"Cheerfu11y" movie screening pics and video
May sound like an odd post and guess it is. Mainly it's to prepare you for the next post which is a review of the 2011 film "Cheerfu11y". That is how it's spelled, the 11 has to do with how many members were on a cheerleading team. The film is about that activity and it's one of those Japanese underdog films which they've become famous for.
Above are two pics of Yuu, she'll make my top ten again this year as she's someone I can never leave off a list as to me she's almost too perfect to begin describing. There haven't been too many posts for her this year so thought I'd better have a few to reintroduce you to her. She does have a new single coming out in January, will get back to her 'singles series' posts soon.
She had the lead role as Kanna in the film, thought it was an okay movie but will admit that I've seen hundreds that are better. It's an older film too as it was released on October 22, 2011 and this event took place ten days before the premiere. There was a special screening for the film at Shibuya-AX and all of the cast knew that place well.
That's because all of the eleven girls who were cheerleaders in the film were also Idols from J-Pop groups, that club used to be popular for concerts. Small post as mentioned as I just wanted to have a lead in for the film's review. Pics here are from that special screening, harder to get pics from so many years ago but luckily there's still a video of the event which you can view at the bottom.
