This film also marks actress Tomoko Nakajima's comeback to film. She magnificently portrayed the role of a University professor conducting research on Yukio Mishima, one of Japan's literary masters, while struggling with terminal cancer and gender identity disorder. The film also features the young and handsome Maroka Matsuyama, ex-boyfriend of Japanese diva Ayumi Hamasaki. He is known for co-appearances with a myriad of famous artists and has been touted as one of the most charismatic personalities in the dance world. Other gorgeous-looking actors who are well known in Japan also appear in the many gay love scenes. The style in which the film was shot and abundance of such scenes is a first in Japan and it has been garnering an incredible amount of attention.
Real footage overseen by Director Teranishi himself for the “Tokyo Boys Collection,” one of Japan’s biggest events for music and men’s fashion, will also be included.
In addition, there will be a HumanPictures sponsored commemoration party held before raising of the curtain on August 20, 2014 from 7 PM at “Bonaparte” (443 Saint-Francois-Xavier Montreal [Quebec]).
