Today it was announced that actor Yutaka Takenouchi will star in a film adaptation of Hiromi Kawakami’s 2006 novel Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Boken (lit. Yukihiko Nishino’s Love and Adventure), directed by Nami Iguchi.
This will be the first feature film for Iguchi in about 5 years, the last one being Don’t Laugh at My Romance starring Hiromi Nagasaku and Kenichi Matsuyama.
In the new film, Takenouchi will play a man who’s uncommonly popular
with the ladies, but always seems to have his heart broken by them in
the end as he continues aimlessly searching for love.
The actresses playing some of the women around “Nishino” are Machiko Ono, Riko Narumi, Fumino Kimura, Tsubasa Honda, Kumiko Aso, Sawako Agawa, and Yurika Nakamura.
Ono plays Nishino’s boss whom he has a relationship with. Narumi and
Kimura will play two people who live next door to Nishino. Honda will
play his former lover. Aso will play a married woman who fell in love
with him 10 years ago. Agawa will play a homemaker who falls for him in a
cooking class. And finally, Nakamura will play a 15-year-old girl who’s
described as an important character in the story.
“Nishino Yukihiko no Koi to Boken” will be released in Japan in February 2014.
