A fantastic setting in which the character is reincarnated as the "Oshi no Ko" of the legendary idol Ai, a suspenseful element that does not mind shocking depictions, and an unparalleled innovative story that cuts into the complex world of "entertainment" without hesitation. It created a huge impact and became popular among a wide range of generations. The live-feeling content, which seems to be linked to modern society, has also attracted a lot of attention, and as of January 2024, the comic has sold a total of 15 million copies.
Additionally, the anime aired in 2023 became a hot topic for its extremely faithful story, delicate and beautiful illustrations, and anime-original live scenes. The song "Idol", written by music unit YOASOBI as the anime's opening theme song, has become popular all over the world, largely due to it becoming the first Japanese song to top the US Billboard Global Chart.
In this live-action film adaptation, Sakurai Umin, who has been involved in a wide range of activities such as starting a band and opening a YouTube channel, and also appeared in "VIVANT'' and "Ao Haru Ride Season 1,'' will star, and she will be playing the role of Sakurai, who has been involved in a wide range of activities such as opening a band and a YouTube channel. She plays Aqua, who sneaks into the entertainment world to uncover the truth.
Asuka Saito, who graduated from Nogizaka46 last year, will play the role of Ai, the unwavering center of the idol group "B Komachi" and a legendary idol with a natural brilliance. Aqua's twin sister, Ai, will play the role of Ai, the legendary idol who has a natural brilliance. The role of Dreaming Ruby will be played by Nagisa Saito, a former member of ``=LOVE'' whose mysterious performance in "Tomorrow, I Will Be Someone's Girlfriend'' caused a great response.
Furthermore, the role of Kana Arima, who has been active in the entertainment industry as a child actress since she was young and started her idol career with Ruby, will be played by Nanoka Hara, who has appeared in "Suzume no Tojimari'' and "Dosuru Ieyasu'' since her debut as a child actress in 2009.
The role of Akane Kurokawa, an actress who belongs to "Theatrical Company Lalalai" and who is in love with Aqua, will be played by Mizuki Kayashima, who became a hot topic for her passionate role as a heel in "The Best Teacher 1 Year Later, I Was Lost by a Student", and a popular YouTuber. The role of MEM Cho, who works as a bar and is an idol along with Ruby and Kana, is charismatic and popular among young women, and even participated in the 74th NHK Kouhaku Uta Gassen with her song "Chu, Diversity.'' That one was cast.
Regarding the live-action film adaptation, Aka Akasaka said, "Oshi no Ko" is a work that makes various references to the entertainment world.It also touches on the live-action adaptation of manga works.I don't just say good things.I've also said some critical things.Therefore, I thought that Oshi no Ko would probably never be made into a live-action movie.Under such circumstances, I was asked to make a live-action movie this time. At times, I felt like asking the cast and production team, "Are you sure you're okay?'' .
After that, he asked, "What kind of feelings did people in the real world of the entertainment world have to create a work called Oshi no Ko, which is set in the entertainment world, not from the perspective of a manga artist, but from the real scene of the entertainment industry, and what is the result? I'm very interested in what it is. I'm sure you are too, aren't you? I hope we can find out the answer together."
The live-action adaptation of the manga "Oshi no Ko'' will be released in the winter of 2024, with the drama series being exclusively distributed worldwide on Amazon's Prime Video, and the movie being distributed by Toei. I look forward to further updates in the future.
