On June 5, it was announced that actor Mukai Osamu (32) will appear in the film "Otoko no Isshou" (directed by Hiroki Ryuichi). The film is set for release next year.

Eikura Nana (26) and Toyokawa Etsushi (52) star in the film, which depicts a mature romance that stems from an unhappy 30-something Tsugumi (played by Eikura) who is courted by 50-something professor Kaieda (played by Toyokawa). Mukai plays Tsugumi's former flame with whom she had an affair, and he throws her relationship with Kaeida into disarray. 

This marks the second time Mukai is working with director Hiroki as he has appeared in "Kiiroi Zou" (released in 2013).

He took on the challenge in a scene in which he exchanges blows with Toyokawa over Eikura. Mukai stated, "Toyokawa-san is much more experienced and who I want to steal a lot of his acting skills from, so I would like to co-star with him again." 

Additionally, it was also announced Ando Sakura (28) will be a part of the film.
