Miike Takashi's new film BLUE FIGHT will be released in January 2025. The cast includes GACKT and former AKB48 member Shinoda Mariko, as well as many actors from Miike's CROWS ZERO. They've been revealing more cast everyday herehttps://x.com/yoakef_jp
>>47686368>Shinoda MarikoI hate this whore
>>47686377Miike is going to make her act a bitch like Becky.
>>47686368>GACKT will be the Last Boss of the movieBased.
>>47686368Today's reveal
>>47686902>first to die
Watched the 1st episode of Densha Otoko. All the normalfags in Train Man's life treat him like shit to the point he attempts suicide but then he logs on to 2ch and all the anons are supporting him and encouraging him to stop being a faggot and get the girl. Really heartwarming and nostalgic. Reminds me of this site at it's best.

Noriyuki went to the stadium where Yasuko was running dressed as Fuwa-chan to fuck with the marathon. Ended up getting on the news with her "thanking him for his support," lmao.https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/9ff799a103638defd278ff48356f19bc1273106aArchives:https://twitcasting.tv/icchy8591/movie/800612832https://twitcasting.tv/icchy8591/movie/800635222https://twitcasting.tv/icchy8591/movie/800646030https://x.com/nohandhuman/status/1830199873972613176
>>47698912Is this the Japanese Chris-chan?
>>47698912I'm surprised they still drew lots of money and lots of viewers (more than last year) after the embezzlement scandal.

>>47702917I hope the Yakuza drama isn't a faithful one.

>>47721935Hyouroku is an excellent actor.
>>47722233He traumatized the showbiz newcomer. Poor girl.
>>47722407I like how she didn't badmouth him excessively when she was alone in the car with her manager. Just general astonishment by his peculiarity.
What new movies are we watching this year? Absolutely lost
>>47722645'Chime', 'Le chemin du serpent', and 'Cloud' by Kurosawa Kiyoshi'Midnight' by Miike Takashi'Mononoke Karakasa' by Nakamura Kenji'The Box Man' by Ishii Gakuryu'Sugu ni Yuku', and 'Transcending Dimensions' by Toyoda Toshiaki'GAME OF SHARK' by Kawasaki Minoru
>>47722529She's cute and showcased the "good girl" vibes. I think she will be used in more tv shows from now on.
>>47722972For a rookie, she handled it perfectly. Also gave us very good reactions. I think she's quite capable.
>>47722233>>47722529>>47723247What's her name?
>>47722972Moriwaki is still the GOAT. I'm surprised she hasn't moved to TV yet.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jv2zSViTMdg
The last time I saw him was in The Great Yokai War: Guardians (2021) by Miike Takashi, and he still looked like a 1st grader, so short and cutesy, even his voice was still kidlike. Puberty is magical. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fbekHsZrJyc

>>47744140Rude fuckers calling him Takeshi and not Kitano-sama!
>>47744140>Kikujiro’s theme song is playing as his entrance theme Based beyond belief
>>47744140I know Kitano at this point doesn't give a shit about awards as he's making films out of pure passion and creativity, but I wish Broken Rage didn't screen out of competition. Seeing the audience so invested while watching it, clapping and laughing hard, it'd have been nice if it competed and won some kinda award. Would have been great for marketing, too (something he also never gave a shit about).
>>47744140>I have been to the Venice International Film Festival many times, but this time the response was one of the top three among all the festivals I attended before. The standing ovation (6 minutes long) was longer than the one for 'HANA-BI' and I think it was the best. Broken Rage” was so un-cinematic and that I wondered if it would be okay to show it here, but the response was great.>>47744236Kitano said 'Broken Rage' was like a test of an idea he had for a parody film, something intended for people watching on tv, not at movie theatres. He said he took it easy while filming it and didn't expect it to be screened in Venice so I doubt he wanted to compete with it. He didn't compete with his grand comeback 'Kubi' last year.
>>47742798What's so good about that
>>47747352Its cuteness.
i love baby assassins but i just watched the first episode of the tv series and holy shit was it boring. cool to see chisato fight more i guess
>>47749441>has a dramaI haven't even watch part 2.
>>47735519>>>>>>>>>>>>>cute
>>47686368>GACKT x MiikeI didn’t know how much I needed this
Yasuko dyed her hair blonde and went from looking like a fat old ugly woman to a fat old ugly tranny. Can you believe she's 26 years old?
>>47759460Stop slandering the thread's oshi
>>47759019GACKT told a story about him and Miike. He always wanted to act in a Miike film, so one day he went to audition for a Miike film, but Miike turned him down. GACKT told him that he really wants to work with him, but Miike again told him to go home. However this time, it was Miike himself who called GACKT and offered him a role in his new film.
Addicted to jdrama recently, list some good releases this year.Is the JP adaptation of SKY Castle kino or typical post-90s jdrama sloppa? How do they even explain what SKY means if it's in the context of Japan kek?
>>47759460Poor girl being milked hard. She barely home and can't even enjoy the money she make.
>>47759570I didn't watch either but jdramas tend to be shorter so they would trim the fat.
>>47759577She's still young, and the smart move is to milk her popularity until she becomes washed. The Fuwachan debacle actually gave her a boost in popularity so more work and more money thanks to the prolonged relevancy.

>>47767252creepy
>>47767266How easy to pull girls like these if you're a white guy?
>>47773730I see another apology from them saying they they are sorry for putting foreigners in a bad light. All in fun but pretty sure a lot of japanese will now assume all americans are troublemakers and thieves.
speaking fo foriegners, what happened to johnny somali?
>>47773730Incredibly based, haven't so hard in a while.
>>47774311*laughed
>>47774194>Implying Japanese people give a fuck about foreignersAnd it wasn't controversial at all. The dude looked like the typical bad guy you see in any Hollywood movie.Actually, the only controversies from this week's episode were them terrifying Nobuko into tears and Kawasaki residents seething about them naming the place where the factory is located, that is Kawasaki Prefecture's industrial part, which is in reality a really dangerous place where immigrants and bad people hang out.

https://news.yahoo.co.jp/articles/06f743137211efe4949fc5f319b7381eb72c7200>"I went to watch a Hanshin game for the first time in a while in last year's Japan Series . I got so excited, I thought it was amazing! I was shouting Chikamoto! and Nakano!, and an office worker three or four rows behind me got mad at me and said, 'You're not in a position to cheer for someone else?' Then the people around me noticed, and before I knew it, they were calling for Watanabe. And they were taking pictures of me." He said that it caused a bit of a commotion. He went on to say, "I went to Koshien to watch it, but now I can't enter the stadium. I don't want to cause any trouble for the game," and went home crying in the bottom of the third inning.lmfao
>>47781784Ruthless
It's not a real rom-com like the one with Yamamoto Maika. He was dead all along.
>>47778091>Womemes' """wrestling"""Netflix should've made a biopic about the creator of wrestling and MMA Mr. Antonio Inoki instead of this garbage.
>>47781784wow, that's a pretty bad translation. gives the wrong impression.
>>47782447well that's what everyone in japan relates to when talking about inoki, or that match with ali, not what he did for westling.
>>47767252>The average /jp/ anon
>>47783551Wrestling itself is obscure in Japan today, it's not like everyone knows who Dump Matsumoto is or what she did for wrestling either. And compared to Inoki, more people know Inoki and what he did for wrestling (both positively and negatively) like his match with Hogan in 1983 and his match with Flair in North Korea in 1995, or the big exodus by wrestlers from NJPW that happened because of him in the mid 80s and the shift to MMA which basically killed wrestling in the 2000s. Besides, Inoki exceeded the wrestling bubble, he was involved in politics, humanitarianism, sports and entertainment, so imho, an Inoki biopic would be more interesting and important than what these dykes did in the 80s.
Dodeskaden was one of the most depressing movie I've ever watched.
>>47785932Dodeskaden is amazing despite the small budget. It's my favorite use of the Kurosawa painted sky effect and all of the domicile sets are so rich and stunning. I heard it was an attempt by Kurosawa to show young filmmakers that they could do a motion picture on a small budget and obtain great final results.
recommend me some good "mature" (not teenagers) jdramas anon? I want something different, I watched some brazilian and turkish shows.

It's sad because it's such a neat little movie. Visually it's amazing and the earliest example of Kurosawa being a genius when it comes to using colors.

>>47789568I binged their YouTube stuff recently and he really seems like a huge asshole desu
>>47789568No wait, it’s for scandal’d celebs who still haven’t made their comeback yet.>>47789586He’s doubling down on his recent scandal by turning it into a character. Watch their video reaction to Soshina making fun of him. Surprisingly, it was well-received and people praised him for making it a comedy instead of seething like Miyasako.
>>47789131>killed his parents in an alleged attempted group suicide after being outed as gayThat’s why he did it?!
>>47792392Yeah he was exposed for sexually harassing his juniors (male) and killings occurred after the article got published. He probably started planning it after they tried to interview him. This also leads to questions about whether it was a group suicide, or a murder-suicide to hide this revelation from his parents.https://www.news-postseven.com/archives/20230518_1870283.htmlNote how the article explicitly tries to not mention the sex of the alleged victims (which isn't normal in Japan for man on woman violence), and how one of the quotes suggests the victims were men:>今日は彼が腕枕要員だったんだなI noticed that the English Wikipedia article for him is actually incorrect about this. The person that wrote the Wikipedia page cited a Variety article that in turn cites the aforementioned Josei Sebun article, but for some reason the Variety article incorrectly states that the Josei Sebun article claimed the victims were women when it did not.https://variety.com/2023/tv/news/japan-kabuki-star-ichikawa-ennosuke-parents-dead-1235625013/tl;dr, see pic related
