Snow Man's Iwamoto and Travis Japan's Matsuda Team Up for Prime Video Drama

Iwamoto Hikaru from Snow Man and Matsuda Genta from Travis Japan are set to co-lead Prime Video's upcoming drama series "Kara-chan to Shito-san to." The show's soundtrack will be handled by electronic music duo fox capture plan.

This marks an interesting collaboration between two members from different Johnny's groups. Iwamoto serves as Snow Man's leader and one of their main dancers, while Matsuda is known as Travis Japan's energetic performer who helped establish the group's international presence during their time in Los Angeles.

The pairing brings together talents from two distinct eras of Johnny's Entertainment. Snow Man, who debuted in 2020, quickly became one of Japan's top idol groups with hits like "D.D." and "Grandeur." Travis Japan, meanwhile, made waves as the first Johnny's group to debut globally through Capitol Records in 2022.

fox capture plan, the electronic duo known for their anime soundtracks and atmospheric compositions, will provide the musical backdrop for the series. Their involvement suggests the drama may lean into a more contemporary, possibly tech-influenced aesthetic.

While plot details remain under wraps, the casting choice indicates Prime Video's commitment to featuring popular J-Pop idols in their original content. The collaboration between these two rising stars from different groups could signal more cross-group projects in Johnny's future roster.
