Yukari Nunokawa! Kei Mizutani! Nao Eguchi! Trailers for Ryûichi Honda's short "Pussycat Great Missi

The following short was released in Japan on July 3rd of last year; I'm posting this article about it, however, because it's scheduled to be screened at the Fantasia Film Festival in Montréal on Thursday (July 21st), and the page for it on the Fantasia website doesn't provide a link for a trailer for it - or even one for the official website for it. (Of course, such links may well be added as a result of someone's reading this article, as happened in the case of Kazushi Watanabe's Space Police (Supêsu porisu). Hopefully, Fantasia will also correct the erroneous cast list on its page for Kôsuke Suzuki's Stop the Bitch Campaign (Enjo-kôsai bokumetsu undô). Although Ken'ichi Endô was in that movie, Chisato Morishita, "Yasuto Hida" (Yasuhito Hida), and Noboru Iguchi weren't; however, all four of them were in Suzuki's Oppai seijin.)

There's a downloadable trailer for Ryûichi Honda's short "Pussycat Great Mission!" ("Pusshîkyatto daisakusen") here (RealMedia) on the official website for the movie. There's also a smaller downloadable trailer here (RealMedia) on the website of FullMedia K.K. (K.K. FuruMedia) for both it and Honda's short "The Alumna Delinquents" ("Zubekô dôkyûsei"). The principal cast of "Pussycat Great Mission!" was as follows: Kei Mizutani, Nao Eguchi (she was in Takafumi Nagamine's Mask of Kekkou (Kekkô Kamen) and his Mask of Kekkou: The MGF Strikes Back (Kekkô Kamen: Mangurifon no gyakushû)), Yukari Nunokawa, Chiharu Muraishi, Kenji Takayama, Hiroshi Yamamoto (he plays Akira Maeda in Yûdai Yamaguchi's Sakigake!! Cromartie High School - The Movie (Sakigake!! Kuromati Kôkô - The Movie), and was in (Ryûichi) Honda's Watermelon (Wôtâmeron)), Hisao Kanno, and Shinmei Tsuji.

Note that "Pussycat Great Mission!" is being screened at Fantasia as part of its "Japanese Short Films" program. Also included in that program is actress Ryô's directorial debut "Samurai" (2003), which starred Tak Sakaguchi (Sakaguchi Taku) and the late Elisa Fukasawa (Fukasawa Erisa).

Those interested in "Pussycat Great Mission!" may wish to read the ScreenAnarchy articles on (Ryûichi) Honda's Watermelon (Wôtâmeron), his My Wife's Shell (Dappi waifu - peau de mon épouse), Takashi Motoki's P-KAN★couple (Pîkan fûfu), and Tôru Kamei's Double Suicide Elegy (Shinjû erejî).
