Does anyone know where I could find Tatsuya's very old movie, frozen summer? Thanks in advance! :>

It's been a while since I posted any Tatsuya news here, and seeing as there have been a few inquiries as to what he is up to recently (short answer: a heck of alot)... here ya go~!

UPCOMING PROJECTS:


Snakes and Earrings 蛇にピアス
Role: Gang Member (Cameo)
Official Site: http://hebi.gyao.jp/

As you are probably aware, Tatsuya was one of the cameo roles in this movie by Yukio Ninagawa based on the original novel of the same name. The movie was released to Japanese cinemas on the 20th September 2008, and so far we are still waiting for news of a DVD release...

ZEN 禅
Role: Cameo
Official Site: http://www.zen.sh/

This movie will star Tatsuya's friend Kantarou Nakamura and is directed by Banmei Takahashi. Tatsuya will appear in (another) cameo role and can be seen in the trailer. The movie is based on a novel by Tetsuo Ohtani. As of yet, Tatsuya's character name is unknown.

Musashi 武蔵
Role: Miyamoto Musashi
Official Site: N/A

Still not alot is known about this Stage Production other than Tatsuya will star in it with Oguri Shun. The story, which revolves around the famous swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, was penned by Inoue more than 20 years ago. He had hoped to turn it into a Broadway musical, but the dream was never realized. Three years ago, he worked with Ninagawa for the first time on a different play, and they eventually decided to team up again to take "Musashi" to the stage.

Kaiji
Role: Kaiji Ito
Official Site: N/A

A while ago Tatsuya was spotted filming scenes for this upcoming movie - and nothing was known until an official announcement was made last week. This is another live action movie based on a manga starring Tatsuya (and unfortunately will yet again bring out all of the Tatsuya haters out there... but alas...). The main character of the story. Kaiji is in poverty - he lives by himself in a slum and is constantly in debt. He bides his time by playing cheap gambling games with neighbors, though he always loses. In spite of this, when his life is in danger, he displays a remarkable hidden capacity for gambling, which allows him to endure the hardships he faces in the manga. He is shouldered with a 3,850,000 yen debt at the beginning of the story by a coworker who convinced him into consigning a loan, leaving Kaiji with the full weight of the debt compounded over a year. It is rumoured that this will be made into a series of films, however, more info when I know it!

YAKUZA 3 龍が如く 3
Role: Voice Role
Official Site: http://ryu-ga-gotoku.com/three/

This is the third (technically 4th) in a series of PS3 games titled 'Yazuka' or 'Ryu ga Gotoku'. Tatsuya can be heard voicing a part within the game (I'm not totally sure of the character's name yet). Upon recording the part, he stated: "I have never recorded for a video game before, however, it was a very good and valuable experinece. After reading the script I realised it is of a very high standard and the kind of world that is very rich for the character. Please enjoy this new work!"

Weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee!

A brief review then:
It arrived in a poster tube, which I was not expecting.  I'm used to calendars that are about half this size and double this thickness, so I was worried.  I pulled it out of its tube and unrolled it.

Yes, it is poster size.  73 cm x 52 cm, unless my measurements are off.  One picture to every two months :(  and if you're looking for a place to write down your appointments, this definitely is not it.  The photo takes up easily 2/3 of the page, and the dates are written in discreet Roman letters, English names for months and days of the week.  What appear to be holidays is written in Japanese--I don't know the language well enough to tell you for sure.  So I've got a really fine set of eight posters--six for the months plus cover and back page.

The photos appear to be from the Ima No Ore sessions, but only one seems to be actually taken from the book.  That one happens to be one of my favorites, and it's cleaned up and blown up so well you can nearly read the script in his hand (which itself is in English and includes the words "forty-eight", which makes me wonder).    On his birthday, May 15th, is something written in red 3 something something 30.  Seeing as his birthday is in '82, unless they count things wildly different than they do in Korea and the west then...3 years until I'm 30?.  (Makes note to translate that later).

He's lovely.  I still say a tad underweight but that's his profession, had to lose the weight for Shintokumaru.  Some serious looks, some soulful looks,and one sweetie-pie laughing smile.  It's a good calendar.

Now, how to hang it in my little shoebox so it catches the light just right

---add--- got the light, muddling my way through the birthday note.  Terrible handwriting ;)  It' appears to be "3 /year /later ni ha" (hiragana), then "30" and something that is a vertical line with two crossbars, both through the center.  Kanji dictionary fail...

may i know if tatsuya has upcoming movies or plays or any projects now? please tell...

I was wondering if anyone has bigger versions of the pics below or a link to a clip. 
Thanks in advance.
