RED SHOES Trailer: Aya Asahina Laces Up For Her Next Round In Toshiro Saiga’s New Boxing Drama
This year’s events at Fantasia saw the World Premiere of Kanon and Little Maestro helmer Toshiro Saiga’s new boxing drama, Red Shoes. The film marks the latest feature performance for actress Aya Asahina who first popped up on my radar after appearing in the first season of the hit Netflix action sci-fi survival series, director Shunsuke Sato’s Alice In Borderland.
She’s coming back in season two this month, which should make for some exciting talk ahead of the forthcoming December 9 pre-release screening in the city of Kitakyushu for Red Shoes, which will open in Japan nationwide on February 24. Penned by Shinya Hokimoto and Kyoko Uesugi, Asahina stars as a widow and struggling single mother who decides to ply her trade in boxing in order to win back custody of her daughter from her mother in law.
The film also stars Hayato Ichihara, Sasaki Nozomi, Win Morisaki, Arisu Mizuki and Yuki Matsushita.
