The preview video, main visual, theme song information, and supporting cast information for the live-action movie "Yamaguchi-kun wa Badu Nai" based on the original work by Yu Saiki have been released.
``Yamaguchi-kun wa Badu Nai'', which will be released on June 5th, is a youthful love story between Satoshi Shinohara, an ordinary high school girl who dreams of love, and Yamaguchi-kun, a fearful transfer student who speaks in the Kansai dialect. After learning the surprising truth about Yamaguchi-kun, who is rumored to be a yakuza, Satoshi gradually becomes attracted to him. Kyohei Takahashi (Naniwa Danshi) will play the role of Yamaguchi-kun, Hikaru Takahashi will play the role of the heroine Satoshi, and Hiroshi Iwase will play the role of Ishizaki, a handsome boy who has special feelings for Yamaguchi-kun.
The 60-second preview video depicts Satoshi and Yamaguchi-kun suddenly approaching each other. However, a handsome boy named Ishizaki stands between them... A love triangle full of misunderstandings surrounding Yamaguchi-kun is depicted. The main visual features Yamaguchi-kun staring at him with a sharp glare, Satoshi giving him a pure gaze, and Ishizaki following Yamaguchi-kun from behind with a meaningful expression.
The theme song is "Be My Baby," a love song sung by Naniwa Danshi in the Kansai dialect. Regarding the song, which was written specifically for the movie, Takahashi said, ``It's a Naniwa Danshi song, with strong Kansai dialect such as ``Honma Kana Wanwa.'' Since it's the theme song for a romantic movie, I was expecting ``I'm sure there's going to be some exciting lines in the lyrics somewhere,'' but there it is! (LOL) Please pay attention to the exciting lines in the intro.'' The song can also be heard in the preview video.
