The official website for Shinji Higuchi‘s upcoming kaiju TV drama MM9 (short for Monster Magnitude 9) has been updated with a 30-second TV spot. Unfortunately, there are no actual monsters to be seen, but you gotta love Anna Ishibashi‘s delayed thumbs up at the end.
Based on a story by sci-fi writer Hiroshi Yamamoto, the show centers around a special “living creatures” division of the Japan Meteorological Agency which predicts the appearance of monsters. When an attack does occur, a team of monster specialists called “Kitokutai” is sent to the front lines, even if the Japan Self-Defense Force is unavailable. As ordinary public servants, these unsung heroes have no weapons, and must rely only their skills, knowledge, and experience to minimize the damage caused by monsters.
Ishibashi (17) and Machiko Ono (28) are the show’s two main stars. Ishibashi plays Sakura Fujisawa, a rookie member of the team, and Ono plays Mikazuki,...

Shinji Higuchi (44), known as the “Heisei special effects king” for his work on the Heisei era Gamera trilogy, is supervising the production of his first TV drama. The show is called MM9 (Monster Magnitude 9) and is set in an alternate version of modern-day Japan in which monster attacks are the norm and are treated as another form of natural disaster. The show is based on a story by sci-fi writer Hiroshi Yamamoto which was originally serialized in Tokyo Sogensha’s “Mysteries!” from 2005-2006 and published as a book in 2007.
The project was first hinted at through an April Fools joke which presented it as a “sci-fi epic” called XX9. Higuchi released a photo of the cast dressed up in traditional sci-fi outfits and wielding futuristic rifles.

It’s been known for a while now that Nobuhiro Yamashita (Linda Linda Linda, A Gentle Breeze in the Village) was working on a new film, thanks to a mysterious listing added to IMDb a while back for an Untitled Nobuhiro Yamashita Project. The listing hasn’t given away much info aside from the fact that Yamashita was once again working with “Linda Linda Linda” screenwriter Kosuke Mukai, but further details finally came out earlier today in Japan.
The new film is called My Back Page and is set in the late 1960s around the time of the student protests at Tokyo University. It’s based on the experiences of film critic and translator Saburo Kawamoto, who worked as a newspaper reporter from 1969-1972. Satoshi Tsumabuki (29) will play a journalist and Kenichi Matsuyama (25) will play a left-wing university student. This marks the first time the two popular actors have co-starred in a film together.
