“Paradise Kiss” done filming (starring Kitagawa, Mukai)
On Tuesday, Keiko Kitagawa revealed on her blog that she’s done filming Paradise Kiss, the much-anticipated live-action adaptation of Ai Yazawa’s manga of the same name.
Kitagawa thanked everyone involved in the shoot, while adding that her next stop will be the hair salon where she can finally get her hair cut. The shoot had been going on for three months, a fairly long haul for modern Japanese films, so she hasn’t been able to make any changes to her appearance until now.
In addition to Paradise Kiss, Kitagawa also had major roles in “Shikeidai no Elevator” and “Matataki” earlier this year. Combine that with her commercial work and numerous fashion magazine shoots, and she’s barely had any time to rest. And although she’s admitted in recent blog entries that her schedule has been pretty grueling lately, she doesn’t plan on taking a break anytime soon. In fact, she’s already beginning the early preparations for her next project.
“Paradise Kiss” will be released in Japan sometime in May.
