Yes there is. The newest one with him as the lead is a movie called Shukumei. But it's also not very new. Its was in 2004/05. He played a policeman. Very sexy. Haha.

Meanwhile, as I have mentioned above, he is currently filming the dorama Honey & Clover (unfortunately as a supporting role). (due to release in Jan 08)

He has completed a short mini movie called Gotaisetsu. It was originally a radio dorama, but NHK made a mini 35 mins movie out of it. Kassy is the lead playing a priest. (a very hot priest, in my opinion. haha) This is due to release in Jan 2008 (if I am not wrong)

After Honey & Clover, heard that he will be appearing in a horror movie based on a famous novel. Unsure as to what role he will be playing though. Suppose to release in Summer 2008. (waiting for more news about this)

Also, heard that he will be appearing as a guest appearance (again... but better than nothing) in a movie due to release in spring 2008. He will be playing one of the 8 (or 9) suspects in a murder case. (oh, his brother Shuji will also guest star in this movie)

That's all for now.

oh btw... I have to agree, he got the act and the look... i'm also wondering why he is not appearing much on tv... perhaps he's old already? Or maybe that assault case which happened 3/4 years ago has hurt his reputation badly.
BUT anyway all along, he isn't very popular in Japan itself... in comparison to his popularity outside of Japan especially China and Taiwan.

thanks for all the information.
If you have new information can you post it up for me?
thanks a lot.

No problem! I am more than willing to share the news.

Actually I have been wondering how people are still fans of him now... I'm really tempted to set up a Facebook group for Kassy.

Can you give me more information? Thankyou.

SOrry, just saw this message now.

the story was like this: (this happened in 2003 i think... i cannot really remember)

it was about some car parking issue. Apparently a man was washing his car in the middle of the road or something, and Kassy was trying to park his car. Then I also not very sure what happened exactly. there was some misunderstanding and quarrelled... then apparently Kassy hit the man. He was charged for hitting someone. Luckily he was NOT jailed for that! THanks goodness! He was only fine. I think...

Then, Kassy was very very remorsed for what he had done. His agency opened a press conference then, and Kassy bowed and apologised for his wrongdoings in public in front of all the press. He even shaved his head to show his remorsefulness...

apparently that incident affected him badly as after that his popularity dropped alot and he didn't get many acting opportunities...

sad case.... but well... at least he was remorsed for what he had done... many artists either ran away or got someone to cover for them when they have gotten themselve into trouble with the law.

i only watched the first 15 mins of that movie. Bad subtitles just ruined my mood :shakehead:

the one I watched was good. chinese subs.

the show was good. n i must repeat myself again... his acting was really really good. i was shocked that the lead was him when i first watched it.... cos the role was so different from all those previous roles he has acted....

i think he really matured alot... very very different.

lol i happened to see the post on his band Nowhere, and i actually bought the album called Bawl Out or something. the music is pretty good, as mentioned oasis-style, but the singing.. well... hahaha~ yeah if anyone is interested i probably could upload a couple of them to MU =)

i remembered when he went to Taiwan to open a concert for his band during that time, it was phenomenal...the whole of Taiwan entertainment scene was all crazy over him, they even have like day to day footage or something.... those were the days....

i realise his kinda look is not popular among the japanese. it is nothing to do with the case. because long ago, he was already not that popular in japan compared to overseas. my japanese fren who is the same age as me, don't even know who is he. they prefer the takuya kinda look, i realise.

and oh...

CAN SOMEONE TELL ME WHY IS HE NOT ON THE FEATURED ARTISTS LIST???

sob sob sob...................

I hope you don't mean the black and white one? :sweat:
In my opinion he looks a little bit pale in that pic (with black and white priest outfit).... :bleh:

seriously? even though i like takuya too, but i have to admit dat he isn't as handsome as kassy or cute. For me i think takuya look hot, but juz because of the way he act and his attitude, nothing has to do with his face. talk about handsome and cute is definitely kassy.

Takashi-kun has a westernized look and not the typical japanese one. i dunno if anyone would agree with me but he looked like Eiji Wentz of WaT in Itazura na Kiss... with Takuya-kun, this guy is a legend, he is invunerable
