Seven people, including the main cast and two staff members for the live-action Kids on the slope film, were injured on Sunday when the water taxi they were riding collided with a breakwater.
The staff and cast were returning to the harbor at Sasebo, Nagasaki from the outlying island Kuroshima, where they were filming Kids on the slope.
The film’s three main cast members Yuri Chinen, and Nana Komatsu all sustained light injuries.
Takahiro Miki is directing the upcoming adaptation of Yūki Kodama’s Sakamichi no Apollon (Kids on the slope) manga, and Izumi Takahashi is writing the script.
