Sato Koichi, Yamada Takayuki, Omori Nao join Shinohara Ryoko in new “Unfair” movie
May 18, 2011

Last December, it was revealed that Shinohara Ryoko will be starring in another movie for the popular drama series “Unfair.” On Wednesday, three more main cast members were revealed: Sato Koichi, Yamada Takayuki, and Omori Nao.

The action/suspense series “Unfair” originally aired in 2006, and a movie version called “Unfair the movie” was released in 2007. In the new film, titled “Unfair the answer,” Shinohara will reprise her role as the detective Yukihira Natsumi, and it has been said before that she will finally get closer to the real mastermind behind the incidents up until now.

Sato will play a police detective in Hokkaido who serves as Yukihira’s superior. Yamada has been cast as an ambitious public prosecutor, while Omori’s character is described as a mysterious man.

It was already announced before that main cast members such as Abe Sadao, Kato Masaya, Terajima Susumu, and Kagawa Teruyuki will be returning.

Filming already wrapped up on April 21, and post-production is expected to finish this summer. The movie’s official website has already launched, though it won’t be in theaters until September 17.

Today it was announced that young actress Kitano Kie (20) is going to star in a special drama called “Unfair the special ~Double Meaning / Nijuu Teigi~” on Fuji TV this fall.

“Unfair” was a very popular detective drama starring Shinohara Ryoko (37), and it aired back in 2006. The series also spawned a special drama in the same year and a movie in 2007. On September 17th, the series’ second movie, “Unfair the answer“, will see Shinohara will finally reprise her role as detective ‘Yukihira Natsumi‘. Meanwhile, Kitano will have to prove that she’s a worthy successor to the series in her new role.

Kitano will play ‘Mochizuki Akira‘, a new detective who just transferred to the homicide division that Yukihira left after the events in the original drama. Mochizuki is just as hot-blooded as Yukihira and even boldly goes against her superiors in order to hunt down those behind the mass-kidnapping that’s confounding the police, all while carrying the weight of a trauma from her past.

The young actress always wanted to play a detective and didn’t shy away from action scenes. She commented, “It was difficult to coolly knock down taller guys, but it still was a lot of fun and I even was able to practice sword fighting. I want to become an actress who can also do action scenes.”

She also playfully raved about her senior, “Shinohara Ryoko is just so cool. To be honest, I even copied her hair style (laughs). I want to look like a capable woman with straight black hair.”

Appearing alongside Kitano are Terajima Susumu, Abe Sadao, and Kato Masaya, all three reprising their roles from the original drama. Another new addition to the team, a skilled forensic scientist, will be played by Yamamoto Koji.

Excitedly, Shinohara and her co-actor from the movie, Sato Koichi (50) will also make guest appearances in Kitano’s special drama as well.

Great news! Made a note to look for it.

^^ It aired on Sept. 23rd and has been available for a while now. Not as good as the series but better than the first movie, I'd recommend it if you liked the series.
