SMAP member in 9.11 drama...

[Jason Gray]

Last night on Fuji terebi there was a 'special drama'
titled simply '9.11' starring Goro Inagaki (of SMAP fame)
portraying real-life banker Sugiyama Yoichi, who lost his
life in the 9.11 attacks on the WTC, leaving behind a wife
and three kids. I didn't watch the whole show, but it was
interesting how they intercut actual video footage of his
name being read aloud as one of the victims, and a shot of
it on the commemorative wall of names.

When I looked up some info on Fuji director Hirano Shin, I
came across this massive database on Japanese TV dramas
(30,000+ listings). Might be useful for some of you:
