The live-action movie adaptation of Shigatsu wa Kimi no Uso (Your Lie in April) manga will open in Japan in September, which was revealed on the official Twitter account of Kodansha’s Comic Plus portal site.

 


The protagonists in the movie will be played by Kento Yamazaki and Suzu Hirose. The piano prodigy Kosei Arima will be played by Yamazaki and the free-spirited violinist Kaori Miyazono by Hirose. Kosei and Kaori will be second-year high school students in the movie, but they are junior high school students in the original manga story. Yamazaki and Hirose began practicing piano and violin about half a year before the start of shooting.

E-girls pop group member Anna Ishii will play Tsubaki Sawabe, and Taishi Nakagawa will play Ryota Watari. Takehiko Shinjo will direct the movie, with scripts by Yukari Tatsui.

The manga is written and illustrated by Naoshi Arakawa, and inspired a television anime in 2014.

The original manga revolves around Kosei Arima, a former child piano prodigy who could no longer play the piano when his mother died. His daily life is monochrome, until, one day, a female violinist changes everything. Kaori Miyazono, an audacious free-spirited violinist who is overflowing with personality, helps Kosei return to the music world and shows him a free and mold breaking style.
