As for the live-action film project of the manga “Oshi no Ko”, the drama series is currently being distributed exclusively worldwide on Prime Video, and the sequel movie “Oshi no Ko -The Final Act-” will be released on December 20th. It will be released nationwide. It has recently been revealed that Kazunari Ninomiya will be appearing in the film as Hikaru Kamiki, a man shrouded in mystery. In addition, the final trailer for the movie was also unveiled.
“[Oshi no Ko]” is about twins Aqua (Umion Sakurai) and Ruby (Nagisa Saito) who were reincarnated as the children of the legendary idol Ai (Asuka Saito), who have their own feelings about the entertainment industry. This is a work that depicts a story of pushing forward into the world. A peaceful daily life suddenly taken away. In order to find out the real culprit who plotted Ai’s murder, Aqua and her friends use every means possible to advance in the entertainment industry, and what they discover is the existence of Ai’s “biological father,” who was never spoken of during her life.
Episodes 7 and 8 of the drama, which have recently started streaming, depict a scene in which Aqua, who is steadily approaching the truth of Ai’s death, names a person called “Hikaru Kamiki” and burns with a strong desire for revenge. The only clue is that he was also enrolled in the workshop of the theater company that Ai once attended. Is “Hikaru Kamiki” Aqua and Ruby’s father, or is he the real culprit that led to Ai’s death? Everything is shrouded in mystery, but it is certain that he is a person who holds an important key to the story.
It has recently been revealed that Kazunari Ninomiya will be playing the role of Hikaru Kamiki, a mysterious man who could become Aqua and Ruby’s greatest enemy. Ninomiya, a talented actor who has appeared in many popular works and won the Outstanding Leading Actor Award multiple times, including the Japan Academy Award for Best Actor, will be starring in Aqua with a mysterious performance full of madness like never before. Standing in front of them.
Upon appointing Ninomiya, producer Ryusuke Imoto of Toei, who is the person who initiated the planning of this work, said, “Kazunari Ninomiya is the last colleague in the manufacturing process for the live-action Oshinoko.” , he performed Kamiki Hikaru’s “Seiji Lie” carefully and boldly. I will never forget his every performance.”
Ninomiya, who has been a fan of the original work for some time, said, “Of course, there may be a variety of opinions, but I hope that the Oshi no Ko fans who are wondering who will play Kamiki Hikaru will be as positive as possible.” I felt that if I could do something that I would like to see in the future, then there would be a point in me being invited.That’s why I decided to participate,” he says, confessing his enthusiasm for the offer. “All the staff and cast members are participating in the work “Oshi no Ko” with respect.We hope that everyone will enjoy it in their own way.” The already released poster visual has been updated, and Hikaru Kamiki, played by Ninomiya, has an overwhelming presence.
In the final trailer for the movie, which was also released, a tense scene in which Hikaru Kamiki, played by Ninomiya, finally appears in front of Aqua and confronts her directly is shown. Aqua looks stern and talks about revenge, but Kamiki quietly smiles and asks, “Is that for me?” What kind of ending will the two people’s intensely intersecting feelings over Ai lead to the story? And what is the meaning behind the “15-year lie” that emerges at the beginning, and the reason for Aqua’s sobbing at the end?
In addition, Soya Kurokawa, who made his first film appearance in Hirokazu Kore-eda’s “Monster” and won the Newcomer Award at the 66th Blue Ribbon Awards at the age of 14, has been chosen to play Hikaru Kamiki as a boy. I also understood. Kamiki, played by Kurokawa, has a delicate expression tinged with sadness that can be seen in the preview video, and expectations are high for his timeless ensemble with Ninomiya.
