Actor Takuma Usa will appear in the TV Tokyo drama series At 25:00, in Akasaka starting April 18.

The series is based on the manga series of the same title by Hiroko Natsuno, which was serialized in the BL magazine On Blue. It has sold over 1.2 million copies and tells the bittersweet story of a romance between two actors in the entertainment industry. Takuma Usa will play Hajime Sakuma, a fellow actor.

The series will be broadcast domestically and streamed worldwide simultaneously with the help of GagaOOLala, a Taiwanese video-sharing service specializing in LGBTQ content.

<Comment from Takuma Usa>
“I’m Takuma Usa, and I’ll be playing the role of Hajime Sakuma. Having read the original manga series, I could relate to so many aspects of it being in the entertainment industry, so I couldn’t wait to start filming. I hope everyone watching At 25:00 in Akasaka will be thrilled as if they’re watching something happening in real life. I’ll be sure to play my role so that I can support the two leading actors behind the scenes throughout the production.”
