「今日、恋をはじめます」
We have just awakened to a new role to be play by Nishiuchi Mariya (Mariya) this coming December, today once again we were surprised that Emi Takei is going to star in the live-action adaption of the best-selling manga [Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu] as Hibino Tsubaki!
In this movie, Emi going to play the role of ‘Hibino Tsubaki’, a senior high school student who strongly believe in old customs such as keeping your virginity until marriage and has no confidence in dressing herself fashionable. However, her first kiss gets stolen by ‘Tsubaki Kyouta’ play by Matsuzaka Tori , a typical playboy who often teases her for being old-fashioned.
The manga is immensely popular among female high school students, who often call it their ‘love bible’. Even Takei is said to be a big fan of the manga and didn’t hesitate at all when she received the offer for the live-action adaption, which is going to mark her first starring role in a movie.
Based on Tokyohive, Emi commented, “‘Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu’ is like the only popular girls’ manga that hasn’t been adapted into a movie yet. I’m already happy enough that it is finally being adapted, but to actually being able to play the protagonist is a really big honor for me.” She continued, “I’m going to start 2012 with this very precious project and I’d like to exert myself with the utmost effort in order to create a beautiful and enjoyable love story for everyone.”
We totally gonna LOVE this movie although in this movie there will a kiss scene between our Emi and Tori. But we know that he is such a great actor and will successfully play his role as ‘Tsubaki Kyouta’.
A release date for “Kyou, Koi wo Hajimemasu” has yet to be announced, but it’s supposed to open sometime in 2012.
がんばろう咲！
