GACKT Official news update. Translation below:

The shocking original has been reproduced with more than 200% the recall!

Saitama, this is how serious we are!!
We’ll shake all of Japan right in the midst of Halloween!?
The shocking visuals are finally released!

The images that are being revealed this time around are those of the 4 main characters played by Nikaido Fumi, GACKT, Iseya Yusuke, and Kyomoto Masaki.

Nikaido Fumi stars as prince charming-like, brave and dignified Dannoura Momomi.
While GACKT stars as Asami Rei, dressed like an aristocrat in purple.
Iseya Yusuke plays an original character in the film, Akutsu Sho, who is a butler with an air of mystery who serves the Tokyo Governor.
And finally, Kyomoto Masaki will be acting as Saitama Duke, the character known as the legendary Saitama citizen in the original work
whose image has been recreated with over 200% of Maya Mineo’s world view, sporting period drama-style white hair and shironuri makeup.

The characters created by Tsuge Isao, the supervisor of character design and costume designer Tsuge Isao,
were so immaculate that even Director Takeuchi Hideki sang praises.
Furthermore, on the copies of the posters have been decorated with dissing lines that the characters say, like
“Saitama citizens, eat the grass on that side too” and “Lame Saitama, stinky Saitama, country bumpkin Saitama”.
With the up-close version, where the characters’ expressions can be seen, and the full-body version that showcases the full image of the character, there are a total of 8 gorgeous posters.

And in this moment when the world is right in the midst of Halloween!
Do step away from the costumed crowds that fill up every nook and cranny, and take a look at the reproduction of the true “world of Maya Mineo”!
Also, please do continue to look forward to the images of the other cast visuals that have yet to be revealed.
