るろうに剣心：実写映画 (Rurouni Kenshin live action movie)

[Firestorm]

after seeing the trailers for this I wanna see it even though I don't really know much about Rurouni Kenshin (saw the first few episodes years ago)
the movie just looks good (of course it helps that I'm a fan of Takeru Sato (the actor playing kenshin) ^_^)

[Yukitora]

i Cosplayed kenshin once. you can find it on cosplaylab, under 'yukitora', in retired costumes. One which i would like o redo.

I once cosplayed as a member of the Shinsengumi, but my happi was all wrong. I got a more accurate one now... should do it again sometime... (but alas I no longer own a gi w/ hakama )

The new trailer's been out for several months now, but here it is for those who may not have seen it yet:

It has English subtitles too.

I really like how they've kept Kenshin's "Oro?!" -- I guess making his eyes bulge out or spin around as he says this would've looked ridiculous in live action.

So did anyone get to see this film last Wednesday at the Japanese Film Festival? I couldn't make it.

Anyway, here's the music video for the theme song:

And here's the lyrics:
=========================================
The Beginning, One OK Rock
=========================================
Just give me a reason
to keep my heart beating
Don�t worry it�s safe right here in my arms
As the world falls apart around us
All we can do is hold on hold on
Take my hand and bring me back
I�ll risk everything if it�s for you
a whisper into the night
Telling me it�s not my time and don�t give up
I�ve never stood up before
This timeでも 譲れないもの
握ったこの手は離さない
So Stand up stand up
Just gotta keep it
I wanna wake up wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up 狂おしいほど刹那の艶麗
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
for saying I�ll fight until there is no more
愁いを含んだ閃光眼光は感覚的衝動
Blinded I can�t see the end
so where do I begin
Say not a word I can hear you
The silence between us
なにもないように映ってるだけ
I�ll take this chance and I�ll make it mine
ただ隠せないもの 飾ったように見せかけてる
So Stand up stand up
Just gotta keep it
I wanna wake up wake up
Just tell me how I can
Never give up
悲しみと切なさの艶麗(えんれい)
Just give me a reason
to keep my heart beating
Don�t worry it�s safe right here in my arms
くだけて泣いて咲いて散ったこの思いは
so blinded I can�t see the end
Look how far we�ve made it
The pain I can�t escape it
このままじゃまだ終わらせる事は出来ないでしょ
何度くたばりそうでも朽ち果てようとも
終わりはないさ
so where do I begin
握りしめた 失わぬようにと�
手を広げればこぼれ落ちそうで
失うものなどなかった日々の惰性を捨てて
君を�
Just tell me why baby
They might call me crazy
for saying I�ll fight until there is no more
愁いを含んだ閃光眼光は感覚的衝動
Blinded I can�t see the end
Look how far we�ve made it
The pain I can�t escape it
このままじゃまだ終わらせる事は出来ないでしょ
何度くたばりそうでも朽ち果てようとも
終わりはないさ
It finally begins

We tried to book two weeks ago but it was sold out!!

Been years (a decade?) since I've revisited Kenshin stuff, but the trailer convinced me that this wasn't a silly movie adaption.

Will be catching this early December in the film festival here with a friend from Japan, so excited!
