Japanese Movie - 2023

~~ Adapted from the novel series "Takumi-kun Series" (タクミくんシリーズ) by Gotoh Shinobu (ごとうしのぶ )

Okay I feel like I should revisit all the previous five movies and GIF them now. This is a remake of the first one, which holds a special place in my heart. But very interested to see because of how far Japanese BL’s have evolved since way back in 2007.

Takumi-kun Series 6: Nagai Nagai Monogatari no Hajimari no Asa (2023)

On the day of Shido Academy’s entrance exam, Takumi witnesses Gii for the first time--

On the day of Shido Academy’s entrance exam, Gii (Giichi Saki), who stands out in a crowd with his striking presence, walks past Takumi Hayama in the hallway. Takumi is mesmerized by Gii’s exotic, attractive appearance. When school starts, Takumi is treated like a freak by his classmates because of his fear of touching and being touched by other people. But Takumi manages to get by, thanks to Toshihisa Katakura, his only good friend and roommate in the dorm. However, the peaceful days don’t last very long. In the library, third-year student Kei Aso asks Takumi to participate in the campus “shrine hunt” event with him. Izumi Takabayashi, who’s head over heels in love with Gii, and students who idolize Takabayashi start picking on Takumi. When Takabayashi realizes that his beloved Gii not only shrugs him off but is also interested in Takumi the freak, he gets consumed with jealousy and masterminds an attack on Takumi. Spring comes, and Takumi and Gii are now second-year students. They’re assigned to the same room in the dorm, and their relationship gets much closer. Then Takabayashi makes another move and drives Takumi into a corner. Gii realizes Takabayashi’s plot and tries to save Takumi, however… And thus starts Takumi and Gii’s long, long sparkly story.

Introduction: The beginning of Takumi and Gii’s sparkly days

Over 15 years since the first 2007 film adaptation of the Takumi kun Series, a popular “boys’ love” novel series with over 5 million copies in print, a new series has been launched with a new cast and story. The film is a combination of three titles from the Kanzen-ban 1 (omnibus edition) of the original novels—Akatsuki wo Matsumade (tr. Until I Wait for the Dawn), Soshite Harukaze ni Sasayaite (tr. And Then, I Whisper into the Spring Breeze), Nagai Nagai Monogatari no Hajimari no Asa (tr. The Morning of the Beginning of a Long, Long Story ). It portrays Takumi’s encounter with Gii on the day of Shido Academy’s entrance exam and the beginning of their sparkly days.

Takumi Hayama, one of the main characters, is played by Shion Morishita, a new actor stepping into the spotlight in 2023, and Giichi Saki (Gii), the other main character, is played by Daigo Kato, who is a musician as well as a cast member of musicals Touken Ranbu and HYPNOSIS MIC Division Rap Battle Rule the Stage. Other fresh talent in the cast adds vibrance to Shido Academy, namely Satsuki Nakayama of Kamen Rider Zero One as Izumi Takabayashi; Rio Takahashi, who models for magazine MEN’S NON-NO, as Shozo Akaike; Yusuke Noguchi of Hi☆Five as Toshihisa Katakura; Souta Uemura, an actor popular with teenagers, as Michio Yoshizawa; Ryunosuke Nagashima, who performed in HYPNOSIS MIC Division Rap Battle Rule the Stage, as Kei Aso; Kosei Tsubokura from a play called Promise of Wizard as Kenji Suzuki; and Tsubasa Kizu, who acted in the stage adaptation of Tokyo Revengers, as Arata Misu.

Screenwriter Hiroko Kanasugi and Director Kenji Yokoi, the same duo from the previous film who know the Takumi kun Series inside and out, are back together again. With a new screenplay and a new cast, they light the torch to the beginning of a beautiful, sparkly Takumi kun Series.

[ukaiknowsbest]

in my effort to follow news of matsuo shion, toin's main catcher in 2021-2022, i have learned the followng

there are websites that are dedicated to gushing about how cute and handsome they are

there are magazines that talk about them like idols

there are websites dedicated to tracking the history of japanese star players from birth, elementary and middle school school teams (esp if they are part of junior leagues), highschool teams

media hypes up batteries thru different articles, and they often get interviewed.

Batteries that have played with each other since Junior League are the most celebrated.

It's not uncommon to hear "Greatest Battery" epithet from the media or the commentators when referring to certain pairs.

players with big online following can have fancams dedicated to them or their batteries

stuff i learned about shion after summer koshien:

toin members have nicknames/epithets for each other. He was called pauwlonia samurai (coz he was like cool and stable, i think)

people adore his battery with kouhai pitcher Yugo Maeda (who's now the new captain and is was THE super rookie with flaming fastballs)

People were excited when Maeda revealed how Shion told him "Let's have fun till the end of highschool. I'll entertain you."

what an ikemen

personally im gonna miss Osaka Toin's 3rd year battery the most: Kawahara-Shion Battery

and I'm looking forward to Yugo Maeda's captaincy.

.......

Matsuo Shion has been drafted into DeNA baystars as No.1 draft pick in the first round.

Kyoto International’s Ace Morishita is also in the same team. (4th round)

Tomakomai pitcher Saito was also drafted in the first round.

Takamatsu High’s slugger, Shogo Asano is in Yomiuri Giants (1st round).

Seiko’s catcher Yamaasa is in Chunichi Dragons (4th round)

Ohmi’s Yamada Hotaru is in Seibu Lions (5th round)

Shimonoseki Ace Koga is in the Rakuten Development team.

.......

Highlights

Toin

Hoshiko Tenma’s “Minna Daisuki!”

Maruyama doing little jigs when he’s at bat.

Itou posturing and cheekiness.

Kawahara being the most chill.

Osaka getting out on triple play lmao

Mirai Sayama strength and resiliency

Junpei’s awesome fielding in CF
