　　　 Movie network news(Compile/Ji Zhongpeng) Takayuki Yamada’s new film (directed by Masatoshi Yamaguchi) co-starred with AKB48, a popular beautiful girl, held a limited screening meeting for senior high school students in Tokyo on August 11th. Yamada and Oshima made their debut hand in hand, which attracted high school students to scream with excitement. Oshima, who plays a girl in debt, was asked when the most embarrassing period in her life was. Oshima revealed that when she first joined AKB48, she underwent two operations on her cecum and throat in one year, which greatly reduced her performing activities. "I even feel that I can’t find my place anymore." It shows that during Oshima’s illness, he is at a loss and afraid of future development.

　　　 On the same day, nearly 100 high school students were invited to appear in student uniforms. Seeing the familiar clothing, Oshima envied: "The uniform is really nice!" Oshima said that in AKB48 days, there were not many opportunities to put on students’ uniforms, so seeing the students in uniforms would make her feel very envious. "I must advise my sisters (AKB48) to wear cute uniforms like everyone else." Oshima’s sweet smile filled with healing system drew cheers from the audience.

　　　 At the event site, Yamada and Oshima each "answered questions" for high school students. Facing the boy who wants to be the king of popularity, Yamada’s suggestion is "Before becoming the king of popularity, you must first turn yourself into a person who makes friends around you happy." When she saw a girl who was puzzled about the future, Oshima gave her advice: "Be sure to find an interesting job so that you can be happy every day." Their pertinent suggestions make the students in adolescence feel very intimate.

　　　 The film is based on the comic book of the same name released by popular cartoonist Shôhei Manabe in 2004. In October 2010, the original comic book was remake into a hit Japanese TV series. Yamada plays Ugandao (Takayuki Yamada), the president of an illegal usury company, and through his "cruel and cold-blooded" debt collection from debtors, he depicts the darkness of human nature and the true face behind the usury world. Besides Yamada and Oshima, stars such as Kento Hayashi, Hiromi Sakimoto, Hirofumi Arai and Ichihara Hayato will play important roles.

　　　 The film "Hidden Gold and Ugly Island Jun" will be released in Japan on August 25th, 2012.
