Tomoya Nagase's Too Young to Die


It has been a long time since Nagase has graced with us awesome acting skills on the big stage, last time it was back in 2009 with Heaven's Door. Of-course Nagase has done several other works in between that time in form TV dramas which have been reasonable well received. His new movie seems like a good fit for the type of comedic and reckless characters that Nagase often portrays. Too Young to Die, seems like it will be a Nagase classic.

Brief overview of the plot is discussed below.
High school student Daisuke played by (Ryunosuke Kamiki) has a crush on classmate Hiromi. On the way to a school trip, the bus has an accident and Daisuke happens to be on-board. When Daisuke wakes up, he finds himself in place he does not expect, Hell. He asks himself "Why only me? I'm too you young to die and I've never even experienced a kiss."

Then, Killer K (Tomoya Nagase) appears in front of the confused Daisuke. Killer K leads the rock band Heruzu from Hell Agricultural High School. To return to the living and confess his feelings to his classmate Hiromi, Daisuke's hell rounds begin under Killer K's special training.


Filming began mid-May, 2015 in Tokyo and finishes sometime during summer, 2015.

TOKIO's Nagase Tomoya has formed a new band on the sideline...

Members such as designer Tashi nice to be rid of 




Do you know that there is "another face" to Tomoya Nagase of TOKIO? Sure we may remember him from his roles in My Boss My Hero and most recently Nakuna Hara-chan. However as of late his career goals have shifted else where. "it seems he does not want his activities to be questioned too much by anyone" (entertainment reporter) he is in non-TOKIO band.

The Johnny's style is about the activities of Nagase, which can become a "taboo" if revealed, a weekly women magazine  released on July 14, posted an interesting article about his band activities.

The mystery of the biker band formed ●  
According to the article, Nagase and Takizawa Shinsuke a fashion designer and friend of Nagase. Have formed a group of five and "was formed in 2011 in Furekomi ". By the way, Nagase is responsible for the guitar and vocals for the group. He hides this as he has not released a public statement, and likes to perform while wearing a mask to hide his face.  

One of the entertainment reporters, talks about the bands mystery in the following statment. "Normally Nagase is famous as a full-fledged rock favorite of TOKIO. He is one of Johnny's strongest performer. It seems nowadays Nagase needs more than just his old band TOKIO, and decided to open and participate in his new band secretly, away from the prying eyes of media and fans. However he recently had to reduce his activities as result of curious fans hammering him with questions. There is ofcourse a limit to his patience .

This year in April, there was live show for the first time in a long time in Takizawa in a fashion event held in Shibuya club. Nagase also appeared to be wearing an eye mask , his voice and appearance were the same. One of the members of Weekly women magaize, this time, questioned the M's hairdresser, and asked "why the band revival," but, M Mr. just responded with confused look.





Nagase being a member of Johnny's has slightly begun to blur. Nagase next year in February will be in a new movie called "Too Young to Die!", for the first time since 2009's Heaven's Door. It seems he will jump out of Johnny's, as revived rock star, to make his fans feel the need to see him when he performs.
