Another gravure idol in another soccer movie???

by Chris MaGee

Okay... Hold the phone here! First we had word that gravure idol turned Zatoichi the Blind Swordswoman, Haruka Ayase, is going to be starring in "Oppai Bare" about a busty teacher who motivates a high school soccer team to greatness by promising to flash her boobs (which frankly is bad enough), but now Tokyograph is reporting that another gravure idol will be jumping on the soccer/ big boobs bandwagon(?!)

Mari Sakurai is set to make her acting debut in "Juunen Ai (Ten Year Love)", the story of a former female soccer coach who after having slept with the captain of the team loses her job and goes on a downward spiral eventually working in the sex industry while the coach, played by Takuma Sueno, has his own fall from grace and ends up working in a host bar. The two hook up, I'm assuming a decade later, so that Sakurai can motivate the captain's comeback by flashing her boobs if he wins the big game... or wait. That was the Haruka Ayase film! Silly me... Then again Sakurai will be flashing her chest in what will apparently be her first nude scene.

Based on the work of manga artist Ryo Kurashina "Juunen Ai" is being directed by Ataru Ueda, who previously helmed this year's high school action-flick "Kakutoubin 1 Battle Run XX"; but it should not be confused with the early 90's drama series that was also titled "Juunen Ai".

"Juunen Ai" the latest entry into the burgeoning boob-flashing-soccer-film genre is set for release in Japan on November 1st.
