Satoshi Tsumabuki, Kazuya Kamenashi, and Yusuke Kamiji to star in the movie Vancouver no Asahi 



1: かばほ~るφ ★ 2014/02/20 07:44:53
Actor Satoshi Tsumabuki (33) will be starring in the movie based on the "legendary baseball team". Vancouver no Asahi (director Yuya Ishii), slated for a December release, is about the next generation of Japanese immigrants in Canada who fought against racism and poverty through baseball in order to inspire and give strength to their fellow immigrants. Joining Tsumabuki are other baseball enthusiasts in the industry such as KAT-TUN's Kazuya Kamenashi (27) and Yusuke Kamiji (34).

The story is based on the actual Japanese-Canadian baseball team "Vancouver Asahi" which existed before the war. They defeated Canadian teams one after another and became a glimmer of hope for the Japanese settlement, and eventually won the favor of the white society. 

Tsumabuki plays the role of a Japanese nisei (2nd generation Japanese-Canadian) named Reggie Kasahara, the shortstop of the team who works in a lumbermill. This movie will not be a mere baseball movie but will mostly focus on the drama aspects of the story. The producers' reason for casting Tsumabuki was that they "wanted an actor whom people feel a sense of closeness to, and can easily empathize with". He's the only player in team Asahi who has never played baseball, but he trained hard for the role as the staff said "He was good enough to perform a sidethrow during his first training session."

The rest of the team is made up of talents who have been involved with baseball in one way or another. Former little-league player Kamenashi will be playing the role of the ace pitcher Roy Einishi, while Kamiji who used to be the catcher of the New York Mets' pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka in high school will be portraying Tom Miyake, the team's catcher. 2nd baseman Kei Kitamoto will be played by Ryo Katsuji (27) and 3rd baseman Frank Nojima by Sousuke Ikematsu, both experienced in baseball as well.

亀梨抑えて妻ぶき主演なのか。ジャニーズが主演ゆずるなんてめずらしいな。
つーか妻ぶきって野球経験あるのか?
So Tsumabuki gets the main billing ahead of Kamenashi, huh? It's pretty rare for Johnny's to let someone else have the lead. Does Tsumabuki even have any baseball experience?

メッツの松坂大輔投手(33)と高校時代にバッテリーを組んだ上地

上地はシニア時代から将来性あるいい捕手だったが松坂がエースになるころには
肘故障してレギュラーとして厳しくなって補欠になったんだよな 上手く時代が合えば
よかったのにね
>Kamiji who used to be the catcher of the New York Mets' pitcher Daisuke Matsuzaka in high school

Kamiji was a very bright prospect during his senior days, but when Matsuzaka became the ace, Kamiji's elbow was injured, thus limiting his first team appearances. It would've been nice if their timing met nicely.

肘の故障が無くても補欠だよ。
He was still a sub even without the elbow injury.

妻夫木って映画コケまくってるのによく毎回主演できるな
またコケるんだろうけど
I'm amazed that Tsumabuki still gets to play the main role despite all his movies flopping.
I'm guessing that this is gonna flop too.

つい最近も広告代理店が舞台の映画に出たばかりだよな、妻夫木聡は
妻夫木聡みたいに年に三本四本も映画出てるとプレミア感じもなくなるよな
綾瀬はるか、石原さとみ、深田恭子と女優はドラマ映画に酷使するのに
妻夫木聡、藤原竜也、松山けんいちといった俳優はVIP待遇だよな
妻夫木聡、藤原竜也、松山けんいちはヒット映画がたまにあるが基本的にこけるよな
何でこんなに待遇がいいのか不思議だわ
Satoshi Tsumabuki was just in a movie that was set in an advertising agency, right?
If you come out in 3 or 4 movies a year like Tsumabuki does then he doesn't feel like this premium actor anymore.
They keep using these actresse like Haruka Ayase, Satomi Ishihara, and Kyoko Fukada in dramas and movies, yet actors like Satoshi Tsumabuki, Tatsuya Fujiwara, and Kenichi Matsuyama get the VIP treatment. 
Satoshi Tsumabuki, Tatsuya Fujiwara, and Kenichi Matsuyama may get hits once in a while, but they basically flop.
It's really a mystery to me why they're getting better treatment.

内容に特に興味もないし多分見ないと思うけど
この経験者を集めた配役っては本当にいいと思う

スポーツもので一番悲惨なのがプレーシーン明らかな稚拙さ
それが多少改善するだけでも作品は締まると思うよ
I'm not particularly interested in this and I probably won't watch it, but I seriously think that they did well in casting all these actors experienced in baseball.

The most disappointing thing in sports flicks is the mostly amateur-ish playing scenes.
If that's at least improved then I think the entire thing will become more solid.

上手すぎるの集めたら、未経験者の下手さバレるだろ
But if you gather all these really good ones, then it'd just stand out how bad the non-experienced ones are

歌手やってるのは亀梨と上地くらいだが、主題歌あるならKAT-TUNが歌うんだろうな
Kamenashi and Kamiji are the only ones who sing, but I guess KAT-TUN will be singing the theme song, huh
16: 名無しさん@恐縮です 2014/02/20 08:19:36 ID:K+8uSB0xO
野球未経験が主演かまあ俳優だし大丈夫か
So someone without baseball experience is the main actor. Well, he's an actor after all, so I guess it'll be fine.

私の記憶が確かならば
明らかなボールもストライクにされる等、不利な状況にありながら日本人は一切文句を言わずプレーを続ける。
そしたら審判に反日の観客からブーイングが巻き起こる事態に発展する。
勝つ為に徹底したバント攻撃の作戦で最低から最強のチームになる。
If my memory serves me right, 
This is about the Japanese who kept on playing without ever complaining, despite all the odds and disadvantages of unfair umpire judgments, like obvious balls being called as strikes. Then the anti-Japanese crowd starts booing the umpire. And with their bunting strategy which they kept throughout in order to win, they went from being the worst team to becoming the best team.

芸能界一野球が上手いのは高岡健二、その次は仲村トオルと聞いたんだが本当なんだろうか
I heard that the best baseball player in showbiz is Kenji Takaoka, and next to him is Toru Nakamura. I wonder if that's true.

一茂がタイガースの選手役で主演した「ミスター・ルーキー」という映画があってな・・
当時の阪神現役選手、OBのランディ・バースらが選手役で出演
(掛布は一茂が阪神のユニフォームで主演する事に反発して出演拒否)

東宝配給の大規模公開で4億3000万の大コケw
There was this movie when Kazushige played the role of a Tigers player in the movie Mr. Rookie...
And actual Hanshin players, together with former player Randy Bass, also took part in the movie.
(Kakefu didn't like the thought of seeing Kazushige star in a Hanshin uniform so he declined to take part in it.)

This was funded by Toho, had major fanfare surrounding the opening, but flopped bigtime after earning only 430 million w

It's currently running on Big Comic Superior, but it looks like it will mainly be a match against an American high school. That's what they've been publishing for a long time now.

Oh right, Jun Ikeido's Roosevelt Game will be turned into a drama.
I heard that Hanzawa Naoki's producer will be running the show.

野球映画と言えば台湾の「KANO」が面白そう。
永瀬正敏が監督役で主演。選手役は野球やってる子たち。
When talking about baseball movies, I think Taiwan's KANO looks good.
Masatoshi Nagase's the lead as the coach of the team. The players are kids who play baseball.
