Snow Man Watanabe Shota's drama "Sayonara Sensei" Blu-ray & DVD BOX package details & bonus footage revealed

■Over 100 minutes in total! The first digest of the huge bonus footage has been released!

Ahead of the release of the Blu-ray and DVD BOX of the Nippon Television Syndra drama “Sayonara Sensei” (broadcast from January 22nd to March 25th), in which Snow Man’s Watanabe Shota plays his first solo lead role in a serial drama, the package design and the full details of the bonus footage have been revealed. The first digest of the bonus footage has also been released.

In this work, Watanabe passionately plays the protagonist, Tamura Takuro, in two love stories, one in the present as a 27-year-old high school teacher, and the other in the past as a 17-year-old high school student. Kita Kana plays the heroine, Naito Yumiko, a Japanese teacher seven years older than Takuro and with whom he had a crush in the past. Hayashi Meari, making her drama debut, plays Joshima Yayoi, a student who falls in love with Tamura, who is now a high school art teacher. It is a bright yet sad school love story of reincarnation and intersection.

The package design that has just been released is a special box that uses the poster visual, and the back design is also carefully crafted, with the tall case photo and disc design expressing the worldview of “Sayonara Sensei”. In addition, the special 16-page booklet has a special design based on the sketchbook that appeared in the movie, and is full of friendly shots of Watanabe and his co-stars. Enjoy plenty of off-shots that you can only see here.
