Yosuke Eguchi (42) and Yu Aoi (24) will co-star in a new movie by director Yoshihiro Fukagawa ("60-sai no Love Letter," "Hanbun no Tsuki ga Noboru Sora"). Both of them will play pastry chefs in the film, which is titled "Yogamini cooperen Coin de Rue."

Eguchi plays Tomura, a man who was once known as the "legendary patissier" before he suddenly stopped making his famous cakes and became a lecturer and critic. Aoi, on the other hand, plays a young woman named Natsume who moves from Kagoshima to Tokyo to chase after her boyfriend. Natsume begins working at a shop called "Coin de Rue," where Tomura is a regular, and their encounter leads them both to personal growth.

It is said that Aoi's lines are entirely in Kagoshima-ben, which she has been earnestly practicing. She and Eguchi also had to train a lot for their baking scenes.

Supporting cast members include Noriko Eguchi, Hiroyuki Onoue, Sumie Sasaki, and Keiko Toda. Filming already took place last fall, and the movie is scheduled for theatrical release in early 2011.
