Vista Cinemas, in partnership with Pioneer Films, hosted an advance screening of the Japanese live-action film As Long As We Both Shall Live on November 27 at Cinema 1 VIP Theater of Vista Mall Taguig. The film is based on the best-selling manga “My Happy Marriage” by Akumi Agitogi, which tells an epic tale of love and empowerment in the fictional Japan of the Meiji Era.
The film stars Ren Meguro, a member of the J-pop band Snow Man, as Kiyoka Kudo, a ruthless soldier who leads the Alien Force, a group of people with special abilities (inou) that protect the country from various disasters. Mio Imada, who also appeared in the live-action Tokyo Revengers series, plays Miyo Saimori, a young woman from a prestigious family who is born without the ability and is forced to marry Kiyoka as a political ploy.
The film follows the journey of Miyo and Kiyoka as they overcome their differences and challenges and develop a special bond with each other. The film is directed by Ayuko Tsukahara, who has also worked on other popular Japanese dramas and movies.
As Long As We Both Shall Live is set to open in cinemas on November 29, with a running time of 1 hour and 54 minutes. It has been rated PG by the Movie and Television Review and Classification Board (MTRCB). Vista Cinemas will be giving away free cinema passes at any future movie for those who will be watching the film from November 29 to December 5.
