Takumi Kitamura ramblings + new dorama!
I've been closely following Takumi Kitamura's new stuff from DISH//'s releases to his movies and doramas. His acting career has blossomed since last year and he is definitely on the rise when he was casted with Oguri Shun in the movie "I Want to Eat Your Pancreas". He has 3 movies for 2017 and an upcoming movie and drama for 2018. When I first saw him in the drama Fallen Angel, I just felt that he got what it takes to be a true actor, very promising. I haven't watched all of his movies, especially the older ones, I find it hard to look for sources (or probably I'm just lazy).
Honestly, I don't want to see him in live action shoujo manga- based movies. Haha. I know he is much more than the cool, pretty lead guys in shoujo stories (but I think it would be nice to see him in one or 2). I'm okay with romance, I remember giggling while watching Hidamari no Kanojo. I'm so happy he is getting good roles with probably good story lines. From his films starting 2013, I am still to watch Suzuki Sensei, Destruction Babies, and Sing My Life and of course the latest ones! He started with not so major roles, so I can see that he is getting there. His 3 movies for 2017 are: 'I Want to Eat Your Pancreas', 'Love and Lies', and 'Tremble All you Want'. I so want to watch these movies now. For 2018, he has 'Over Drive'.
On the latest news, Takumi is included in the cast of a Fuji TV drama with the title, "Tonari no Kazoku wa Aoku Mieru" starting on January 18, 2018, 10 PM. The story revolves around a "family" and their lives, tackles about pregnancy and homosexuality.
Takumi will be playing the role of Aoki, a homosexual who wants to have children. I'm not sure I read it right, but that's it! What a challenging role for him! I'm so excited to see him take on this role. He's still young but he gets to play difficult roles. This will help him grow to be a better and versatile actor. He will be paired with the actor, Misashima Hidekazu.
About DISH//, it's so hard to look for DISH//- related stuff. Like, I only recently saw their music video for I'm Fish which they released months ago. One of the latest news I heard is that they will be providing a song for Gintama.
I'm planning to post some pictures of Takumi later (just to keep this journal running hehehe)
