Nagasawa Masami Shines in First Trailer for Confidence Man JP: Princess as the Grifter Version of Crazy Rich Asians
The first movie trailer is out for Confidence Man JP: Princess, the next installment of the wildly popular over-the-top and endearing con man story with Nagasawa Masami as the Dako, the high flying grifter of many faces and talents. I watched the movie set in HK recently on the plane and was so entertained, but there is also the original dorama and a SP for those wanting to catch. The next movie takes the entire gang including Boku Chan, Richard, Monako, Star, Jessie, and many more familiar faces to Singapore in what looks like a total homage to Crazy Rich Asians. Love it! Sadly due to the cheating scandal of male lead Higashide Masahiro, reportedly the production will trim down his scenes to the bare minimum so that may impact the end product but probably wise considering he’s persona non grata right now in J-ent. Princess premieres May 1 to kick off the summer 2020 movie season in Japan.

Yes the first Confidence Man movie is highly entertaining. She is also one of my favorite J-actresses. Glad to read more Japanese entertainment coverage here in KP. Thank you Ms Koala 🙂 That cheater should be slashed from the screen, there are enough artists and lots of cameos in the movie already.
I love the drama and SP. I think the one who carried most of the story is Dako. Masami really show her acting ability in here. but still,cutting boku-chan screentime (masahide’s chara) will affect the story as whole .. sigh ..
Masami is one of my favourite Japanese actresses. I really respect and admire her since she always put so much effort in her roles, like shaving her head for the movie “Crying out in the center of the world” and speaking Mandarin in the Taiwanese drama “Chocolat”. I’m glad her movies and dramas have been well-received.
