Travis Japan's Kaito Matsukura is joining Snow Man's Ryota Miyadate in the upcoming drama "γ‚ΏγƒΌγƒŸγƒγƒΌγ‚ΏγƒΌγ¨ζ‹γ—γ‘γ‚ƒγ£γŸγ‚‰" (What If I Fell in Love with a Terminator?).

This marks Miyadate's first lead role in a consecutive drama series, representing a major career milestone for the Snow Man member. The drama's quirky title suggests a romantic comedy with a sci-fi twist, though specific plot details haven't been revealed yet.

For international fans, both groups are part of Johnny & Associates (now SMILE-UP.) and have been making strong impressions in recent years. Snow Man debuted in 2020 and quickly became one of Japan's top idol groups, while Travis Japan made their major debut in 2022 after gaining attention through their international activities, including appearances on America's Got Talent.

Matsukura's casting adds another layer of Johnny's talent to the production. Known for his energetic personality and strong dance skills within Travis Japan, this drama role could help expand his acting portfolio alongside his group activities.

The collaboration between members from different Johnny's groups in dramas isn't uncommon, but it always generates excitement among fans who enjoy seeing their favorites work together across group lines. No premiere date has been announced yet for the drama.
