Trailer for Taichi's EKO EKO AZARAK: R-PAGE and EKO EKO AZARAK: B-PAGE

A trailer for both Taichi's Eko Eko Azarak: R-Page (Eko eko azaraku: R-page) - a.k.a. "Eko Eko Azarak V" - and his Eko Eko Azarak: B-Page (Eko eko azaraku: B-page) - a.k.a. "Eko Eko Azarak VI" - has just been added to the official website for the movies.

The screenplays for both Eko Eko Azarak: R-Page and Eko Eko Azarak: B-Page were written by Taichi and Hiromitsu Amano, based on the manga serial "Eko eko azaraku" by Shin'ichi Koga. ("Eko eko azaraku" was originally serialized in Weekly Shonen Champion (Shûkan shônen chanpion).) Eko Eko Azarak: R-Page stars Narumi Konno, Yûko Itô, Mitsuki Koga, Nana Yanagisawa, Shion Umezawa, Daizô Niizuma (Niiduma Daizô), Seminosuke Murasugi (12th from the top), Kazuki Nanase, Izam, and Eisuke Sasai. Eko Eko Azarak: B-Page stars (Narumi) Konno, Rina Takagi, Rina Akiyama, (Nana) Yanagisawa, (Shion) Umezawa, Hironobu Nomura, (Seminosuke) Murasugi, (Kazuki) Nanase, Ayano Tachibana, Risa Machi, Hiroyuki Hakamada, Takayuki Godai, Izam, and (Eisuke) Sasai.

Art Port K.K. (K.K. Âto Pôto) and Avex Entertainment Inc. (Eibekkusu Entateinmento K.K.) are scheduled to release Eko Eko Azarak: R-Page theatrically in Japan on December 16th, and Eko Eko Azarak: B-Page theatrically there on December 30th.

For more information on Eko Eko Azarak: R-Page and Eko Eko Azarak: B-Page, see Twitch's third, second, and first articles on them.

Taichi's previous directing credits include Death Make - one of the movies in the Kazuo Umezu's Horror Theater (Umezu Kazuo: kyôfu gekijô) hexalogy. (Note: Although a number of sources - see, for example, the Kazuo Umezu's Horror Theater hexalogy trailer linked to below - credit the director in question as "Taiichi", I'm now deferring to the Media Blasters Inc. DVD release of Death Make, which credits him as "Taichi".)
