I only know Hiroshi Tamaki from his role as Chiaki in the live-action adaptation of Nodame Cantabile (and a smaller role in the movie Waterboys)--he's young, attractive, talented, and certainly had many roles before this, but most I've never seen and probably never will be able to see.

I have crushed madly on him for a couple of years now, so I was just excited to see his name pop up in conjunction with an adaptation that will definitely draw interest in certain crowds here in the States--the Vertical translated edition of MW made a big splash among the American comics literati. It's very likely I'll have a chance to see this movie, in some format or another.
