A documentary film will be released in November…A collection of “brilliant” images of former “SMAP” member Katsuyuki Mori.
On September 24, a trailer for the documentary film “Auto Racer Katsuyuki Mori: The Promised Oval, The Movie,” scheduled to be released nationwide on November 29, was released.
The film stars Katsuyuki Mori (50), a former member of the well-known “SMAP” group.
In May 1996, when he was at the peak of his popularity as an idol, he left SMAP to become an auto racer, which had been his dream since childhood. He also retired from show business. The film was produced by adding new footage to “Auto Racer Katsuyuki Mori: To the Promised Oval,” which was screened at the TBS Documentary Film Festival in March of 2011. In the trailer, he talks about how he said at a press conference when he was in training school that he wanted to be the best in Japan, the competition where he won the championship, his rehabilitation after his serious injury, and his passionate bond with the members of SMAP.
The most “idol-like” of all.
Mori became a member of SMAP in April 1988. The following year, he made his debut as the lead in a TV drama series, “Tsuyoshi Shikkashimashinasai” (Nippon Television). She was the first of the members to achieve this feat.
He was the most popular member of the group, and was said by SMAP fans to be “the most idolized of the group,” and he and Takuya Kimura (51) were the two most popular. The popular “Bistro SMAP” corner on “SMAP x SMAP” (Fuji TV) was also created for Mori, who was a good cook, and was initially a battle between Kimura and Mori.
