A special promotional poster for Kensaku Sawada's "Saiyuki" (opening July 14) has been rolled out in theaters across Japan. The poster, however, features a fake cast and is labeled with the title "Saiyugi" (the final kanji has been replaced with one that roughly means "joke").

The fake cast features Kiyotaka Nanbara (of Uchan Nanchan) as Son Goku, Tsuyoshi Kusanagi as Sa Gojo, Hiroshi Neko as Cho Hakkai, and Kumi Koda as Tripitaka (Sanzo Hoshi). The team was gathered in secret last December.

The poster contains several other parts parodying the real film, including UFOs in the background and changes to the credits and tagline.
