Keisuke Yoshida's Namanatsu - a.k.a. "Nama-natsu" - is scheduled to be screened at the Yubari International Fantastic Film Festival 2006 (Yûbari Kokusai Fantasutikku Eigasai 2006) - "YIFFF" for short - in Hokkaido, Japan on February 24th at 2:45 p.m. (14:45) and 8:30 p.m. (20:30), as well as on February 25th at 7:15 p.m. (19:15).
The principal cast of Namanatsu apparently is as follows: Sola Aoi (Aoi Sora), Yutaka Mishima (PDF file), Ryô Narukami (given name may be "Sayaka", etc.), Ayumi Sakamoto, Kayo Mishima, Satoshi Wada, Tomisaburô Horikoshi, Akihiko Murata, Nahoko Ameku (given name may be "Naoko", etc.), Atsushi Mizuno, Ayako Hirai, Masaya Takahashi, Megumi Hirano, and Chika Uchida.
Here's a description of Namanatsu from the English-language page (see below for link) for the movie on the YIFFF website: "The man has been 'densha otoko' for a long time. It's a love story of a middle-aged man that describes men as eternal fools in more erotic and more affectionate manners than ever before. Sora Aoi, a popular AV actress who stars in TV dramas ("Jo-ou" TX) and movies ("Enjokousai bokumetsu undou jigokuhen", etc), plays a high-school-student heroine whom the middle-aged man pursues.
A dangerous middle-aged man, Masuo (Yutaka Mishima), is in love right now. His love interest is a high school student, Anzu-chan (Sora Aoi), who takes the same commuter train. His one-sided love is just yucky for Anzu....
His now-or-never confession is instantly ignored. What will become of their relationship, which doesn't go anywhere anyway...?"
Aoi previously starred in such movies as Satoshi Torao's Erotic Ghost: Siren (Shin yôjo densetsu: seirên) - a.k.a. "Siren the Erotic Ghost" - Kôsuke Suzuki's Stop the Bitch Campaign Again (Enjo-kôsai bokumetsu undô: jigoku-hen), and Hiroshi Andô's Kôkô kyôshi: shiiku no kôsha; as well, she co-starred with Aoba Kawai, Masashi Endô, and Yumeka Sasaki in Ryôko Yoshida's Love Twisted (Tomoshibi) - part of Euro Space's Eros Bancho Series (Erosu banchô shirîzu).
