Recommended movies starring Ryunosuke Kamiki (2016)

6. “Sun” (16) Director: Yu Irie 129 minutes

Director Yu Irie, who gained attention with ``SR Saitama no Rapper'' (2009) and later directed the hit movie ``22nd Year Confession: I am a Murderer'' (17), directed the movie ``A Strolling Invader'' (17). An ambitious work that attempts to adapt the play of the same name by Tomohiro Maekawa, a playwright from the Ikiume theater company that created the original work. This is a dark fantasy that stands out among Kamiki's filmography.

A fictional Japan where an unknown virus has spread. Humanity is divided into new humans, ``Nokus'', who have overcome the virus but cannot live under the sun, and old humans, ``Curios'', who are controlled by Nokus. A young Curio (Kamiki) who lives in a cold village and admires Nokusu develops a friendship with a young Nokusu (Yuki Furukawa) who comes to the village, but...

In this work, which does not purposely create a unique world view, the high performance of the actors is essential to express the fantasy world view. Kamiki plays the role of the protagonist, who is fragile due to his innocence, in a painfully vivid manner, showing off new abilities. His hair is messy and his face is covered in mud, which is unusual, and Kamiki's passionate performance in the shocking scene, which unfolds in one cut, is shocking.

7. “TOO YOUNG TO DIE!” Die Young” (16) Director: Kankuro Kuto 125 minutes

This is a work that condenses Kamiki's comedic sense as an all-rounder who can play an active role in any genre. In this film, directed and written by Kankuro Kuto, he plays the role of a high school student who dies in an accident without being able to express his feelings to his beloved.

A 17-year-old high school student (Kamiki) gets into an accident on a bus during a school trip and falls into Inferno. The person who appears before him is a demon from Inferno(Tomoya Nagase) who also plays guitar and vocals in a rock band. High school students train hard in Inferno with the aim of reincarnation ``in order to reunite with the person they love.''

Kamiki reigns supreme as the role of Tsukkomi among the intense cast centered around Nagase, who is all red and has ``demon make-up'' on her hair. The exchanges that instantly cut off the physicality of the co-stars bring laughter.

Furthermore, Kamiki's sense of humor in the "boke" part can be seen in the au commercial series. “TOO YOUNG TO DIE! The comparison with ``I'll die young'' is also interesting.

8. “Your Name.” ” (16) Director: Makoto Shinkai 107 minutes

Kamiki is also in demand as a voice actor. He is a representative of Japan, having worked with director Hayao Miyazaki in ``Spirited Away'' (2001) (in addition to this film, he has voiced roles in many Ghibli films) and with director Mamoru Hosoda in ``Summer Wars'' (2009). I have participated in the works of many creators, but the one that remains most memorable throughout Japan is director Makoto Shinkai's historical hit ``Your Name.'' It's probably the main character he played in ``.

A youth fantasy depicting the commotion and adventure that ensues when a high school boy from Tokyo and a high school girl from deep in the mountains of Hida switch places. Director Shinkai's specialty is the extremely realistic depiction of beautiful landscapes, an elegant worldview that incorporates Japanese traditional culture such as waka poetry and folklore, and an excellent script with many surprises. It's a contained masterpiece.

She also has great compatibility with Mone Kamishiraishi, who plays the heroine, and their physical voice acting brings out the heartbreaking love story even more. Kamiki also appeared in the same role in Shinkai's ``Weathering with You'' (2019).
