I will be making a list of movies for Takumi's upcoming movies next year. This year, he had 2 movies shown during the first half of 2019, Jyuni Nin no Shinitai Kodomotachi and Kimi wa Tsukiyo ni Hikarikagayaku. I'm really excited to watch these 2 movies. I started to follow Takumi's movie career since Hidamari no Kanojo in 2013 where I watched the movie even without subs and even made some .gif back then (lol). I am so grateful that he is doing well with movies getting roles--from side characters to leading roles. Kimi no Suizo wo Tabetai seemed to be his most awaited break.
I would like to say this for the nth time that he's a very versatile actor, playing various roles, aside from movies with school/romance setting, he can also act in mystery and more mature roles. (And if I could, Could I ask for more music themed movies?? Please!!! ) I'm really hoping his career in acting will prosper and continue growing and improving his craft (though I would also love to see more DISH//). Actually, he's pretty hardworking and passionate, I hope he's keeping healthy and not overwork himself. Okay, enough with the blabbering, here's the list (I'll include stuff to be released second half of 2019):
