Masahiro Nakai is getting some company from a fellow SMAP member in his next movie. It was announced last year that he would be playing the lead in Katsuo Fukuzawa’s remake of “Watashi wa Kai ni Naritai” (“I Want to Be a Shellfish”), but now it has been revealed that Tsuyoshi Kusanagi is part of the cast.
The story deals with a man (Nakai) unjustly sentenced to death as a war criminal. Kusanagi plays a fellow prisoner awaiting execution. His role is minor, however, and his scenes were shot in two days during March.
