Mami will follow Yuri, Rika, Wataru and Wao and continue the line of OG's who play male roles. <3

She will play the role of Sakamoto Ryoma in August in Bakumatsu Juunjouden (Bakumatsu Jyunjyoden, "(An Innocent Episode in the Last Days of the Tokugawa Regime") - another shinsengumi-related story.

Sakamoto Ryoma is the opponent of Okita Souji.

The artcicle [livejournal.com profile] sumirepanther linked me to also mentions Japanese dance, I think. ^^

Yay Mami. <3


PS: In the 1991 movie version of Bakumatsu Juunjouden, Okita Souji is a boyish woman.

In a 2003 stage production Okita was played by a woman.

In this 2008 production, Okita is played by Ishihara Satomi - a woman. So... Mami would have the male lead...? ^^


IMDB plot summary of the 1991 movie:
In the last days of the Tokugawa shogunate, there was a cute warrior, Souji Okita, who belonged to the armed police of the shogunate in Kyoto. Very few knew that Souji was not a boy, but a woman. Souji loved the vice-leader of the armed police, Toshizou Hijikata. Souji suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis and coughed up blood during a battle. Toshizou helped her but said that he did not care for the girl with a smell of blood. Souji had a real talent for swordsmanship and no one but Ryouma Sakamoto could compete with her. Ryouma was a liberal intellectual and tried to carry out a revolution without blood. However, the bloody Meiji Restoration broke out and Souji killed Ryouma who lost his dream. Because a friendship had sprung up between Toshizou and Ryouma, Toshizou got angry and slashed at Souji with a sword. Unwillingly, she unsheathed her sword and thought that she might get love if she was killed by the man she loved.


ETA:We are informed that there will be an intense love scene between "Okita Satomi" and "Makoto Ryoma".

I'm starting to think about what to get myself for birthday this year... ~~~~
