The staff of the live-action film of Ryoko Fukuyama's shōjo manga Anonymous Noise (Fukumenkei Noise) announced on Wednesday that the film has cast Hayato Isomura (Kamen Rider Ghost), Erina Mano (live-action The Next Generation -Patlabor-), and Yōsuke Sugino. Isomura (pictured left below) will play Kuro, Mano (pictured center below) will play Miō, Sugino (pictured right below) will play Haruyoshi.
The previously announced cast includes:
Ayami Nakajō (live-action Lychee Light Club, Setoutsumi) as protagonist Nino
Jun Shison (live-action anohana special's Yukiatsu) as Yuzu (pictured below left) and Yūta Koseki (live-action Donten ni Warau/Laughing Under the Clouds) as Momo (pictured below right)
The movie will premiere on November 25 in Japan.
Kōichirō Miki (Shokubutsu Zukan: Unmei no Koi, Hiroimashita) is directing the film, and he and Rie Yokota (live-action Gokusen) are penning the script. The production began filming in November.
Viz Media licensed the manga for North America, and it describes the story:
A girl who loves to sing, Nino Arisugawa experiences her first heart wrenching goodbye when her beloved childhood friend, Momo, moves away. And after Nino befriends Yuzu, a music composer, she experiences another sad parting! With music as their common ground and only outlet, how will unrequited love play out? Since both boys promised Nino that they will find her one day through her singing, she holds on to that hope and continues to reach out with her voice. Now in high school, Nino serendipitously reunites with Yuzu, but she yearns to see Momo again…
Viz Media will release the first volume in English in March 2017.
The manga is also getting a television anime adaptation.
Fukuyama launched the series in Hakusensha's Hana to Yume magazine in April 2013. Hakusensha published the 11th compiled book volume on December 20.
