Trailer and Visual for “Funohan” Starring Tori Matsuzaka and Erika Sawajiri Released

It has been revealed that that upcoming film “Funohan“, starring Tori Matsuzaka and Erika Sawajiri, will be released February 1, 2018.

Based on the manga series “Funohan” written by Arata Miyatsuki and illustrated by Yuya Kanzaki , the story follows Tadashi Usobuki (Tori Matsuzaka), a mysterious contract killer—the man in the black suit—who carries out his work using methods such as the power of suggestion, which makes his killings nearly impossible to trace.

Originally male in the source material and made a “boyish woman” for the adaptation, Sawajiri’s character Tomoki Tada is an investigator who attempts to track down the mysterious man in black.

Along with the release date, distributor Showgate has also released a visual (pictured above) and a 30-second trailer to their YouTube Channel.

Dean Fujioka & Emi Takei to Co-Star NTV Fall Drama “Ima kara Anata wo Kyouhaku Shimasu”

It has been revealed that actors Dean Fujioka and Emi Takei will co-star upcoming NTV Fall Drama “Ima kara Anata wo Kyouhaku Shimasu“.

Based on 2016 light novel “Ima kara Anata wo Kyouhaku Shimasu” by author Namiya Fujiishi, the upcoming film adaptation focuses on Kanji Senkawa (Fujioka), who takes on jobs that police and private investigators can’t handle by finding people’s weaknesses and manipulating them with threatening words. Senkawa meets well-off university student Mio Kanesaka (Takei), who often finds herself getting between the predicaments of complete strangers, and they get involved in various cases.

Woman sleeps with Hey! Say! JUMP member Keito Okamoto, leaks photo of him in bed!

It seems like Hey! Say! JUMP member Keito Okamoto is paying the price for having a one night stand. A picture of him in bed was exclusively released by the tabloid “Shukan Josei” in their latest issue.

The incident appears to have taken place when Keito was at Sophia University, one of the top private universities in Japan. The woman who slept with Keito claimed that she went out drinking with some friends who attended the university, but was shocked when Keito was there with them. One thing led to another and she was eventually invited back to his house. The evening had a rough start since the AC in his apartment was broken resulting in a premature hot and sticky night.

She went into further detail mentioning how at first they started to watch TV in bed before eventually doing the deed. The woman further claimed that her throat was dry due to the events that took place, so she rewarded herself by drinking his expensive fruit juice without permission. Overall her experience was at least positive, describing him as a “gentleman”.

Unfortunately for Keito, this isn’t his first time in the tabloids. Back in August 2013 photos of him acting lovey-dovey with actress Kasumi Arimura were published in FRIDAY magazine, but those were nothing compared to one in Shukan Josei. Despite that, it’s very unlikely that his agency Johnny & Associates will even acknowledge the scandal.

The picture of Keito in bed along with some netizen comments can be seen below!
