The Nankai MER team is coming back to the big screen. Yosuke Eguchi, Mahiro Takasugi, Meru Nukumi, and Emma Miyazawa will reprise their roles as the offshore medical unit in the third theatrical film of the Tokyo MER series, titled Tokyo MER: Capital Crisis. The film opens August 21.
Eguchi's character, Dr. Hidemi Makishi, references a promise made with the Tokyo MER chief Kitami (Ryohei Suzuki) and Natsumi (Nanao) in the previous film: that Nankai MER would come if Tokyo ever needed help. The new team visual shows the four actors alongside their specialized emergency vehicle, NK1.
The film also introduces new characters played by Eiji Akaso, Hiyori Sakurada, Kenjiro Tsuda, First Summer Uika, and Hiroshi Iwase, alongside returning series regulars Kento Kaku, Jun Kaname, Riisa Naka, and Yuriko Ishida. A YOKOHAMA MER unit played by Anne and Yuto Furukawa will also appear.
