Ghost in the Shell: Innocence

Gotta hand it to the people at Japanese production outfit Robot - the company behind fantastic amnesiac-wrestling comedy Gachi Boy - they’re quickly cornering the market on unusual sports comedies, leaving the world of wrestling for Oppai Volleyball. And this, boys and girls - but mostly boys - is a film that features possibly the greatest motivational technique ever.
Picture this, you’re an under-achieving, poorly motivated high school teen when the volleyball team is taken over by a young and pretty new teacher. She does what she can to get you and your teammates producing results but nothing seems to work until, finally, in desperation, she one day plays her hidden ace. If you and your teammates can get it together and win the upcoming tournament she will show you her breasts. Will it work? No idea, but it would certainly get my attention if I were on that team, particularly if the teacher in question were Haruka Ayase who is not even remotely what can be considered an ugly woman. Nope. No ugly genes at all.
The producers claim this one is based on a true story, which I actually find fairly easy to believe. I’ve been checking for a trailer on this one for a couple of months now - yes, I’m pathetic - and it has finally arrived, check it below the break in the Twitch Player.

I had to Google her, but once I saw the pictures I must admit it would motivate me!

I’m guessing Oppai means boobs cause I googled that and got a crap load of boobies.

She’s pretty big here.
Films she’s made recently are Happy Flight, My Cyborg Girlfriend and Ichi, the retelling of Zatochi but with a girl playing the character and, ya know…not over 50.
I haven’t seen any of these, sorry…but all my friends go weak in the brain when she’s on the news.
I really wonder if this will do okish or be a massive hit.
Smart title.

haha “Naisu oppai” YUP, definitely on my to see list, but I doubt we gets to see any oppai in that movie

Swarez, you are correct, sir. Oppai are breasts.
And I’m fairly confident this will do well in Japan ... put an actress like Ayase in a film with Breasts in the title and people will buy tickets.

No doubt this was based on a true story. This motivational technique seems to be used quite often with students. If only i had been motivated like that in school.

Mmmmm…oppai
Haruka-chan was also in the newly released-to-DVD “The Magic Hour”, albeit in a supporting role.

To add on, “oppai” means well endowed ones, to be exact.
I doubt Haruka-chan’s going to disrobe for this one, but hey, its titillating enough for publicity purposes. She looks fantastic in the recent film “My girlfriend is a cyborg” - especially in that tight fitting futuristic suit.

OK, I bit and Googled her.
And… damn!

Sounds like a load of balls rather than boobs if you ask me..

My Cyborg Girlfriend was actually pretty good (for a cheesy sci-fi romance film), and she wasn’t hard to watch. I’ve been wanting to see Ichi ever since it was announced. I’d say that she’s too much of an up-and-coming star to resort to nudity yet, unfortunately. I have a good feeling that a bunch of Japanese teens (as well as the obligatory creepy old men) are going to go home feeling slightly blue in the balls.
