Yamada Taro Monogatari

Another comedy-cum-drama that will be screened this summer is 'Yamada Taro Monogatari' starring 2 pretty boys from the boy band Arashi, Ninomiya 'Nino' Kazunari and Sakurai Sho. It airs on TBS (Channel 6) 10 pm every Friday night. Well, actually I like Arashi's songs very much because, they sang both the theme songs of 'Hana Yori Dango' (Wish) and 'Hana Yori Dango Returns!' (Love So Sweet) so no surprise here, huh?

Ok, here's the 24\7 on this drama, according to dramawiki:

Arashi members Ninomiya Kazunari and Sakurai Sho star in this comedy series based on "Yamada Taro Monogatari" by mangaka Ai Morinaga. Ninomiya plays the title character, Taro Yamada, whose family lives in extreme poverty. But because of his looks, intelligence, and athleticism, others mistakenly believe that Taro comes from a prosperous family. In contrast, Sakurai plays Taro's best friend Takuya, who really is from a successful family and who often helps out Taro in various ways.

Nino, my fav Arashi member ;-)

Usually when the members star in a drama, the theme song is sung by Arashi. Likewise, this drama's theme song is also by Arashi, entitled 'Happiness'. I've only heard it once, that is when I watched the drama last week. Will post a link to the song when I get my hands on it!

Sakurai Sho, famous for his rap skills

And finally, the correlation chart for all the characters in the drama:
