Horikita, Matsuyama team up with American director

Maki Horikita and Kenichi Matsuyama have been cast as co-stars in a new movie directed by American filmmaker Hans Canosa ("Conversations with Other Women"). Although the movie is being made primarily for the Japanese market, there are plans to have the film screened in the U.S., and some of the dialogue will be in English.

The movie's working Japanese title is "Nakushita Kioku". It is based on the novel "Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac" by American author Gabrielle Zevin, which tells the story of a girl named Naomi who loses the last four years of her memory after falling down a staircase. While Naomi tries to re-establish her identity, she also has to deal with romance in the form of Yuji (Matsuyama), an older schoolmate. (!)

Filming begins this Wednesday. The movie's Japanese premiere is planned for fall 2009, and a U.S. release will hopefully follow in 2010.

YATTA YO MINNA, YATTA!!! :D
I've never thought of pairing Ken'ichi & Maki together as a couple.. GOSH, WHICH GENIUS CAME UP WITH THAT IDEA? :D
I'll wait for this amazing movie with much anticipation. <3

Also, Ken'ichi will be filming for 'Kamui', his first action movie role. He filmed from Nov '07 to Feb '08, but the movie will only be released in 2009. :| Thing is, the scriptwriter of the movie is none other than Kankuro Kudo!! He's the scriptwriter of Ryusei no Kizuna as well. YAY. :) He's well-known for his funny and comedy-type of scripts. Haha, imagine a comedy action movie. o_o

Ken'ichi's also gonna star in another movie called 'Ultra Miracle Love Story'. It's a romance movie of some sorts. It'll open next year as well. Ken'ichi's so busy! Haha.

WE LOVE YOU. :D I hope you'll get to take a break from your hectic schedule today and go fishing or something to destress, haha. :) おたんじょうぶおめでとう! ♥

And today, we spent Ohno's birthday watching.. Suju videos. :(

Fish has just made me love Suju a little more now. Haha. :) I like Eeteuk, Kyuhyun, Sungmin and Eunhyuk a lot, lulz. :D
