Update on Issei Oda's WARAU MIKAERU - a.k.a. "Warau Michael" - w/ Juri Ueno, Megumi Seki, Airi Taira

As was reported here on ScreenAnarchy back on May 25th of last year, there's an official webpage for Issei Oda's live-action Warau Mikaeru (or "Warau Michael", if you prefer back-transliterations) on the website of Albatros K.K. (Arubatorosu K.K.), and there's a production diary (w/ stills) for it on the website of Huis Ten Bosch K.K. (Hausu Ten Bosu K.K.).

Warau Mikaeru is based on the eponymous manga by Izumi Kawahara. It stars Juri Ueno as Fumio Shijô, Megumi Seki as Kazune Saiki, Airi Taira as Yuzuko Sarashina, and Yûsuke Iseya as Kazuomi Shijô. The rest of its principal cast is as follows: Toshinobu Matsuo, Rinko Kikuchi, Brian Davis, Delcea Mihaela Gabriela, Kei Katô, Aimi Satsukawa, Mitsuki Tanimura, Mayu Kitaki, Tomomi Miyashita, Rinako Matsuoka, Satomi Tezuka (Teduka Satomi), Taichirô Hirokawa, and Tokuma Nishioka. Kanako Miyauchi, Nanase Iwai, Erina Hayase, Kimiko Fuchiuchi, Haruka Kudô, Natsuki Okamoto, and Aoi apparently are also in the movie.

Albatros plans to release Warau Mikaeru theatrically in Japan in the summer of this year.

Incidentally, in addition to having directed Warau Mikaeru, Oda was the visual effects supervisor for it.
