The Japanese version will center on low-ranking detectives Shingo Tokita and Asobu Shiina as they embark on a large-scale stakeout mission. It is set to launch with six episodes on Amazon Prime Video on December 17.<\/p>\n<p><em>No Activity<\/em>&#8216;s Japanese adaptation stars Etsushi Toyokawa and Tomoya Nakamura. Tsutomu Hanabusa directs the series, whose scripts are written by Jiro of the comedy duo Sissonne.<\/p>\n<p><em>No Activity<\/em> has previously been adapted by CBS All Access\/Paramount+ in the U.S., HBO Max in Spain, NPO3 in the Netherlands, Streamz in Belgium, RTL Now in Germany and OSN in the Middle East.<\/p>\n<p>Toyokawa said: \u201cI truly enjoyed Jiro\u2019s scripts and found every line very convincing. Since I knew my buddy was going to be played by Tomoya, I was very happy to accept the offer. Please enjoy the dialogue between our characters, which is full of wit and humor.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Nakamura commented: \u201cIt is rare in Japan to find a comedy-drama where the story unfolds only with conversations. I knew I would really enjoy being involved in this series, and I hope Prime members will enjoy my character\u2019s unusual friendship with Tokita.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Hanabusa said: \u201cJiro\u2019s scripts were impressive, and I just loved it. This series is a totally new, never-before-seen detective drama starring great actors, so I hope audiences look forward to the launch.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Jiro added: \u201cI was overwhelmed when I saw the big names on the cast list. The dialogue between these unique characters makes this series a must-see. I\u2019m excited to see how it turns out under Tsutomu\u2019s direction.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Amazon has commissioned a Japanese adaptation of the Australian comedy\u00a0No Activity.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1412,"featured_media":8537,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"pmpro_default_level":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[2363,2364],"class_list":["post-8536","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","","category-top-stories","tag-amazon","tag-no-activity","pmpro-has-access"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v21.7 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Amazon Adapting No Activity for Japan - TVFORMATS<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/amazon-adapting-no-activity-for-japan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Amazon Adapting No Activity for Japan - TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Amazon has commissioned a Japanese adaptation of the Australian comedy\u00a0No Activity.\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:url\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/amazon-adapting-no-activity-for-japan\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:site_name\" content=\"TVFORMATS\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:published_time\" content=\"2021-10-22T13:00:07+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"article:modified_time\" content=\"2021-10-22T18:23:47+00:00\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:image\" content=\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/10\/2015\/09\/Amazon-NoActivity-1021.jpeg\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:width\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:height\" content=\"1\" \/>\n\t<meta property=\"og:image:type\" content=\"image\/jpeg\" \/>\n<meta name=\"author\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:card\" content=\"summary_large_image\" \/>\n<meta name=\"twitter:label1\" content=\"Written by\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data1\" content=\"Jamie Stalcup\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:label2\" content=\"Est. reading time\" \/>\n\t<meta name=\"twitter:data2\" content=\"1 minute\" \/>\n<script type=\"application\/ld+json\" class=\"yoast-schema-graph\">{\"@context\":\"https:\/\/schema.org\",\"@graph\":[{\"@type\":\"WebPage\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/amazon-adapting-no-activity-for-japan\/\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/amazon-adapting-no-activity-for-japan\/\",\"name\":\"Amazon Adapting No Activity for Japan - TVFORMATS\",\"isPartOf\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\"},\"datePublished\":\"2021-10-22T13:00:07+00:00\",\"dateModified\":\"2021-10-22T18:23:47+00:00\",\"author\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\"},\"breadcrumb\":{\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/amazon-adapting-no-activity-for-japan\/#breadcrumb\"},\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"ReadAction\",\"target\":[\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/amazon-adapting-no-activity-for-japan\/\"]}]},{\"@type\":\"BreadcrumbList\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/amazon-adapting-no-activity-for-japan\/#breadcrumb\",\"itemListElement\":[{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":1,\"name\":\"Home\",\"item\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\"},{\"@type\":\"ListItem\",\"position\":2,\"name\":\"Amazon Adapting No Activity for Japan\"}]},{\"@type\":\"WebSite\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#website\",\"url\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/\",\"name\":\"TVFORMATS\",\"description\":\"\",\"potentialAction\":[{\"@type\":\"SearchAction\",\"target\":{\"@type\":\"EntryPoint\",\"urlTemplate\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/?s={search_term_string}\"},\"query-input\":\"required name=search_term_string\"}],\"inLanguage\":\"en-US\"},{\"@type\":\"Person\",\"@id\":\"https:\/\/worldscreen.com\/tvformats\/#\/schema\/person\/0da12602224807cc7b179b8405018deb\",\"name\":\"Jamie Stalcup\",\"description\":\"Jamie Stalcup is the executive editor of World Screen.
