I would love it if they did a corny TV drama version of Shenmue. They could put some idol boy from Johnny's in the lead as Ryo:

Ishihara Satomi as Nozomi:

Segata Sanshiro reprising his role as Iwao:

Tom will be changed from Jamaican to African and played by Bobby Ologon:

The Bad Boys as Goro and his new sidekick:

Gushiken Youkou as Yamagishi-san:

Fukuhara will no longer be a martial arts student, but a 40 year old hikikomori otaku boarder living at the Hazuki Dojo which hasn't been used as an actual training space in years due to the declining interest in the study of martial arts. He is played by Gekidan Hitori:

It will be the funniest thing on TV in years, but Shenmue only in name. And that's how television works kids.

On a slightly serious note Nagase Tomoya would actually be an awesome Ren.

Usually I agree, but this particular topic opener actually has some good choices. At the very least, he's picking all Japanese actors. I like his choice for Lan Di quite a lot.
Personally, I think his choice for Gui Zhang, Konishi Hiroki, would be a better Ryo. Never really thought about it before, but his character in Garo has that right kind of "constantly serious and stoic" style to him that would shape a really good Ryo.
So yeah, usually people's casting choices are terrible, but these ones aren't too bad.


Well, his acting would make him a better Ryo, but I think his look and certainly his built and height make him a better Gui Zhang. The Garo movie will be out soon in Japan and can't wait to see him in it. If Wakamatsu Toshihide was any younger, I could imagine him as Goro lol. I was thinking of putting Kane Kosugi in a role, but I don't know who he could play. I could imagine Sho Kosugi as the old Tai Chi Master and I would love to see Zhang Ziyi as Xiuying.

For Japanese soundtrack, I think bring in the composer, but also use Japanese jpop tracks from that time like Wink and Moritaka Chisasto and Koizumi Kyoko. Make the time feel more authentic.

For Fuku-san, I would like Shimizu Kazuki in the role since his character as The Professor has an asthetic the feels like Fuku-san.

I have no clue on the rest, but Lan Di would have to be played by Christopher walken.

Laurence Olivier would obviously be Ryo, Robert De Niro would be Fuku-san, Robert Shaw would be Tom, and Joe Pesci would, of course, be Lan Di.
And Claire Danes would be Ine-san.

I think Tadanobu Asano could pull off a good, wooden Ryo.

I would not mind a sound novel, where half of it would be the "tap-tap-tap" of his shoes on the cold cement of Yokosuka, trying not to get home too late, so it won't worry Ine-san.

That gives me an idea to start editing some sound files...
