Jun'ya Satô's YAMATO (OTOKO-TACHI NO YAMATO): Ninth 'making of' short

A ninth 'making of' (mekingu) short has been added to the official website for Jun'ya Satô's Yamato (Otoko-tachi no Yamato).

As was previously reported on Twitch, principal photography for Yamato began on March 26 in Hiroshima Prefecture's Mukaishima Town - which, two days later, merged with and into Onomichi City. The budget for the film reportedly is ¥1.5 billion (approx. $14 million U.S.).

Yamato is based on Jun Henmi's non-fiction books Ketteiban otoko-tachi no Yamato (ue) and Ketteiban otoko-tachi no Yamato (shita). Starring in it are Takashi Sorimachi, Shidô Nakamura (Nakamura Shidou), Jundai Yamada (he's also in Su-jin Kim's Dreaming of Light (Garasu no tsukai)), Ken'ichi Matsuyama, Dai Watanabe, Hiromi Sakimoto, Kenta Uchino, Ryô Hashizume (Hashidume Ryou), Kyôka Suzuki (Suzuki Kyouka), and Tatsuya Nakadai.
