CHANGE - Takuya Kimura

*A "Must see" for the Takuya Kimura fans!
This May/2008 drama is filled with love, politics, and ambition of good and evil...
I watch this drama from time to time, and feels this drama is one of Takuya Kimura's BEST!

The story beings with the deaths of ruling party's Fukuoka prefecture member of parliament and his eldest son, his heir apparent, in an plane accident. a by-election had to be held right away and, Kanbayashi Masaichi, the House secretary of the ruling party, conceived the idea of fielding the second son, Asakura Keita (Takuya Kimura), and sent his secretary Miyama Rika (Eri Fukatsu) to complete the task.

Keita (Takuya Kimura) was an elementary school teacher in Nagano prefecture and his hobby was star gazing. He had no interest in politics. At Rika's (Eri Fukatsu) persuasion and the pressure of his family, he reluctantly agreed to run for office but with no intention of winning. However, with the help of Nirasawa Katsutoshi (Hiroshi Abe), an election strategist, he went on to win by a narrow margin of just 164 votes.

When the Prime Minister was forced to resign over allegation of sexual harrassment, Kanbayashi concocted the idea of nominating the inept Keita to run for the party's leadership and thereby becoming the next Prime Minister as he thought it would be easy to manipulate him and work the situation to his own advantage so he would become the next PM when Keita failed. However, the sincerity and hard work of Keita soon won over every sceptic and as Kanbayashi found out, he was not a puppet on his strings. Kanbayashi had to come up with another scheme to destroy Keita.
