Akimoto Sayaka and Hongo Kanata to co-star in Doreiku (Slave District)Akimoto Sayaka and Hongo Kanata will co-star in (Doreiku -Boku to 23 nin no derei-” directed by Sato Sakichi.The original novel by Okada Shinichi is the story about a device called SCM which can turn people into a slave for the winner when they lost the game. It’s the battle of psychology, intellect and cheating. The movie might contain murder, slavery, SM and sex scenes.Sayaka plays Arakawa Eia, who’s always playing around and toying with romances but she never really gets into anything. A cold person who is uninterested in everything. Sayaka said “The word ‘slave’ is not something common in our daily life, but after watching this movie, I think there will be something stirring up inside everybody.” “I watched Mitsu Dan’s ‘Watashi no Dorei ni narinasai’ and thought I want to have a slave, and want to be a slave as well. And here this movie came.”Hongo Kanata plays Oda Yuga, a smooth talker, smart and lively boy, who is falling in love with his older sister Eia. But when he comes to know the darkness of the slave game, the boy soon changes to an insane character. Talking about the movie, Kanata said “The relationship between Eia and Yuga, and how the master-and-slave relationship changes constantly is really interesting. There are also a lot of characters with rich personalities, this will be a movie that everybody can enjoy.” About Sayaka, “Akimoto-san is really cool. In a good way, she’s very manly.”Director Sato Sakichi wanted “someone who looks like she’s not coming from this ordinary fleeting world” and Sayaka was chosen to be the main character.
