Tegoshi Yuya of NEWS will appear for the first time in the popular horror special drama “Honto ni Atta Kowai Hanashi" (True Scary Stories). It will air on August 19th (9pm JST, Fuji TV)

This series is popularly known as "Honkowa", an horror drama which began in 1999, that reproduces psychic phenomena and mysterious experiences from various parts of Japan.

Tegoshi's episode is titled "A certain apartment" and he'll play the role of Shuuichi Inaba, an employee of a cleaning company who's not good at working with other people and has some trouble in finding jobs. One day while he's cleaning an old apartment block, he encounters a middle-aged man in the elevator. When he gets out and looks backwards he sees a woman with long hair and red clothes standing close to the man as if being stuck to him, and the story begins from the moment the man jumps off the apartment and commits suicide.

Tegoshi says he's excited to challenge something unusual for the first time, as he is so afraid of ghosts and horror in general. He wants to show us his reaction even though he knows he'll be so freaked out!
