Apparently Sho is going to the New york Comic con for the world premiere of Yatterman. Found this article on Anime news network, so sorry if this is old news for anyone.
"Director Takashi Miike (Crows Zero, Ichi the Killer, The Great Yokai War) and Arashi singer/actor Sho Sakurai (Honey and Clover) will appear at the world premiere of their live-action film remake of the Yatterman anime at New York Comic Con on February 6. The two will travel from Japan for a 4:00 p.m. panel and the movie's 5:00 p.m. screening in New York City."
Whole article here: http://www.animenewsnetwork.com/news/2009-01-18/miike-sakurai-to-host-yatterman-world-premiere-at-nyc
The info in the article comes from
From the NYCC panel page if you're too lazy to scroll:
"Panels as of 1/15/2009-
Yatterman: Fans have been waiting for Takashi Miike to create a giant robot movie for years, and finally it's here! Starring Japanese superstar Sho Sakurai, Yatterman is the story of two teenagers who run a super, high-tech toy shop which serves as a cover for their crime-busting exploits as Yatterman, a pair of masked super heroes who pilot the sentient dog robot, Yatterwan. Takashi Miike and Sho Sakurai will be at NYCC to speak about Yatterman at 4 PM on Friday in the IGN Theater. Both will then appear at the world premiere of Yatterman at an exclusive theater in NYC! The world premiere of Yatterman is presented by Nikkatsu, the New York Asian Film Festival, and New York Comic Con. For details as to where and when, head over to the Nikkatsu Booth (1315). "
I did further research, after a comment by
angelyrique. There is a discrepancy between the panel page, and the guest page, on the NYCC site. Because of that, I'd say this info is 50% correct, because Sho hasn't been listed as an 'offical' guest on the list here (http://www.nycomiccon.com/app/homepage.cfm?moduleid=2920&appname=100453&submenuheader=1&campaignid=61424907&iUserCampaignID=47164660#Celebrity_Guests)
Please note that all of the info is very vague, so treat it as premature and don't kill the messenger if Sho never shows. ;__;
