Ryu Murakami’s books are strange. They are violent, sensual, absurdly humorous, surrealistic, and hide their comments in an atmosphere of confusion and disorientation. The same actually applies to the movies based on his books, either those he directed himself (“Tokyo Decadence“) or those directed by others (“Audition“). “Karaoke Terror” despite being quite approachable, also includes the same elements, starting with the story.
Five young men spend their time together for no apparent reason, since they seem to have no common interests apart from doing karaoke in bondage outfits twice a week, and enjoying peeking on the neighbor that lives across the apartment of one of them, which functions as their headquarters. On the opposite axis lie five middle-aged women, either single or divorced, who are all named Midori and also enjoy their karaoke.

Today more cast members were announced for Miwa Nishikawa’s next film Yume Uru Futari. The new additions are Yusuke Iseya, Teruyuki Kagawa, and Tsurube Shofukutei.
Kagawa has previously worked with Nishikawa in both Sway and Dear Doctor, the latter of which starred Shofukutei.
Although Iseya hasn’t appeared in any of her films, they did work together on the set of Distance in 2001 when she was Hirokazu Kore-eda’s assistant director.

In the film, their characters are a married couple who conspire to commit marriage fraud. The targets of their scam are played by Lena Tanaka, Sawa Suzuki, Tae Kimura, Tamae Ando, and Yuka Ebara,...
