Actor Satoshi Tsumabuki (33) will be starring in the movie based on the "legendary baseball team". Vancouver no Asahi (director Yuya Ishii), slated for a December release, is about the next generation of Japanese immigrants in Canada who fought against racism and poverty through baseball in order to inspire and give strength to their fellow immigrants. Joining Tsumabuki are other baseball enthusiasts in the industry such as KAT-TUN's Kazuya Kamenashi (27) and Yusuke Kamiji (34).
The story is based on the actual Japanese-Canadian baseball team "Vancouver Asahi" which existed before the war. They defeated Canadian teams one after another and became a glimmer of hope for the Japanese settlement, and eventually won the favor of the white society.
Tsumabuki plays the role of a Japanese nisei (2nd generation Japanese-Canadian) named Reggie Kasahara, the shortstop of the team who works in a lumbermill. This movie will not be a mere baseball movie but will mostly focus on the drama aspects of the story. The producers' reason for casting Tsumabuki was that they "wanted an actor whom people feel a sense of closeness to, and can easily empathize with". He's the only player in team Asahi who has never played baseball, but he trained hard for the role as the staff said "He was good enough to perform a sidethrow during his first training session."
The rest of the team is made up of talents who have been involved with baseball in one way or another. Former little-league player Kamenashi will be playing the role of the ace pitcher Roy Einishi, while Kamiji who used to be the catcher of the New York Mets' pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka in high school will be portraying Tom Miyake, the team's catcher. 2nd baseman Kei Kitamoto will be played by Ryo Katsuji (27) and 3rd baseman Frank Nojima by Sousuke Ikematsu, both experienced in baseball as well.

- 亀梨抑えて妻ぶき主演なのか。ジャニーズが主演ゆずるなんてめずらしいな。つーか妻ぶきって野球経験あるのか？So Tsumabuki gets the main billing ahead of Kamenashi, huh? It's pretty rare for Johnny's to let someone else have the lead. Does Tsumabuki even have any baseball experience?

Kamiji was a very bright prospect during his senior days, but when Matsuzaka became the ace, Kamiji's elbow was injured, thus limiting his first team appearances. It would've been nice if their timing met nicely.

- 妻夫木って映画コケまくってるのによく毎回主演できるなまたコケるんだろうけどI'm amazed that Tsumabuki still gets to play the main role despite all his movies flopping.
I'm guessing that this is gonna flop too.

- >>7つい最近も広告代理店が舞台の映画に出たばかりだよな、妻夫木聡は妻夫木聡みたいに年に三本四本も映画出てるとプレミア感じもなくなるよな綾瀬はるか、石原さとみ、深田恭子と女優はドラマ映画に酷使するのに妻夫木聡、藤原竜也、松山けんいちといった俳優はＶＩＰ待遇だよな妻夫木聡、藤原竜也、松山けんいちはヒット映画がたまにあるが基本的にこけるよな何でこんなに待遇がいいのか不思議だわSatoshi Tsumabuki was just in a movie that was set in an advertising agency, right?
If you come out in 3 or 4 movies a year like Tsumabuki does then he doesn't feel like this premium actor anymore.
They keep using these actresse like Haruka Ayase, Satomi Ishihara, and Kyoko Fukada in dramas and movies, yet actors like Satoshi Tsumabuki, Tatsuya Fujiwara, and Kenichi Matsuyama get the VIP treatment.
Satoshi Tsumabuki, Tatsuya Fujiwara, and Kenichi Matsuyama may get hits once in a while, but they basically flop.
It's really a mystery to me why they're getting better treatment. - 32: 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2014/02/20 11:04:45 ID:CunUnvI50

- 内容に特に興味もないし多分見ないと思うけどこの経験者を集めた配役っては本当にいいと思うスポーツもので一番悲惨なのがプレーシーン明らかな稚拙さそれが多少改善するだけでも作品は締まると思うよI'm not particularly interested in this and I probably won't watch it, but I seriously think that they did well in casting all these actors experienced in baseball.
The most disappointing thing in sports flicks is the mostly amateur-ish playing scenes.
If that's at least improved then I think the entire thing will become more solid. - 12: 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2014/02/20 08:01:33 ID:Eq4W+ShZO

So someone without baseball experience is the main actor. Well, he's an actor after all, so I guess it'll be fine. - 18: 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2014/02/20 09:20:51 ID:yuakzbSj0
- 私の記憶が確かならば明らかなボールもストライクにされる等、不利な状況にありながら日本人は一切文句を言わずプレーを続ける。そしたら審判に反日の観客からブーイングが巻き起こる事態に発展する。勝つ為に徹底したバント攻撃の作戦で最低から最強のチームになる。If my memory serves me right,
This is about the Japanese who kept on playing without ever complaining, despite all the odds and disadvantages of unfair umpire judgments, like obvious balls being called as strikes. Then the anti-Japanese crowd starts booing the umpire. And with their bunting strategy which they kept throughout in order to win, they went from being the worst team to becoming the best team. - 20: 名無しさん＠恐縮です 2014/02/20 10:06:12 ID:aM2Vn0I3P
