JAPANESE actor Yutaka Takenouchi may be 36, but he has a certain 'naivety' which just won him a leading movie role.

It was announced in Japan last week that the Beach Boys star would start shooting for Ano Sora Wo Oboeteru (Remember That Sky) before the end of the month.

His role?

A photo studio owner who leads a happy life with his piano teacher wife (Miki Mizuno) and two children, until a tragic incident tears them apart.

The film is based on an American author Janet Lee Carey's novel Wendy Has Wings.

Director Shin Togashi, who has worked with Yutaka in an earlier project, was full of praise for his suave leading man.

'I feel Yutaka Takenouchi fits the character very well as it requires naivety,' Broasia.com quoted Togashi as saying.

'He is a wonderful individual who has a vision in movie making as a whole, and respects other actors and actresses. I'm looking forward to working with him.'

Yutaka had less to say though...
