Cinema Today recently posted an alternate trailer for Hideo Sakaki‘s Yuukai Rhapsody, which will be released by Kadokawa in Japan this Saturday. It’s the exact same length as the original version, but this edit seems faster-paced and less like a plodding TV drama.
The film was originally supposed to be released back in December, but when actor Manabu Oshio was involved in a serious drug scandal (see Tokyograph for details), the drastic, but understandable decision was made to take the time to edit out his scenes. However, these scenes of Oshio as a gangster were ultimately deemed too integral to the film to simply be left out, so Sakaki was forced to take over the role himself due to his history as an actor and the obvious time constraints involved.
The film stars Katsunori Takahashi as a down-and-out ex-con named Hideoyoshi Date with no girlfriend, no money, and no life.
