Mana Ashida doesn't look at the script at rehearsals; Director Isao Yukisada: "An actress who possesses wonderful talent"

1: れいおφ ★＠＼(^o^)／：2014/06/16(月) 18:04:25.04 ID:???0.net

Director Isao Yukisada, creator of many hit movies such as Sekai no Chushin de, Ai wo Sakebu and Kita no Zeronen, analyzed the appeal of Mana Ashida, with whom he worked for the first time in the movie Entaku: Kokko, Hitonatsu no Imagine. 

The movie is about an eccentric 3rd grader, Kokko, who lives with her huge family in Osaka, and how her character develops throughout the summer break.

Director Yukisada commented on Mana Ashida: "She's an actress who possesses wonderful talent". "She's got a rich variety of expressions, and the thing that surprised me the most is her passion for acting. During our first script reading session, she came without her script. She's supposed to have the most number of lines compared to anyone, but she never looked at the script. That left such a huge impression". He also noted how Ashida acted as a leader to the other child actors in the cast.

Director Yukisada also takes credit for helping Ryunosuke Kamiki realize his potential in the movie Tooku no Sora ni Kieta. "I can sense this aura of a genius in Ashida which I also sensed when I worked with Kamiki-kun. And the thing that Mana-chan and Kamiki-kun have in common is that both of them love to act".
One cannot help but feel how bright Ashida's future is when seeing her running innocently on screen under Yukisada's guidance.

Takeru Sato and Ryunosuke Kamiki cast for the live action adaptation of Bakuman

1: 三毛猫φ ★＠＼(^o^)／：2014/05/07(水) 07:07:39.74 ID:???0.net

Bakuman, the story of two young boys who dreamed of becoming mangakas and succeeded in doing so, will be making its way to the silver screen in 2015, with Takeru Sato and Ryunosuke Kamiki playing the parts of the two protagonists. Hitoshi Ohne of Moteki fame will be calling the shots.

Bakuman was created by the duo Tsugumi Ohba (writer) and Takeshi Obata (illustrator), the same pair who spawned the hit DEATH NOTE. Bakuman was published in Shuukan Shonen Jump from 2008~2012. Tha manga was a huge hit, having 20 volumes, and sold over 15 million copies. The anime version also lasted for 3 seasons from 2010~2013. Moritaka Mashiro (Saiko), a highschool boy who's a very talented illustrator, was persuaded by the genius Akito Takagi (Shuujin) of the same class, an aspiring manga writer, to form a pair and publish their own manga series. The manga tells the story of this duo as they eventually achieved their dream of running a manga on Shonen Jump and the struggles that come along with it. Sato will be playing the role of Moritaka, while Kamiki will be playing Akito.

Kamiki comments: "I really love the manga and read it so much that I worn out the comic books so I'm thrilled about this". Sato comments: "I will do everything to the best of my ability to convey the history, the reality, and the wonders of Japanese manga and animation to the rest of the world". Director Ohne comments: "I wanted Sato-kun and Kamiki-kun to play the roles, so this is perfect! I myself had to give up my dream of becoming a mangaka when I was in grade school, so I will pass on this dream to Moritaka and Akito, and make it happen in this movie!!"

Anime censorship on TV: Even Doraemon?

1: ケツすべりφ ★：2014/03/11(火) 03:29:04.12 0

(Partial translation)
People have noticed how Shizuka-chan's nude scene was changed in the TV broadcast of the movie Eiga Doraemon -Nobita no himitsu dougu hakubutsukan- on TV Asahi.

The edit was made in the scene where the hyper vacuum cleaner sucked in Shizuka's clothes, including her underwear. Light beam effects were added on these cuts to hide her more sensitive parts.

Anime shown on TV have employed various methods to hide sensitive parts such as one's nipples or crotch area by using light, or steam and such. These censorships are not done on DVD and Blu-ray releases, as well as cable and satellite broadcasts.

Indeed, it is indicated in the broadcasting standards of the Japan Commercial Broadcasters Association that "Full nudity is not to be allowed". But even so, Shizuka-chan's naked bathroom scenes have always been a staple in Doraemon. This movie was shown in cinemas all over the country last year and was seen by countless children. And it was evident that this scene was not vulgar nor would induce any sort of sexual arousal whatsoever.

Keiko Kitagawa forms a special unit with MomoClo Z... "KimoClo Z"

Actress Keiko Kitagawa (27) will be forming a special unit with idol group Momoiro Clover Z for the upcoming Akumuchan Special (NTV, this spring). This unit will be called KimoClo Z.

She will be showcasing her singing and dancing skills for the first time with this drama-only unit. Her image color is "black", and will be wearing the same mini-skirts as these idols who are almost 10 years younger than her. She even joked that "Doing something like this (at 27) may actually be an 'akumu' (nightmare)... but it feels like I came back (to the time of my debut)", citing her acting debut with the TBS live action drama Sailor Moon.

MomoClo hail from Stardust Promotions, the same agency as Kitagawa's, and they have this to say about her: "As expected of the 'STAR' in Stardust, she really is different from the rest!". When asked if she would consider teaming up with MomoClo outside of the drama, Kitagawa says, "I'll think about it if I become the most popular member here", and grins. The other members all panicked and went, "Oh no! Oh no!". Akumuchan will also be having a movie which will be coming to theaters on May 3rd.

Satoshi Tsumabuki, Kazuya Kamenashi, and Yusuke Kamiji to star in the movie Vancouver no Asahi

1: かばほ～るφ ★ 2014/02/20 07:44:53

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.
