The official website for A Boy and His Samurai (Chonmage Purin) has been overhauled and now includes a new 94-second trailer. The film was directed by Yoshihiro Nakamura (Fish Story, Golden Slumber) for Johnny & Associates subsidiary J Storm.
Based on Gen Araki’s novel “Fushigi no Kuni no Yasubei” (Yasubei in Wonderland), the film stars Ryo Nishikido of the pop group NEWS as Yasubei, a samurai from Edo period Japan who somehow slips forward in time 180 years to the present. Confused by his unfamiliar surroundings, he wanders to the home of a single mother named Hiroko (Rie Tomosaka) and her 6-year-old son Tomoya (Fuku Suzuki). In exchange for allowing him to stay there, Yasubei offers to do work around the house. After making purin (Japanese-style custard) for Tomoya, Yasubei proves he has a knack for preparing sweets and eventually becomes a popular pastry chef.
“A Boy and His Samurai” will be released by J Storm in Japan on July 31, 2010.
