I was watching another drama two days ago, Ooku (大奥 Ōoku). It was really a nice drama, starring Ninomiya Kazunari from Arashi.
The historical science fiction story takes place in an alternate history version of medieval Japan, in which a bizarre disease has dwindled the male population. This has led to a matriarchal society where women outnumber men by 4 to 1. The shogun and de facto ruler of Japan keeps her own harem of men, or Ōoku. The film will adapt the story in the first volume of the manga.
Ninomiya Kazunari will play Hiroyuki Mizuno, the young man rising through the ranks of the Shogunate, while Shibasaki will play Shogun Yoshimune herself. Fuminori Kaneko, a director best known for the live-action Kisarazu Cat's Eye and Ikebukuro West Gate Park television series, is overseeing the Ōoku film project. Natsuko Takahashi scripted the animated television version of another Yoshinaga work, Antique Bakery, before tackling this project.
It's really an interesting movie. Worth watching too. It's based on a comic which is still on-going. Should really watch this movie.
