well, has cute Kid Leader Tae Yeon decided to embrace acting?? hmm it seems that she is going to star in the Musical 'Midnight Sun' ( originally a japanese novel/ movie / drama called Taiyou No Uta- Song to the Sun) as Kaoru Amane. Damn, back then, it was quite a heart warming and touching series when i watched it back then. the story goes : "A girl who can only live at night and a high school student who loves to surf as the sun rises… The two had nothing in common…Kaoru Amane, 16 years old, did not attend school but instead sang herself away every night after dark at a square in front of a train station with a guitar in her hands. She led a lifestyle in contrast to the normal people, being totally nocturnal. Kaoru was suffering from Xeroderma Pigmentosum (XP), an illness, which also might be described as the hypersensitivity to the sun, and was not allowed to be exposed to sunlight. The only motivation in her life was singing, which also was the only connection to the outside world. One day, an incident drastically changes her life…"
The series came in 2 forms, movie and drama, Yui (popular singer known to sing anime openings) as Kaoru in movie and Erika Sawajiri ( One Litre of tears) as kaoru in Drama. and now, Tae Yeon in musical version!
