Mizuki Yamamoto & Kei Inoo to Star in Film Adaptation of “Peach Girl” | ARAMA! JAPAN

On March 28, it was announced that Mizuki Yamamoto and Hey! Say! JUMP’s Kei Inoo will star in a live action film adaptation of the popular manga “Peach Girl”, which will be released in 2017.  Yamamoto will play the role of Momo Adachi, a former member of the school swimming team who has distinct features of tanned skin and red hair.  Inoo will play the role of Kairi Okayasu, the most popular student in school who becomes interested in Momo.  The original manga is by Miwa Ueda, who has written numerous hit manga such as “Oh! My Darling” and “Papillon -hana to chou-“.

Due to Momo’s appearance, she often gets mistaken as being showy, but she is actually more pure than any other high schooler.  Momo has liked Toji since her middle school days, and the school’s most popular student Kairi becomes interested in this wholehearted girl.  Meanwhile, Momo’s friend Sae Kashiwagi – who tends to want everything that Momo likes – sets numerous traps in an attempt to snatch Toji away from Momo.  Kairi always rescues Momo from Sae’s traps, and he comes to understand Momo more than anyone else.  Who will Momo ultimately choose – frivolous and carefree Kairi or straitlaced Toji?

Yamamoto, who will be starring in a romance movie for the first time, commented, “I was surprised by the setting of her dark skin tone,” she laughed. “I will work hard to act as pure and cute as Momo is in the original manga.  I would like to work together with everyone to make this a cute and exciting movie that can be enjoyed by people who have and haven’t read the manga.”

This will be the first time for Inoo to appear and star in a movie.  He commented, “I’m a little anxious, but I feel more happy and excited.  Since I’m playing the role of a high schooler, I’m looking forward to wearing a school uniform, which I haven’t done in a while.  I’ll work hard to make viewers like Kairi!”

Aya Ueto is Japan's TV commercial queen for the second straight year, according to media research company Nihon Monitor. Ueto, 25, topped the chart by advertising for 13 companies this year. Ueto has been involved in a number of campaigns that have run for more than a year, including those for Softbank's famous Shirato family series in which the paternal figure is played by a white dog, and suit company Aoki. The data suggested that Ueto's high visibility in commercials has made her a familiar face to most of the nation. Actresses held all three of the top positions in the ranking with Saki Aibu, 25, second with appearances in ads for 12 companies this year, and Aoi Miyazaki, 25, coming in third with 11.

Keiko Kitagawa is once again the face that Japanese women want to have

In a survey held by Oricon Japan last month, some 500 Japanese females aged 10 to 50-plus chose the face of the Japanese female celebrity that they want to have the most. Topping the ranking is actress Keiko Kitagawa, who was also the first in last year’s ranking. Here are the top 10 Japanese celebrities whose beauty is most envied among women in Japan. This consecutive win not only marks Kitagawa’s sixth No. 1 place in this ranking that has been running for the 14th time, it is also the first time since 2009 when an actress who is also a mum topped the ranking. That winner 11 years ago was none other than Nanako Matsushima, who is known for starring in the 1998 horror film Ring. Although Kitagawa had just given birth to a girl last September, her beauty remains dazzling as she attended a movie promotion event earlier this month, after her maternity leave. The survey participants have described her looks as “perfect” and “gorgeous”, and even wanted to “live a day with this face”. Had...
