The film RYUJI Ryuji, starring Yuya Yagira and releasing October 30, dropped its third installment of character PVs on August 29. Ken Miyake plays Kazu, Ryuji's sworn brother, and RYUKI of MAZZEL plays Miyanchi, a man holding a grudge against Ryuji. The PVs show Kazu crying out for help and Miyanchi confronting Ryuji in a coffee shop, his split mouth bleeding. The film is a remake of the 1983 Ryuji, whose lead actor and screenwriter Masatsugu Kaneko died eight days after its release.
The third and final set of character PVs for RYUJI Ryuji pairs Ken Miyake's Kazu against RYUKI's Miyanchi. Kazu, Ryuji's sworn brother, is shown breaking down with the cry "Help me, Ryuji," a sign the story is about to take a sharp turn.
Miyanchi's clip is more menacing. He spots Ryuji in a coffee shop and locks eyes with him, his mouth split open and blood dripping to his collar. Chihara Junior also appears as Shirai, Miyanchi's senior associate, who tells Ryuji with an eerie smile, "Seems our Miyanchi was taken good care of."
The film, a remake of the 1983 Ryuji, opens October 30 with Yuya Yagira in the lead role.
