Synopsis: Takayuki's character, who grew up in an orphanage, is invited by some high school friends to work at a seaside bed-and-breakfast. There he meets Erika's character, a street musician who hopes to become a singer but suffers from Xeroderma Pigmentosum - a rare skin disease which means she has to stay out of the sun. Despite this, she faces life positively, and this chance meeting changes both their lives. To give Erika a chance to stand on the stage, Takayuki decides to pick up the music he had forgotten, and the two embark on their first, and possibly last love.
Despite his involvement in an illegitimate child scandal earlier this year, actor Yamada Takayuki's career seems to be going from strength to strength with the news that he has been chosen for the lead role in an adaptation of Naoki Prize-winning author Higashino Keigo's novel "Tegami" (literal translation: "Letter").
Yamada is no stranger to Higashino's work, having just finished starring in a successful television adapation of Higashino's "Byakuyakou" alongside Ayase Haruka. Joining him for "Tegami" are two other rising stars, Tamayama Tetsuji and Sawajiri Erika. Directing is Shono Jiro, who returns to movies for the first time in 16 years after churning out a long string of youth-oriented hit series for television including the Kimuya Takuya vehicle "Beautiful Life".
"Tegami" was serialized in the Mainichi newspaper's Sunday edition between July 2001 and October 2002, Revolving around an exchange of letters between a convicted murderer (Tamayama) doing a 15-year stretch in prison and his younger brother (Yamada) who is forced to take the brunt of society's scorn, the story depicts the outcome of a crime from the perspective of the perpetrator's family.
Filming is already under way, and the finished product will hit theaters next year courtesy of distributors Gaga.
