Sun, March 9, 2008 (9:02pm EDT)
Actress Keiko Kitagawa has been chosen as the heroine in the comedy film "Handsome Suit," directed by Tsutomu Hanabusa. The movie is an adaptation of a book by writer Osamu Suzuki.
The story revolves around the unattractive Takuro (Muga Tsukaji), who is the chef and owner of a restaurant. He confesses his love to a beautiful part-time worker (Kitagawa), but she turns him down and leaves the store. However, Takuro later finds a magical suit that transforms him into a good-looking model (Shosuke Tanihara).
Kitagawa and Tanihara previously co-starred in TV Asahi's fall drama series "Mop Girl."
Filming started on the 3rd of this month and is scheduled to continue until early April. Theatrical release is slated for fall.

@nakatsuxashiya I'm currently writing a human-drama type of story (9 episodes in the works) that I plan to submit to NHK or FujiTV for production into a live-action TV series. I'll let you know if it goes through and if it does, it'll be the frst Japanese drama series that will feature Kanjiya Shihori, Kitagawa Keiko and Motokariya Yuika. ;)
Young actress Keiko Kitagawa has been officially confirmed as the female lead in Fuji TV's "Taiyo to Umi no Kyoushitsu." The series stars popular actor Yuji Oda as a teacher at a college prep high school. Kitagawa got her first starring role in TV Asahi's "Mop Girl" last year, and now she will be in the spotlight of Fuji TV's high profile Monday night timeslot. In "Taiyo to Umi Kyoushitsu," she plays a former Miss Todai winner who has just started her career as a teacher. The drama series stars next month.
YES THIS IS A BIG DEAL! *screams* Yuji Oda is like the next best thing to Takuya Kimura (again, scream uncontrollably even if you have no idea who he is)! And the Monday timeslot always sports high profile dramas. So "Taiyo to Umi Kyoushitsu" (which I'm gonna shorten to "Taiyo to Umi" for convenience) is a high school drama and should have about 10 episodes.
