Toma's (yet another) new movie!!!
I don't know if you all have been aware of this, but Toma is gonna play a transgender role in a new movie released next Spring.
Here are the details:
➥ Title: 彼らが本気で編む時は (Kareraga honkide amutokokiwa)
The English title is not announced yet, but the literal translation is: "When they knit seriously".
➥ Date of release: Feb. 25, 2017
➥ Director: Ogigami Naoko (female director)
➥ Starring:
* Ikuta Toma(Rinko, Certified care woker, transgender)
* Kiritani Kenta(Makio, Rinko's lover, Tomo's uncle)
* Kakihara Rinka (Tomo, elementary school girl)
➥ Script: Ogigami Naoko
➥ Story: A girl (Tomo) abandoned by her mother one day visits her uncle (Makio). She finds out that her uncle is living with his lover, Rinko. Rinko is ex-male and a transgender. Her job is taking care of elderly people at a nursing centre. Rinko cooks for Tomo and cares for her as her biological mother. Gradually, they've become sort of an unconventional family.
Ogigami-san (director) decided to choose Ikuta Toma because of his beautiful face and his acting ability so far.
Toma's comment:
This is a unique story by Ogigami-san. It is cute, gentle and heart warming at the same time. I want to meet her expectations. She is a frank woman. She says things clearly so I can rely on her. In addition, I feel assured by Kiritani-san. He often praises me. He also encourages me, saying: " It's okay". He is a tolerant person like Makio, someone I want to rely on.
Now that the filming has started, I have realized that this role is very difficult. But it is rare to receive this kind if offer so I have been doing my best.
P.S. Toma plays a female role in this movie except for flashbacks.
There are scenes where Toma cooks and knits.

My personal feelings and thoughts on this news:
- Toma as a girl is something I often visualize (sorry if this is disturbing, but it's true that sometimes you can see his girly gestures and expressions :))) I am glad he accepted this offer :D
- Is this the Japanese version of "The Danish Girl" or something? xD
- Can you believe Toma cooking and knitting? He is famous for being a lazy and gloomy couch potato at home, not being able to cook and do the housework. Can he really do this role? LOL. Just kidding, I know Toma is the kind of actor who wil put his all in the character he is playing, and by that I mean he will LEARN those skills seriously ^^
- We've all seen Toma x Kenta in "Osozaki no Himawari" and I actually think the chemistry between them is quite good. Kenta is very manly, no doubt about that :3 And didn't Toma himself confirm that he feels comfortable with Kiritani-san around? :X
- This is a super duper difficult role, but let's hope Toma will nail it. And in my expectation, he can even stand a chance of getting a nomination for the Japan Academy Prize if this movie works out well!

Yours has better info and Toma's comment about it, too. Your translations were better than the one I found.
I just found out about it this morning, so not too long ago.
