing gratitude for the support of the cast and crew. Nagano noted how inspired she was by Abe’s character. Michieda remarked he would experience “Caster loss”, and how he looked forward to going to the set every day, but would make sure to “switch gears.”
The final episode explored the circumstances surrounding a past plane crash involving Shindo’s father, and a scandal involving the “News Gate” program.
