Supporting cast line-up of new movie "Shounen" announced

The supporting cast line-up of new movie "Shounen" starring Matsuzaka Toori had been announced. The story which is based on the same-titled Naoki Award nominee novel by Ishida Ira, features the lead character Morinaka Ryo (Matsuzaka)who is bored with his life as an university student and works without an aim in his part-time job at a bar. One day, his friend from junior high Tajima Shinya who works as a host, brings his customer Midou Shizuka to the bar where Ryo works at. Although Ryo is disinterested in love and women, he accepts the challenge by Shizuka to work at the secret members-only boys' club "Le Club Passion" which she owns. Although Ryo is at a loss as to what to do at first, he gradually comes to realise the depth and strength of the desires hidden in the female customers he comes across and finds meaning in his job as a call boy. In addition, he finds himself falling for Shizuka who is much older than him.


Matobu Sei will be playing the role of Midou Shizuka while Shizuka's daughter Sakura will be played by Tomite Ami. Nishioka Tokuma will play Izumikawa and Enami Kyoko will play an elegant old woman.
