Just asking now. Has Yonekura anything to do with this film? Why is there always a Japanese "talento" in these promotional events and shots for foreign films?

Moonraker

Yonekura did star in "Chicago" on Broadway and in Japan, so I guess she is at least a little more qualified than the other Japanese celebs that usually attend these events.

is she in it or just brainless eye candy to get people to pay attention?

I assume she did the voiceover for Ryan in the movie.

"Japanese Super Star Ryoko Yonekura will return to Broadway's Chicago this summer."

That's why.

I'm not a fan of musicals, but I enjoyed La La Land very much.

Thanks, Brainiac and socrateos. The connection does not seem immediately obvious to me. Sorry to spoil your Friday, marcelito, if my appeal for information does that.

I hate musicals. So fake...I dislike theater too. I prefer great movies.

La La Land was good and will probably win Best Picture for the ode to Hollywood alone. Moonlight though is a much much more powerful movie so I hope it wins.
