This would have to be Yamada Takayuki's most exhausting role to date. Running in and out of fire in extremely high temperatures, carrying 50kg dummies running, etc. Director had very high standards and schedule ran behind a lot of the time. Poor Yamada hardly got any sleep during the 3-4 months of shooting. It's most action packed drama I've ever seen.
highly recommended!!

Great cast, performance, music, directing, etc etc...
From a bestsellling novel to the movie then to the drama. This drama version supasses the movie version by ten miles. It has set a whole new standards for "PURE LOVE" type dramas. Like the name suggest "Crying out for Love, in the centre of the world" and that is where the story starts. Saku is standing in the middle of the world - Ayers rock. This was actually what they first shot. His opening performance is superb. The story cleverly switches back & fourth, from past to present thanks to the director. He called the two main leads "Acting Angels", able to laugh one moment and scream cry the next. ...
They've just announced that they would stage this as a musical. Wonder who would be the leads now?!
