[JAPAN] Dreams Come True announces “Mirai Yosouzu III”

August 5, 2007 by KNDY

In a recent concert at Sapporo Dome on the 4th, Yoshida Miwa announced to an audience of 40,000 fans that there will be a third “Mirai Yosouzu” and the film is expected for an October 6th release.

Goromi recently posted on J!-ENT earlier this year about the second film. Goromi wrote, “From women in their twenties to women in their forties, they have probably sung Dorikamu’s “Mirai Yosouzu II” at karaoke at least once. The song talks about a young couple who promise each other that they will keep living for the moment and their feelings will never change. Even 18 years after its release date, it is a very popular song that is sung at weddings.”

“Using that pure love story as a base, this fall the movie “Mirai Yosouzu” will be released in theaters. In the fall of 2004, one of Shochiku’s producers, Kobayashi heard the song on the radio and the idea of a movie dawned on him.”

With that, they brought talks with DREAMS COME TRUE about the movie last January and in July the members Yoshida Miwa(41) and Nakamura Masato(48) gave the okay.

“The lead actress would have to portray the main character at various times in her life: in her past (age 20), the present (age 25) and the future (age 30). Because of her maturity and her role as a 26 year old heroine in the Fuji TV drama, “Koi ni Ochitara” when she was only 18 in real life, Matsushita was picked.”

“The male role that would be her boyfriend has not been decided yet and auditions are still being held. The theme songs for the movie will be “Mirai Yosouzu II” and “Mirai Yosouzu”, and Dorikamu’s own Nakamura will be the music supervisor for the movie. “To see a Dorikamu song that I love so much become a movie and the fact that I will be starring in it is like a dream,” said Matsushita.”
