Gokusen Movie: Added Cast ~ OGURI SHUN!!!

OMG!!! Oguri Shun will be in Gokusen the Movie!!! OMG! OMG!!! It doesn’t matter if he is only making a short cameo, I’m just SUPER x SUPER excited about this piece of news!!

I sound like I’m a hardcore fan of Gokusen, but honestly speaking, I’ve only watched Gokusen of season 1 dorama. Never followed Gokusen 2 and Gokusen 3, mainly because fearing it may be too repetitive for me. I was really hoping to see Sawada Shin (MatsuJun) in this movie since he was afterall my favorite Yankumi student. But I guess I’m pushing my luck. Oh well, at least they have Uchi (Oguri Shun), Minami (Ishigaki Yuma) and Noda (Narimiya Hiroki) whom are all Yankumi’s students from season 1 . I guess that will move me enough to watch the movie.

With “Gokusen: The Movie” less than a couple months away, a new announcement has revealed that six more actors from the drama’s earlier seasons will be returning, including Shun Oguri and Mocomichi Hayami.

The movie is already known to focus on the cast of the show’s third season, which aired in 2008. It was previously announced that Yuya Takaki, Haruma Miura, and Yuta Tamamori are part of the main cast. At the end of last month, it was also revealed that the second season’s Kazuya Kamenashi was added to the cast.

Now, the number of returning alumni has again increased, adding three students each from the drama’s first two seasons. Oguri will represent the first season, along with Yuma Ishigaki and Hiroki Narimiya. From the second season, Hayami will be joined by Teppei Koike and Keisuke Koide.

Although all six played delinquent students in their respective seasons, they have grown up to become respectable members of society. Together with Kamenashi’s character, who has become a teacher in training, these graduates will lend their support to the beloved teacher “Yankumi,” played by starring actress Yukie Nakama. This movie is said to be Nakama’s last time to take on this role.

Filming for the movie finished on May 13. The picture opens in theaters on July 11.

  1. aiseh… so the movie is on the way and I am yet to start watching any season of Gokusen. Am I eligible to ramble along since I just read the manga version?? hahahah….

    o my, no Shin-kun?? aigo~

    • Wah, you reading the manga is even more awesome! I’ve always wondered whether MatsuJun managed to portray the Sawada Shin from the manga, cause I really liked his character in the drama. Ya lor, no Shin-kun in the Movie. Macam tidak complete pula oh kan?

      • Redge, I think we should read the manga as well :-) But I can’t stand the long hours of reading it online though.

        Found out that in the manga SP Yankumi is finally returning Shin’s feeling. Aww.. that would be so sweet ne. But somehow when I saw the movie trailer, it looks like Odagiri probably taking over Shin’s place, no? Well, just my assumption anyway.

        • Odagiri Joe? Majides? I liked him in Tokyo Tower and all, but then him as Sawada Shin? Huh? If this truly happens I can’t say that I’m not disappointed…

          • Not that Odagiri.. the Gokusen 2 Odagiri :-) Kame’s role as Odagiri Ryu. Correct me if I’m wrong, but supposedly in the manga Shin is the one who comes back as a teacher and not Odagiri. But whoever it is, I’ll accept it with open heart. Although if Shin does make appearance in the movie it would be cool.

            • *tehee* excuse me for my obvious mistake. I didn’t watch season 2, thus, the confusion. hehe.

      • I hope that MatsuJun wont dissapoint me too ^^. anyway, for me.. Shin-kun’s character is a main role in Gokusen beside Yankumi. Gokusen won’t be Gokusen without Sawada Shin (totally in LOVE with that character..><). But then again, I'm just reading the manga. hohoho!!! I'll try to be natural with my expectation (^^!)

  2. OMG!!! This is such a wonderful news to me. Too bad Shin is not in the movie, but it’s good to have Uchi, Noda and Minami on board *luv*. And together with Hyuga, Tsuchiya and Takeda.. And Odagiri. OMG!! I’m super excited. So Yuta Tamamori appears again in the movie eh, I think he’s kinda okay in the Gokusen 3 SP.

    Can’t wait to see the movie. The excitement is killing me.

    Arigatou for the news, and to Nugz too – for the trailer & screencaps.

    Fight-o..oh!

    • Rin-chan dear, just read your text message on my mobile. What’s with putting the blame on my blog and nugz as well? *giggles* Super excited for Gokusen the Movie now that you can die of excitement is it? Oh-ow, do I hear the “fangirl red alert” alarm? LOLS!! I share your sentiment gurl. Although, of course you know that what I’m really waiting for is my dear Genji Takaya in CZII! LOLS!!

      • I am dying with excitement. Can’t wait for July.. of course we will only get to watch it later than the released date *sob*

        And I’m still waiting for CZII too :-)

  3. Loved Season 1 & 2… Season 3 was just blahhhhhh didn’t like the cast at all other then of course Yankumi.Wish Matsujun was in the movie but I’ll take Shun Oguri and Mocomichi too!!!!!

    • I’m eager to see how Uchi’s character turns out to be after ‘graduating’. *Tehee*. excited-excited-EXCITED!! Let’s hope there is a mention of Shin. Just a mention will do, if not a glimpse of him.
