The human suspense film “Kaneko Sashiiriten,” starring Ryuhei Maruyama (SUPER EIGHT), will be released nationwide in 2025.
This work is set in a “delivery shop” that delivers food to people held in prisons and detention centers, and depicts the human drama of the various circumstances faced by the people there, as well as the bonds between the families that run the delivery shop.
As soon as it was announced the other day that the film would star lead actor Ryuhei Maruyama, as well as Yoko Maki, Kira Miura, and Akira Terao, three related words became trending topics on X (formerly Twitter), and the following day it was announced that the film would be entered into the “NEW CURRENTS” competition section of the 29th Busan International Film Festival, the largest in Asia, creating a huge buzz.
And now, seven additional cast members surrounding the Kaneko family have been announced.
