Two more main cast members have been revealed for the upcoming Fuji TV drama series "GOLD." The show was first announced last month with Yuki Amami (42) as the star, and now she has been joined by Takashi Sorimachi (36) and Masami Nagasawa (23).

As previously described, "GOLD" is a home drama about a charismatic sports gym manager named Yuri Saotome (Amami) raising her children with the goal of achieving gold medals in the Olympic games. Sorimachi plays a swimming coach and former Olympic athlete, who is a childhood friend of Yuri but also has feelings for her. Nagasawa has been cast as Yuri's secretary.

"GOLD" premieres this July, airing on Thursdays at 10:00pm.

If the storyline is anything to go by, I'm not sure this is going to be a good drama but perhaps I'll attempt an episode to see whether it does any justice to Amami Yuki.
