Fall in love with food on the slopes without skiing! The completely original lifestyle drama "Slope Meals," which depicts a new way to enjoy snowy mountains, will start airing on Tuesday, April 8, 2025, on the MBS/TBS Dramaism slot!
The series is produced by MBS, which has produced a variety of gourmet dramas such as "Midnight Diner" and "Izakaya Shinkansen.
" When the films "Take Me Skiing" and "I Want to Fall in Love So Much That the Slopes Melt" were released, ski slopes were a sacred place for lovers. Now, in the Reiwa era, ski slopes have undergone a major transformation in response to the desires of young people who want to see snow but don't like skiing... who find it a pain to change clothes... and who only want to go to clean, attractive places! This is a high-energy romantic comedy that introduces the rapidly developing and exciting world of "ski slope food."
The film stars Shirahama Alan, leader of GENERATIONS, who is also active in EXILE/PKCZ® while continuing to work as an actor in a variety of productions, and Yamamoto Mizuki, who debuted as an exclusive model for the magazine CanCam and has since appeared in numerous dramas and films as an actor. The cast also includes Kukkie! (Yoseibakudan), who has a unique presence as a comedian and is popular as an actor thanks to his unique sensibility, and Furudate Yutaro, who is active as a musician and actor. Hirose Kohmi, who sings the theme song "Romance no Kamisama", plays the owner of the bar "Romance"Furui GodThis is the character's first appearance in a drama!
~Pre-screening and talk event~
The editorial team, who attended the advance screening and talk event, will introduce the event and highlights of the drama as discussed by each cast member
The first 30 minutes are a screening. The story progresses at a good pace, and the mood lifts every time the theme song plays. The sound effects in the theater give the dining scenes an ASMR-like quality, and the food reviews are full of snow-related descriptions, such as "like falling snow" and "like collapsing in powder snow." There are countless videos showcasing ski resorts, but seeing a ski resort as a drama is a refreshing change of pace
The last 30 minutes were a talk event. Hirose Kohmi, who thought she would only be performing the song but was half-tricked into appearing, said, "I only have my own lines in the song, but the script had lines for many people, so it was a different challenge than singing. I don't think I'll be appearing in any more dramas," but according to the other cast members, she acted as the facilitator on set
There was also a segment where the cast members suggested their "dream ski slope meal," with each giving a unique answer such as "iron pot gyoza," "Jiro-style ramen," and "salmon sashimi," but Cookie was the only one who chose "ski sushi," a worldview that ordinary people would never understand. Looking back on the filming, Cookie said, "Apart from the two main actors, no one else got to eat ski slope food and we were starving," and "Smoking cigarettes on a snowy mountain was delicious." She also said that when watching the drama, you should watch it on an empty stomach and in a cold room
The first episode is set at Yuzawa Kogen Ski Resort in Niigata Prefecture. It will be broadcast in the spring, but we hope you will use it as reference for choosing a ski resort for next season, and head out to the slopes as the main character and enjoy the food on the slopes to your heart's content
