On February 21st, KAT-TUN’s Kamenashi Kazuya appeared at a promotional event for his starring movie “Ore Ore (It’s me, It’s me).”
“Ore Ore” is based on Hoshino Tomoyuki’s award-winning novel, and it’s directed by Miki Satoshi (“Jikou Keisatsu”, “Instant Numa”).
The story revolves around an electronics retail store worker named
“Nagano Hitoshi ” (Kamenashi), who becomes involved in a scam called
“ore ore sagi” (* “ore ore sagi” is a kind of scam that is primarily
targeted at the elderly. The scammer calls their target, pretends to be
someone they know, usually their relatives, and asks for money.)
While Hitoshi goes around pretending to be other people, he finds
that “me” starts multiplying, having the same face and personality.
Before long, the elimination of the other “me” begins. In the movie,
Kamenashi plays 33 of “me”, such as a “military enthusiast me”, “big
breasted me”, and “full-body tattoo me”.
Kamenashi commented, “It was like I appeared in every single
scene, and I had to memorize the whole script. It was quite a heavy
experience as I can’t even bring the hard task to remembrance.” He then continued, “I
was always in the middle of costume change, but I was able to utilize
my fast changing clothes skills which I have built up through live
concerts.”
Other than Kamenashi, the director Miki, Uchida Yuki who plays the mysterious heroine named “Sayaka”, and Kase Ryo who plays “Tajima” a sarcastic boss of Hitoshi, appeared at the event.
During the event, it was announced that Kamenashi would have to
challenge himself with 33 missions until the release day. Kamenashi said
while dropping his shoulders, “So you guys are driving me into a corner again.” which had Kase and Uchida taking pity on him.
“Ore Ore” is scheduled for release on May 25th, and KAT-TUN’s song “FACE to Face” has been chosen as its theme song.
The trailer of the movie can be checked on the official site (here).
