If this became true it would be very funny.
On the website for the manga-based drama, she's listed as the second actress from the top left, but even though she's with a major agency, it's unlikely that someone as virtually unknown as Sakura could land a major role in a drama in just a few months. There are auditions, and of course, sponsors have their own preferences, so the cast will be chosen based on what will get the ratings. She'd start with a minor role, and if she's recognized, she'd gradually move up to more major roles. I'm sure even major agencies have younger actresses in their teens, idols, and actresses with more exposure, so sponsors and others probably wouldn't be convinced to cast Sakura, who's over twenty, lacks freshness, and has no compelling story. In the end, is it all about sleeping with someone? Nakanishi hasn't said he's dating her, and Nakanishi's face when he broke up with Shinobu was indescribable.
