Seiyuu Kana Hanazawa will star in her first live action film Kimi ga Inakucha Dame Nanda, which will open at Theatre Shinjuku in late March 2015. Hanazawa plays the role of An Fuwa, an award-winning children's picture book author who has fallen into a slump.

Tatsuya Murakami, who has directed a music video for Aimer, will direct the film. Aniplex is also enlisting Kenji Kurata, a winner of the 2009 Sundance/NHK International Filmmakers Award, as screenwriter. The cast includes Naoko Watanabe (Yuki Ikenohata in the live action film of Tokyo Daigaku Monogatari), Yukiko Asamori, San Nakamura, Yuki Umoto, Shigemitsu Ogi, and child actress Miku Shimura.

The film's title corresponds with the title of Hanazawa's 8th single, which will be released on February 25, 2015, her 26th birthday.

I was sold at HanaKana, but even the story sounds like something that could be interesting if done well. Looking forward to it!

You know how the last commented topic's title partially gets show on the forum list? I saw "Seiyuu Kana Hanazawa t..." and I was like "to get married?! Brace for the shitstorm!" Actually kind of relieved that's not what's happening haha.

Hope she nails it :)

lol not surprised to see this is another project that Aniplex is behind. They know the modern anike audience so well and how to exploit them its ridiculous. Just throw popular personality x at concept y with some other semi popularish figure z and people will be tripping over themselves to watch it. In this case its Kana Hanazawa. Thats all it takes, instant "masterpiece"and totally winning idea without even need for a trailer. How is her live action acting experience? Who the fuck cares its a popular seiyuu so tat means it must be worth watching right?

I wonder how many people have actually seen a live action J-Drama before. If not I hope they like made for TV movie budgets and brutal overacting. Standards are low among anime fandom anyway so i doubt this matters much to most people.

So she is not only going to spam the anime industry but the live-action one as well?

I hope it fails so she doesn't quit voice acting to prioritize live action.

So selfish!

Might watch if I still remember it by the time it airs, just because a popular seiyuu is going on screen.

So that's why she hasn't been in all the recent anime recently ( seriously she had so many roles in the same seasons )

GL to her.
