Here are some magazine scans and translation
thanks to takki.us
Finally, the first interview between “God” and the “Evil,”
Dark Takizawa and Angel Nishikido
We’re revealing the poster and photo shoot of Takizawa Hideaki and Nishikido Ryo’s first collaboration drama, Orthros no Inu. Since the crank-in, the demon Ryuuzaki Shinji (Takizawa) who has the healing hands of God and the angel Aoi Ryousuke (Nishikido) who has the murderous hands of the Devil have started to quickly embrace their roles.
Takizawa-kun and Nishikido-kun were at a shoot where they were told to lift and pose with their hands (because their hands play an important role in this drama). The objective was to express a secret that is kept inside them, so they were each told to face the camera with their own different expressions.
In Takizawa-kun’s enthusiastic performance, he gave the strong impression of a charismatic, yet mysterious man. During the shoot, he was able to keep his face, pose and the atmosphere of the studio very intense. When the shoot ended, the staff said “That was very good ne” and Takki’s face lit up in a smile - his facial expression completely different from what it was a minute ago.
Meanwhile, Nishikido-kun, who’s character despises his own powers, presents himself with a sad expression. But when the staff said “try to look even sadder,” he smiled shyly and said “but its a little embarassing…”
The confrontation between Ryuuzaki and Aoi, who meet each other through a checkered destiny. The battle between them is coming soon!!

Just in case anyone was wondering what Orthros meant :
Greek Mythology:
KYON ORTHROS (or Orthus) was a two-headed, serpent-tailed dog, a brother of monsters such as Kerberos and the Khimaira. He mated with the latter, siring the Sphinx and Nemean Lion.
His master was the three-bodied giant Geryon, king of the sunset isle of Erytheia. Orthros was set to guard his master's fabulous herd of red-skinned cattle. When Herakles was sent to fetch these as one of his twelve labours, he slew Orthros, the herdsman Eurytion and Geryon.
The word orthros in Greek means "morning twilight." His name was also spelt Orthos, after another word meaning "straight" or "height."

In Greek mythology, Orthrus (also called Orthros, Orthos, Orthus, Orth and Orphus)
Story
Orthrus was owned by the three-bodied Titan, Geryon. Orthrus and his master, Eurytion, were charged with guarding Geryon's herd of red cattle in the "sunset" land of Erytheia ("red one"), one of the islands of the Hesperides in the far west of the Mediterranean.
Heracles eventually slew Orthrus, Eurytion, and Geryon, before taking the red cattle to complete his tenth labor.
Symbol
Orthros may have once been represented in the heavens as the constellations Canis Major and Minor, two dogs for the two heads of Orthros. The chief star of Canis Major was Seirius, the dog star, whose dawn rising was thought to bring on the scorching heat of mid-summer. Just as Orthros represented the heat of summer, his mate the Khimaira, may have presided over the frosty chill of winter, with her December rising in the form of Capricorn. However nothing survives of this in any extant collection of Greek star myths. Other sources said that one head of the Orthrus represents the past year and the other head looking into the future.

Episode 1
spoiler
Hidden:
Minami Shinagawa police department’s Detective Haseba Nagisa (Mizukawa Asami) was investigating a suspicious homicide of a female college student, when her undercover operation failed. She was conversely captured by the suspect, accomplice Kumakiri Masaru (Yaotome Hikaru), and the second accomplice. When they were about to shoot her with her own gun, a strange man jumped to Nagisa’s rescue. But when the man’s hand touched one of the juveniles, the juvenile suddenly collapsed and died.
Days later, the man who killed the boy showed up at the Minami Shinagawa police department. High school teacher, Aoi Ryousuke (Nishikido Ryo) confessed: “My hand is the hand of the Devil.” He seemed like a good-willed teacher, but he claimed that he had the power to kill people with a touch of his hand. Aoi did not have enough evidence to prove his own confession and was released, but having witnessed the whole event and the fact that his magical powers had saved her life, Nagisa began investigating Aoi.
Using the clue about the “hand of the Devil,” it lead Nagisa to a mysterious man called Ryuuzaki Shinji (Takizawa Hideaki). Ryuuzaki remains in prison for being the accused criminal of the murder case 10 years ago. Nagisa, who knew all the details regarding this case, asked if Ryuuzaki had the same “hands of the Devil” that Aoi possesses. Upon hearing about Aoi’s “hand of the Devil,” Ryuuzaki tells Nagisa, “Bring that man to me.”
Contrary to Nagisa’s prediction, what kind of astonishing power does Ryuuzaki have?
The two men whom should never meet. Nagisa had unknowingly opened the Pandora’s box…
