Actress Mao Inoue (22) is teaming up with actor Jonathan Sherr (35) for a movie adaptation of the manga series "Darling wa Gaikokujin" ("My Darling is a Foreigner").
The original comics, written by mangaka Saori Oguri (42), depict her experiences throughout her relationship with her husband, American journalist Tony Laszlo (48). The manga began publication in 2002 and has sold more than 2 million copies of its four volumes released so far. The latest one, which covered the birth of their son, was published last year.
Filming is already in progress. The official website has opened, though few details are available. Theatrical release is set for spring 2010.

Starting in April actress Inoue Mao (23) is going to appear in a new commercial for Glico's gelato ice brand "Ice no Mi" (Iced Fruit).
The TV commercial with the title "Get on the Bus" features Inoue dancing along the sidewalk next to a bus with 24 other women. She's wearing a springlike outfit with vibrant colors such as yellow and pink. The dance itself has a very unique and difficult choreography to express her excitement when eating the ice. It was choreographed by MIKIKO who produced the majority of the dances of electro-pop-idol group Perfume. Apparently Inoue mastered the dance in just one hour of practice right before the filming and MIKIKO even praised it to be perfect.
We will be able to see the result of her short lesson starting on April 01.

"My Darling is a Foreigner" starring Inoue Mao (23) opened today and the cast attended a stage greeting at the Toho Cinema in Roppongi, Tokyo. The movie is based on a popular manga by the same name and describes the daily life of a Japanese woman her American boyfriend.
In the original story you are able to follow the couple until the birth of their first child. The movie doesn't go that far, but the director mentioned that he would love to continue the story with Inoue. She smiled and replied, "It all depends on the success of this movie and you, the audience." Her reaction showed that she would like to film a sequel as well. Now it's the job of the people to make this movie successful enough for that to actually happen.
The story is about the Japanese woman Saori (Inoue) and American man Tony (Jonathan Sherr). First full of conflicts and cultural differences, the two of them soon start to love each other and eventually advance to marriage. She begins to refer to him as "darling", a term not very often used by Japanese and repeatedly the cause for some funny moments throughout the movie.
About marrying a foreigner herself, Inoue said: "I think that would be nice." Further she added: "I always thought and still think that I'm someone with little prospects of getting married, but I would really like to run into a great partner soon and live a life as a married couple."

Mao was great tonight as host of Kouhaku...she cried tears of joy when the Red team (the ladies) won and was hugging everyone in sight...... :deco:
Youkame no Semi does seem to be a good movie. I already have the raw but without English subtitles, I'm afraid I won't watch it until one comes out.Yeah, for sure, dialogue will be key to understand the film, I will need subs as well.
