AKB48 girls and people you've never heard of cast in Koukou Debut movie.

The main cast of the "Koukou Debut" ("High School Debut") movie adaptation was unveiled on Saturday. It was already known in September that the film would star Junpei Mizobata (21) and fashion model Ito Ono (15), but their supporting cast members were not officially announced until now.

Based on Kazune Kawahara's shoujo manga of the same name, the movie tells the story of a young girl named Haruna (Ono) who devoted all of her time to softball during junior high, but decides to change her image and finally have a love life upon entering high school. Mizobata plays an upperclassman named Yoh, one of the most popular boys at the school, and a chance encounter leads to him becoming Haruna's "coach" on becoming attractive. His one condition is that she can't fall in love with him, but she ultimately fails to keep that promise.

Yoh's friend Fumiya is being played by Masaki Suda (17) from "Kamen Rider Double," and Yoh's sister is being played by Rina Aizawa (19). AKB48's Sae Miyazawa (20) plays Haruna's friend Mami, while fellow AKB48 member Yuka Masuda (19) takes on the role of Haruna's softball rival Leona. Rei Okamoto (19) has been cast as Yoh's ex-girlfriend Makoto.

Last but not least, Yoh's friend Yui is being played by Yuki Furukawa (22), who launched his show business career this year when he won the judges' prize in Horipro's special 50th anniversary actor audition. This will be his first appearance in a movie.

"Koukou Debut" is scheduled for theatrical release in spring 2011.

aside from junpei, I'm not really all that familiar with any of the other people. And not to pick on akb48, but i don't think they're gonna act all that well.

Also, i'm a huge fan of the manga.

People I've never heard of ? o_O
I mean, Suda !!! xDDD He's Philip after all ! And Junpei is quite famous (I mean, Akai Ito, or Buzzer Beat)
I'll be watching it fot Junpei and Suda ~~ <3

katsup_404 13th-Nov-2010 08:47 pm (UTC)

Junpei was announced for the movie a while ago though ;)

all the others i don't know, and a lot of them seem to be new to acting (thats the impression i got after dramawiki-ing them all--except for suda)

supershunnie 13th-Nov-2010 08:27 pm (UTC)

SUDA MASAKI I had no clue he was doing a movie :D I'm glad he's getting more work now~

LOOOOL, OP, you're not excited because some AKB48 members are going to act? That's what quite a few of them are better at than singing. So don't knock it till you've tried it. ;D

Regardless, do want this movie, yes I do. :D

*re-reads* OH MY GOD, PHILIP IS GOING TO BE IN THIS MOVIE. YES, DO WANT THIS MOVIE RIGHT NOW. PHIILLLIIIIIIIIIIIP

akb48 is not the only reason ;)

I always get disappointed when I'm unfamiliar with most of the cast list for a movie. I watch a lot of dramas so it rarely happens. i'll be watching this anyway (as a huge fan of the manga, and <3junpei)

Same here.

milestofu 13th-Nov-2010 08:47 pm (UTC)

I totally didn't know there was going to be a movie made.
I remember I read the manga awhile ago and really enjoyed it, definitely going to need to check the movie out! :)

nilla_cakester 13th-Nov-2010 08:51 pm (UTC)

heeeell yeah I wasn't excited for this fucking movie UNTIL I heard Sae and Yuka were all up in it. Sae's actually done a fair amount of acting, and she's not bad, and Yuka's good in that one screwball mini-drama she did so I ain't worried

december_clouds 13th-Nov-2010 08:57 pm (UTC)

YES! I didn't know this movie was coming out. I am EXCITE.

laos7 13th-Nov-2010 09:00 pm (UTC)

Love manga... I hop I'll also love the movie.

shigefan1992 13th-Nov-2010 09:01 pm (UTC)

I didn't know they were making an adaptation! I was hoping for an anime, but this is good too!

I don't know too many of the actors but I'm excited it's being made at all! YAY!
