Action game "Sengoku BASARA" which has been adapted to TV anime and stage play, will be now getting a live action drama adaptation.

The live action drama is titled "Sengoku BASARA -MOONLIGHT PARTY-", and both Hayashi Kento and Takeda Kohei will be taking the lead roles as Date Masamune (Hayashi) and Sanada Yukimura (Takeda). �It was also revealed that GACKT will appear as Oda Nobunaga.

Hayashi commented, "Since the original work is an enthusiastic popular game, and all characters are cool, I was quite nervous, but I will try my best." �Takeda also said, "I've played the game, and thought that it's impossible to make it live action, but I'm starting to get a response as the filming started." GACKT who will be playing the villain, Oda Nobunaga, made the press burst into laughter saying, "It's good that I can play as bad Nobunaga, since my private life would be easier if the public thinks I'm a bad guy. �I'm pretty a good guy in private though."

"Sengoku BASARA -MOONLIGHT PARTY-" will be aired on MBS starting on July 12th at 1:25 am, and will also be aired on BS-TBS starting in September.
