Shun Oguri plays a highschool student in Fall Drama ‘Nobunaga Concerto’

The poster for Shun Oguri’s new drama ‘Nobunaga Concerto’ has been posted on FUJI TV’s official website. Oguri is actually doing two roles for the drama. He is not only playing Oda Nobunaga, but also his modern counterpart Saburo. Saburo is an ordinary high school student who travels back in time to the Sengoku era.

The drama will air in October. The tv adaption of Ayumi Ishii’s historical manga will be followed by a movie. Shun Oguri will also be reprising the role for the film.
