The movie will be directed by the controversial and unique Miike Takashi (Sukiyaki Western Django, Crows Zero, Yatterman, Audition, Ichi the Killer, One Missed Call, and around a million of other highly acclaimed works). \(^.^)/

The screenplay will be written by Kudou Kankurou (Ryuusei no Kizuna, Tiger and Dragon, Kisarazu Cat's Eye, and lots of other works).

The main cast of the movie are: Aikawa Sho, Inoue Masahiro, Abe Tsuyoshi and Naka Riisa.

The movie will hit roadshow on May 1, 2010.

I saw this in a recent article on Tokyograph (http://www.tokyograph.com/news/id-5367).

FujiTV is releasing a spin-off drama of its extremely popular drama (about to begin its 2nd season), "Liar Game" (ライアーゲーム), available via Fuji TV On Demand, which is an online pay-per-view / video-on-demand site. The spin-off is called "Liar Game Episode Zero" and is apparently about the two lead characters, set seven years before. Erika Toda's character is played by the young actress Mayuko Fukuda, who was in Death Note 3: L Change The World. Shoda Matsuda's character is played by Furukawa Yuta (4th generation Fuji Syuusuke).

[Takumi-kun Series Soshite Harukaze ni Sasayaite], the BL movie that came out in 2008 starring Yanagishita Tomo as the title character and with Takiguchi Yukihiro, Aiba Hiroki, Makita Tetsuya, and Saitou Yasuka in the cast, is going to be adapted for the stage. (I would LOL so hard if it was a musical, but it doesn't look like it.)

Isogai Ryuuko (Chitose-A) is playing Saki Giichi (played by Katou Keisuke in the movie). Watanabe Kouji (3rdKawamura) will be Akaike Shouzou (played by Takiguchi in the movie). Uenobori Makoto (Yuuji-B) will be playing Nozaki Daisuke (played by Makita in the movie).

The show runs Dec9-13 this year. ^_^

Shiozawa Hidemasa, who played St. Rudolph's strategist Mizuki Hajime in the Prince of Tennis Musicals, appears in the music video for the single 今でも 会いたいよ (performed by Ito Yuna, featuring SPONTANIA).

The single was released on 31 March 2009 (the mode of distribution, according to Wikipedia, was via ringtone websites) and was part of Ito Yuna's 2009 album, Dream (released on 27 May, 2009).
 
The music video itself is now available for viewing on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VO88Wojbhqk

There's an interesting and sizeable shot of him there, with an electric guitar, a half-smoked cigarette between his fingers and a plume of cigarette like a blob of cotton wool obscuring part of his hair.

I wonder if it's the album cover...?

Certainly he's trying to project a grittier image than his looks, his blog design and his blog entries suggest.
