Netflix Readies Star-Studded Japanese Musical Drama ‘Glass Heart’ With Takeru Satoh


Netflix's 'Glass Heart,' a Japanese musical drama starring Takeru Satoh, is set for a July global premiere.

Adding serious musical credibility, Yojiro Noda, frontman of acclaimed Japanese rock outfit Radwimps, has penned original songs for the fictional band. The supporting cast features Erika Karata as Tenblank’s manager Miyako Kai, Pistol Takehara as Genji Kamiyama, Akari Takaishi as singer Yukino Sakurai (who performs Fujitani’s compositions), and You playing Momoko Saijo, Akane’s mother and confidante. “Glass Heart” continues Netflix’s hot streak of Japanese content following “ Bullet Train Explosion,” which has maintained a four-week run on the Global Top 10 Film (Non-English) list.
