It has been announced that Takahiro Hamada (Hama is officially spelled in an alternate form) from WESTG will appear as a guest on episode 7 of “I want to punch that scum”, which is being broadcast on the TBS Tuesday drama slot. .

This will be Hamada’s first appearance in a TBS drama. WESTꓸ will celebrate their 10th anniversary since their debut in 2024, and their summer dome tour attracted a total of 380,000 people across 8 performances in 3 cities. In May, WEST.’s new program “Hirameke!” will be aired on TBS. Their success is remarkable, with the launch of “Unpyoko Channel.”

Hamada plays boxer Yuya Izaki. He seems to have a relationship with Kairi (Yuta Tamamori/Kis-My-Ft2), and is an important role that will lead to a major change in Kairi’s life as a cameraman. Let’s pay attention to what kind of impact it will have on nautical miles.

Hokomi (Nao) and Kairi suddenly became lovers. Hokomi decides to take a professional test and takes boxing even more seriously, and Kairi takes her first steps as a sports photographer. Things seemed to be going smoothly for the two, but soon trials awaited them… What will happen to their love and dreams?

■Episode 7 synopsis
Hokomi (Nao), who has decided to take the professional test, has been steadily moving forward by adding weight training to her daily practice for the test. Hokomi was full of motivation as she was able to officially start dating Kairi (Yuta Tamamori). Meanwhile, Kairi, who has started training as a photographer under Shutaro Asakura (Jumpei Yasui), reunites with her old sparring buddy Yuya Izaki (Takahiro Hamada) during a sudden interview. Kairi was at a standstill because her photo was not accepted, but her fate will change drastically when they meet again…

One day, Hokomi loses the laptop computer provided by the city hall. As a big commotion develops, Nitta Nasu (Tamai Shiori), who has been good friends with her until now, says something unexpected to her. Furthermore, the happy times they had had up until now have changed completely, and dark clouds are hanging between Hokomi and Kairi.

■WEST. Takahiro Hamada Comment
I was surprised when I received the offer. At that time, I was just looking at the announcement for the drama (lol). I often hang out with Tama (Yuta Tamamori), but it was our first time acting together, so it was refreshing. Usually we only talk about fishing, but during the filming we got serious about acting (lol).
I play the role of a boxer named Izaki, so I hope people will pay attention to my shadow appearance. Also, I think we’ll be able to see the face of Kairi, played by Tama, that only Izaki can show, so please look forward to that as well.
