About Otoko mai: Love lesson
Popular idol duo Shinji and Shigeru. He retired from the entertainment industry after an injury incident five years ago. A few years later, Shigeru, now the production president, brings a new idol, Takuma, to Shinji, who is now a popular choreographer. At first, Takuma was at odds with Shinji who was giving him harsh lessons, but gradually Takuma's passion got through to him and they started to trust each other.
Directed by Kazuyoshi Sekine, Otoko mai: Love lesson leans on a strong ensemble — Yamakiyo, Tomomaru Murai, Tôshi Yanagi — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 1998.
