The movie Hamon, based on the Naoki prize winning book will star Yokoyama & Kuranosuke as the main characters

trifectaofje:

Actor Sasaki Kuranosuke (47) and Kanjani8’s Yokoyama Yu (34) will star as the main characters for the movie Hamon (excommunication) to come out in 2017. Based on the best selling book by writer Kurokawa Hiroyuki. Tokyo born Sasaki Kuranosuke will play a yakuza with the worst luck, while Osaka born Yokoyama will play a poor construction consultant, working together for the first time. There will be lots of action and non stop dialogue for non-stop entertainment.

The book is the first in the 疫病神 (god of pestilence) series, it sold more than 100000copies and will now be turned into a movie by director Kobayashi Shoutarou.

The story takes place in Osaka, mad dog yakuza Kuwahara (Sasaki), who ran away with movie investment capital and single unpopular construction consultant Ninomiya (Yokoyama), who’s only talent is talking, will run around Kansai and Makao to recover the money. Halfway through chasing the money they get into trouble together and end up being chased in a do-or-die game. The ‘god of pestilence combi’ will be involved in lots of action.

In order to prepare for the fight scenes Sasaki started getting interested in street fighting. His characters scary face while saying funny dialogue is great! ‘I am really riled up to be in the great and cool original story with the director and Yokoyama.’ he commented.  

For Yokoyama this will be his first starring role in a movie without his bandmates. Yokoyama was fascinated by the original stories overwhelming world view, stating that he would definitely love to be involved. He looks forward to working together with Sasaki, especially looking forward to the ‘boke and tsukomi’ Kansai-like flow.

The producer says that he looks forward to seeing Sasaki playing a yakuza, since he played a feudal lord in his 2014 movie, playing a yakuza was an unexpected choice of role. Yokoyama on the other hand was exactly what he imagined for Ninomiya. He’s looking forward to seeing them act together. Filming is set to start in the latter half of october in Tokyo, Osaka and Makao.

the guest was in a movie where she played a porn actress so she starts talking about how she met some actresses in order to prepare for the role and things just go downhill FAST

featuring: yoko being really interested to know which actresses she met

her saying she watched some videos and yoko going “you mean……..like…….those…….videos…………..of av actresses?” mad awkwardly & getting hit for it

yoko: so like…with what kind of feeling did you watch them?

hina: why did you just look at me after you said that????

guest: well i wanted to see what kind of attitude they had while they were doing it…

yoko: so what kind of attitude did they have?

hina: WHAT DO YOU ACTUALLY WANT TO ASK???

aaaaand then the last bit, she says she didn’t watch the videos all the way through but she watched the interviews with the actresses at the beginning AND THIS PERVY AWKWARD LAUGH RIPPLES THROUGH THE GROUP

“…Ryo didn’t ask sempai to notice him anymore, he just went straight for sempai’s ass. Sempai turned his way, looking rather pissed since they were on air. Ryo was startled for a second, but he didnt feel bad. It was like a guilty pleasure. Yes, a pleasure. Next to him, Subaru-sempai quietly watched the whole thing, but he didn’t react to it at all. Geezz, Ryo never quite understood what Subaru-sempai was thinking most of the time anyway….”
