Shinichiro Yuki, a supernova in the mystery world, released the short story “#Diffusion Hope” in 2021 and won the 74th Japan Mystery Writers Association Award (short story category). The following year, in 2022, we will record five gems that perfectly combine modern Japan’s “now” and mystery techniques, including “#Diffusion Hope”, in a familiar story that symbolizes modern times. “I’ll Tell You the Truth” (Shincho Bunko), which depicts “something wrong” hidden in everyday life, has been released.

Since then, this work has been made into a comic, an audiobook, and has been translated overseas in four countries: South Korea, China, Taiwan, and Thailand, making it a big hit. Information about the live-action film adaptation was already released on the book’s obi in July 2024, and it was attracting a lot of attention.
The film adaptation of “I’ll tell you the truth” has finally begun.
■The starring characters are Motoki Omori and Fuma Kikuchi, who have the power to knock down a flying bird!
The main character in this work is Mrs. GREEN APPLE’s frontman Motoki Omori. Responsible for all aspects of the songs, including writing, composing, and arranging all songs, as well as artwork and music video ideas.Since the band’s formation in 2013, they have released a string of hit songs such as “Ao to Natsu” and “Inferno.” . On the 10th anniversary year of 2023, “Que Sera Sera” will be held for the 65th Shining! They received the Japan Record Award at the “Japan Record Awards” and appeared in the “74th NHK Kohaku Uta Gassen” for the first time with “Dance Hall,” attracting a lot of attention as a “national band” and continuing to captivate viewers. are.
Omori, who has a unique variety of talents and sensibilities and has professed to “love to express himself,” will be making his long-awaited debut in a movie as a new challenge that goes beyond just music. This will be his first starring role.
Also starring is Kikuchi Fuma from the hugely popular male idol group timelesz. Since her debut, she has continued to be active as a top idol, appearing on “Nino-san” (Nippon TV) and “Celebrities Seriously Think!” Prank GP” (Fuji TV), “Isn’t there something interesting about it?” ” (Fuji TV) and on the YouTube channel “Yonino Channel,” she attracts many fans with her humorous and charming appearance, and has an overwhelming presence in the idol world. .
Furthermore, as soon as the audition “Timelesz Project” to recruit new members of the group was broadcast exclusively on Netflix, it jumped to first place on Netflix’s domestic weekly rankings. The way he continues to take on challenges is attracting a lot of attention. In 2023, Kikuchi, who has starred in three consecutive drama series and continues to make remarkable strides as an actor, will make his first leading role in a movie with this work.
Kikuchi will play Kiriyama, a security guard who has closed off his heart after a certain incident, and Omori will play Suzuki, the mysterious man next to him. What kind of chemical reaction will the double leads of Omori and Kikuchi, who both shine on the front lines, show? Motoki Omori x Fuma Kikuchi, what exactly is the “#truth” between them?
Spoilers are strictly prohibited for this work. Omori was often unable to talk about the story or even the characters, but when asked about his impressions after reading the script, he said, “The story progresses like a roller coaster, so I was captivated and kept reading.” Speaking about the story, Kikuchi said, “You can’t predict how the story will unfold, and the more you read, the more the mystery deepens, and the foreshadowing is revealed at the end. Looks like it was attached.
When asked about their roles, Omori said, “Fuma-kun is a security guard, but I’m a mysterious guy (lol). There are so many things I can’t say.” Kikuchi said, “We’re like good friends, but… , we don’t know each other that well. That’s why it’s so close to reality (lol),” he answered with a friendly laugh.
The story revolves around two people whose roles are still a lot of mystery, and what is the “#truth” that no one knows yet.
The director of this work is his debut work in the “Kaidan Shinmimibukuro” series, which has had a great influence on numerous Japanese horror works, and is a unique horror comedy in the “Kaiki Daikazoku” and “Yokai Share House” series. Keisuke Toyoshima has created a unique worldview. Director Toyoshima, who has worked on a wide range of works in addition to horror, including youth and documentaries, demonstrates his skills in this work. Skillfully depicts the “unnaturalness” that lurks in everyday life.
■Super teaser visual and video released for the first time! Release date is set for April 25, 2025
The newly released super teaser visual is a two-shot of Omori and Kikuchi facing each other with serious faces. At this point, it is hard to imagine what kind of people Suzuki and Kiriyama, played by these two, are.
The super teaser video released at the same time shows a dark and suspicious security room. Cuts of Suzuki (Omori) raising the corner of his mouth in a meaningful way and Kiriyama (Kikuchi) looking like he is praying for something are inserted, and I am curious to see how the security room and the two of them will be involved in the story.
■Mototaka Omori comment
When I was asked to appear on the show, I was honestly surprised and wondered, “Why me?” At first, I was hesitant because I thought it was a different field, but after reading the script, I thought I might be able to help. The story of the script progresses like a roller coaster, so I was captivated and read on. It was my first time filming a movie, so I was nervous at first, but Fuma-kun welcomed me warmly and I felt very reassured. He seemed like a kind older brother. There’s a lot I can’t say yet, but I’d like you to see it in theaters.
I have to watch “#Truth” at the movie theater (lol)■Fuma Kikuchi comment
At first, I was surprised when I was asked to play the lead role in this work. And I was really looking forward to co-starring with Omori-kun. It seems that Omori-kun didn’t have much acting experience, but I think that’s a lie. It was wonderful to see how sturdy she was so that she could lend me her breasts. The development of the script is unpredictable, and the more you read it, the more the mystery deepens and the foreshadowing is revealed at the end. I thought this work had an interesting balance between refreshing parts and refreshing parts. I think the combination of Omori-kun and me is also unique, and there are many mysteries in the story, so I hope that people will go to the theater to see the movie in order to solve the mysteries and go home with a feeling of “Que Sera Sera.” I think so (lol)■Director Keisuke Toyoshima comments
This work is based on Shinichiro Yuki’s original work, which is meticulously constructed with mysteries and plot twists, and has been completed with a special twist unique to movies. I created a number of “uncomforts” before arriving at the real “truth”. I am proud that this is a movie that no one has ever seen before, allowing you to have a “reflective movie experience” that will leave you wondering who and what to believe until the end!
This time, Motoki Omori, who is appearing in a movie for the first time, caught my attention. We can have heated discussions about acting, and he suggests a lot of different ideas. Moreover, the play is both natural and crazy. “Are you a seasoned actor with a unique personality?” I said to him.
And Fuma Kikuchi, who can be called a comrade, with whom I have worked on many works together. This time, I played a role that was unprecedented, and I was asked to act in an extreme situation that I had never seen before, but he showed a new frontier that surprised even me, saying, “Fuma, you make that face!” He gave it to me.
The thrilling, tingling performance of these two people reaches an incredible state at the end. Please look forward to what kind of “truth” awaits!■Original author: Shinichiro Yuki comments
It has always been my dream to be listed as the “original author” in the end credits of a movie. I’m really happy that that dream has come true so quickly and with such a gorgeous double lead. It is often said that novels are “impossible to make into a film,” but I have always thought that “I’ll Tell You the Truth” is a work that would be impossible to make into a movie.
How can a collection of short stories, each consisting of unconnected, independent stories, be made into a single film?
Also, what kind of characters will Mr. Omori and Mr. Kikuchi play? Please go to the theater and see for yourself the truth.■Planning/Producing: Takashi Hirano Comment
I worked with Omori on the songs he wrote for the movie, such as “Blue and Summer”, “Song of Pointillism”, and “Soranji”, and after working with him for seven years, I came to feel that he was a charming trickster.
As Suzuki, the main character of this movie, became a fascinating character during the writing of the script, Omori-kun’s face often came to mind, and at the same time, I was excited to see the great chemical reaction to the movie.
The other main character, Kiriyama, is a very human, and in a sense pathetic man.
I felt that if Kikuchi, a top idol who always takes on new challenges, played this role, the movie would be very endearing.
Please look forward to the “naive explosion” of these two!
