The dust hasn't settled from his latest film Ai no Mukidashi/Love Exposure, the four opus featuring a sneak photography king of high school students, a girl named Yoko and a mysterious religious cult, and director Sion Sono is already working on his next film and cast the lead. Once again he is tapping into the world of J-Pop and he has cast Akira from Exile. I don't pretend to know my popular Japanese music so I won't try to feign excitement or familiarity. But as I said this isn't the first time Sion has used a member of a music group. Takahiro Nishijima from the band AAA was cast in Ai no Mukidashi/Love Exposure
I do find the premise of this film very interesting coming from a family that has had a long history with cancer. The story in Chichi to Ko no Kizuna will portray the bond between an ordinary salary man (AKIRA) and his father who is dying of cancer. AKIRA has some previous acting experience with a film and a television series.
chance of this one being 5 hours then?
