Akanishi to star in movie “Bandage”

KAT-TUN member Akanishi Jin will be making his big screen debut with a starring role in a movie titled “BANDAGE.”

The film, set in the early 1990s during Japan’s “band boom” era, will be the first fictional film directed by music producer Kobayashi Takeshi.

In the movie, Akanishi plays Natsu, the leader and vocalist of a 4-member rock band called LANDS. The story follows the ups and downs of the members’ friendship as they aim for fame.

In addition to directing, Kobayashi is producing the film and handling the music. He was chosen as director by Iwai Shunji, who wrote the movie’s script. The pair have worked together before - Kobayashi did the music for Iwai’s “Swallowtail” (1996) and “All About Lily Chou-Chou” (2001), and most recently they are both involved with Kitagawa Eriko’s “Harufuwei.” Kobayashi previously directed the 1995 documentary “es” about the group Mr.Children, but this will be his first time in charge of a movie with actors. As music producer, Kobayashi is planning to write at least five songs to be performed in the movie by LANDS. The songs will likely see a CD release in the future.

Fans will have to wait until 2010 to see the movie, but filming begins on November 3.

    Hello, i guess this is as good of a place as any to post and let you know. I went to subscribe to your RSS feed, and when i clicked it i got an error that said “Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING” followed by other gibberish that scrolled off the screen. I had to force the page to stop loading because it locked up my browser. Cheers.
