Once the beat settles in, Smith takes over, delivering verses that yearn for that explosion of love and affection (even if sometimes there’s a little pain involved). “Every heart will be broken,” he raps, “But what do we do with the pieces/We’ve got a natural affinity/Natural energy,...

Hikaru Utada’s global 1990’s hit “First Love” which tackles this theme is one of the most successful Japanese pop songs worldwide.

Almost two decades later, Netflix produced a series directly inspired by this song and its 2018 follow up track called “Hatsukoi.” It stars Takeru Satoh, Hikari Mitsushima (“Love Exposure”), as well as Yagi Rikako and Taisei Kido.

The most trending anime series of 2024, Dandadan has proven itself as one of the greatest storylines, and the proof lies in the love and appreciation that the series has been getting from fans.

Even the recently released episode 11 offered a new development that made it a banger. It was filled with humor, anticipation, drama, chase, and feelings. However, what many fans might have failed to notice is that the episode dropped a major easter egg in one of the less significant scenes.

This easter egg is in itself an explanation as to why Dandadan has attained the level of success that it certainly deserves. The Dandadan episode hides its own manga volumes in a small scene that is too difficult to notice. Even the volume count...

Veteran Japanese film producer Muneyuki Kii has assembled a bold new venture to shake up Japan’s traditionally sclerotic and risk-averse approach to movie financing. The executive, formerly a lead producer at Tokyo-based studio Toei, revealed the launch Thursday of K2 Pictures, a mini-studio that aims to bring a more direct, Hollywood-style model of film funding to Japan’s industry.

The new company will launch a content fund — dubbed the “K2P Film Fund I” — to finance both live-action and animated Japanese features. K2P also has lined up an impressive roster of Japanese directors to collaborate with on its first slate, including Palme d’Or winner Hirokazu Kore-eda (Shoplifters), local industry mainstay Takashi Miike (Ichi the Killer, 13 Assassins), Shunji Iwai (Love Letter), Miwa Nishikawa (Sway), Kazuya Shiraishi (The Devil’s Path) and leading anime studio Mappa, known for mega-hits like Jujutsu Kaisen 0 and Attack on Titan.

The woman at the centre of the subtle but cathartic One Fine Morning is cursed by her consciousness. Try as she might, she can’t escape the fact that she’s ultimately alone, trapped in her own head, and tied through her actions to each and every person around her. It’s a torturous existence. Sandra (Léa Seydoux), a young widow, cares for her eight-year-old daughter. She also cares for her father Georg (veteran actor Pascal Greggory), whose sight is mostly gone and whose memory is crumbling away due to a neurodegenerative disease. At work, as a translator, she patiently reinterprets the words of strangers, or guides American World War Two veterans back down the paths of their old traumas.

She has carved up and rationed out every last part of her heart. There’s no more left for her own use, as she’s forced to admit: “I just...

Netflix is giving global fans a sneak peak at its forthcoming Japanese original series Sanctuary, a YA drama set within the reclusive world of Japanese professional sumo wrestling. (See the first teaser trailer and art from the show below.)

Set to launch on Netflix on May 4, the series follows a juvenile delinquent who becomes a sumo apprentice — and soon finds himself on a collision course with a voiceless wrestler carrying a secret.

Netflix describes the show as offering “a gritty look into the underbelly of professional sumo, a world full of young men with ambitions for money, women, fame, and power.”

“This is the story of the sumo ring,” the streamer adds, “where some may find sanctuary with a history of more than 1,500 years in Japan’s traditional culture and as a religious ceremony.”

The series is written by Tomoki Kanazawa (who recently penned the TBS medical drama Get Ready!

Israel’s Reshet 13 is attached to “Dust and Coal,” selected for Series Mania’s Forum Co-Pro Pitching Sessions.

The eight-episode thriller focuses on a Mossad assassin, Esther, whose world collapses when her father reveals to her that she is, in fact, a Syrian sleeper spy. Planted in Israel as a child, as part of a Kgb program, her activation time has come.

Produced by Ronen Ben Tal for Bental Productions Ltd and France’s Morgane Le Moine for First Love, the show was created by Ben Tal, Ron Ninio – who will also direct – Eleanor Sela and Ofer Seker, co-creator of “Uri and Ella”, now airing on HBO Max.

“It’s a dark, realistic psychological drama. The spy arena is just an excuse to explore complex family dynamics and our main character’s journey of emancipation,” says Ben Tal, also promising an insight into the “backstage” of spy missions in Israel.

Willa Fitzgerald played the secretive Emma Lawson in season 6 of Royal Pains, and the actor has portrayed several similar characters in both TV and film. Emma is Evan (Paulo Costanzo) and Hank Lawson's (Mark Feuerstein) half-sibling who is used to lying about her identity and background. The character adds riveting layers to the series and fits right into the affluent Hamptons world where Hank works as a doctor after he loses his New York City emergency room position. The comedy was fairly well-received and also stars Brooke D'Orsay, who is known for starring in Hallmark holiday films such as A Godwink Christmas: Second Chance, First Love.

The same year as her 2014 role in Royal Pains, Willa Fitzgerald played Jenny in one episode of The Following. Shortly afterward, she portrayed the 20-year-old Claire Underwood on House of Cards in two season 6 episodes. The actor's career has followed a similar trajectory...
