Actress Adachi Yumi (27) will star in a modern version of "Ienakiko" (Homeless Child), it has been announced today.

The band Ossan is releases a cover version of Nakajima Miyuki's hit song "Sora to Kimi no Aidani" and Adachi Yumi will appear in their music video. The same song was used in 1994~95 as the theme song for the dorama "Ienakiko" that also starred Adachi Yumi.

"Don't sympathize me, but give me money." That's one of the quotes that will remain in the history of doramas forever and became the buzzword of the year back then. Adachi played the role of a gifted child who had to live through a very tough life. 14 years passed since that dorama aired on NTV. Adachi had a shotgun wedding with comedian Itoda Jun (36), but they soon divorced. Her daughter is 2 years old now and she's living on as a single mother.

She herself changed and so will her role. Before she played a strong primary school student who had to endure endless bullying and a family that can't get any worse. In the music video she is going to play a teacher who helps a young girl out of her lonliness caused by bullying.

"When they offered me to do this role, I was simply happy. It was a lot of fun to play that role. The song is wonderful and will make a lot of people feel all warm and fluffy after listening to it. It also brought back all the memories from the past for me."
