How exciting that this movie will be Miyazaki Aoi's first comedic role. I'm really looking forward to seeing the movie when it gets released, especially since Miyazaki Aoi is one of my favorite Japanese actresses. She's been doing such a superb job in Atsu-hime, so it'll be fun to see her in for the first time in a comedy! 9/13/2008, 7:28 am    brad6 Member Global user Registered: 07-2004 Posts: 2266 Quote Re: J-Movie: 少年メリケンサック (Shonen Meriken Sakku) WOW !!!

I'd really like to see Miyazaki Aoi in a role other than Princess Atsu, she's a great actress! 9/23/2009, 5:35 am    Add a reply Link to us   -  Blogs   -  Hall of Honour   -  Chat You are not logged in (login)      11/29/2009, 7:20 am
