Oshi no Ko Live-Action Movie Breaks Hearts With New Trailer

As a dedicated fan who has delved deep into the idol-focused mystery of Oshi no Ko, I am eagerly anticipating the live-action adaptation that promises to bring this captivating story to life on the small screen. Having followed the manga and anime adaptations, I can’t help but feel a sense of nostalgia as I reminisce about the intricate plot threads and character dynamics that have kept me hooked for so long.


Although opinions about the manga’s ending of “Oshi no Ko” may differ among fans, anticipation for its live-action adaptation is higher than ever. Alongside a fresh trailer and visual artwork, they also announced the project’s concluding theme song – “Shining Song” by B-Komachi. The live-action series will debut on Amazon Prime starting November 28, with a film following on December 20 to wrap up the storyline. It remains uncertain how much of Aka Akasaka’s idol-centered murder mystery series the live-action show plans to adapt, given that only eight episodes (excluding the movie) are slated for release.

The anime “Oshi no Ko” revolves around Dr. Gorou, a fervent fan of pop idol Ai Hoshino who’s assigned to secretly help her give birth. In a tragic turn during the series’ opening, Gorou is brutally murdered on the night of delivery and reborn as Aquamarine “Aqua” Hoshino, one of Ai’s children. Remarkably, Aqua retains memories from his previous life. His twin sister, Ruby, shares his past fandom for Ai, which fosters a competitive sibling relationship between them. When they’re still young, Ai is murdered in their home by an unidentified man, prompting Ruby and Aqua to seek out the murderer’s identity and bring him to justice.

Oshi no Ko’s Focus On Criticizing the Entertainment Industry Is Perfect For Live Action

Although it may seem unusual due to its fantastical setting, Oshi no Ko stands out for its insightful observations and criticisms of the Japanese entertainment industry. The series skillfully incorporates poignant commentary and references to real-life incidents involving popular idols, maintaining a somber mood while still delivering an engaging fictional mystery and an entertaining tale about aspiring idols. This unique blend of serious critique and captivating storytelling makes Oshi no Ko a promising candidate for a live action drama adaptation. Furthermore, several actors involved in the project have previous experience as idols themselves; Nagisa Saito, who was a member of the idol group =LOVE, will be playing Ruby, and Asuka Saito, a former member of Nogizaka46, will portray Ai.

Oshi no Ko Live-Action Movie Breaks Hearts With New Trailer

As a devoted fan, I can’t help but ponder about the impending live-action adaptation of “Oshi no Ko,” given the intricate web of plotlines that make up its captivating narrative. The original manga encompasses an impressive 166 chapters, with the anime adaptation currently spanning across two seasons and 48 episodes. Even if the live action chooses to mirror the adapted content from the anime, it would still face a time crunch to accurately depict every unfolding event while also nurturing the complex character dynamics that are essential to the series. The more probable scenario is that the live action may have to make compromises with the storyline and content to fit within its limited runtime, which could potentially dilute the intended impact for viewers.
