18-year-old Idoling!!! member Erika Yazawa will be turning heads in an unapologetically bizarre new show called The Ancient Dogoo Girl this fall. She stars as an ancient girl who’s revived after 10,000 years to fight evil in modern-day society while capturing the heart of a socially withdrawn teenager named Makoto (Masataka Kubota).
Noboru Iguchi wrote and directed the premiere episode and even makes a cameo in the show. Other directors include Takashi Shimizu (Ju-on) and Ryuta Miyake (Ju-on: Shiroi Rojo), among others. Special models (including Dogoo’s clay bikini!) were provided by Yoshihiro Nishimura and visual effects were handled by Tsuyoshi Kazuno (The Machine Girl, RoboGeisha, et al.)
MBS (Mainichi Broadcasting System) will begin airing “The Ancient Dogoo Girl” on October 7, 2009.
