Here are some clips from YouTube containing footage of Nihon Chinbotsu which is said to be this summer's blockbuster disaster film. However, it doesn't seem to be creating a storm on the box office charts despite high expectations, considering the budget and stellar lineup. Seems like the main issue about this remake were people who found it not as good as the previous movie made in the 70s especially with regards to the relationship between the lead characters played by Kusanagi Tsuyoshi and Shibasaki Kou. Too little romance? Other than that, the CG disaster scenes received a lot of praise though.
The above clip lasts for more than 6 minutes. What distinguishes this from those available for viewing via the official website is the inclusion of Kusanagi Tsuyoshi. As many of you would have been aware, images of Johnny's artistes are not allowed on the web so for movie or drama trailers, they would usually be edited to omit the JE guys. For those who are fans of Kusanagi, you've got to watch this clip and see how Kusanagi performs as a submarine pilot. Another thing to look out for is Shibasaki Kou with her hair going beyond her waist which is something you won't see in the near future since she has snipped her trademark locks to a short bob since spring this year.
The above is the PV of the theme song, "Keep Holding U" sung by Korean newcomer SunMin and Kubota Toshinobu. The first time when I heard the song, I didn't really have a deep impression of it but once you hear it while watching the footage of the movie, it blends in pretty well with the plot.
Last but not least, the three clips above are from Shin Doumoto Kyoudai on 9 July where SunMin and Kubota made appearances and sang the theme song live in the final segment.
