1. Call Boy
Japanese Movie - 2018
The first time I saw Matsuzaka Tori was on a cover of a magazine on display at a Japanese library. I remember thinking he was so beautiful that I had to find out who he is. So I asked the staff there and she told me his name. I found out about this movie and immediately ordered it off YesAsia.
He is brilliant in this film.
