In 2011, Japanese actor Haruma Miura starred in Shinji Aoyama's Tokyo Park, playing the male protagonist Koji Shida. In the film, Koji aspires to become a cinematographer and meets Hatsushima in Tokyo Park, who commissions him to secretly photograph his girlfriend. Koji accepts the commission and changes his relationship with the women around him as a result. Haruma Miura said that among the many film and television dramas he has starred in, Koji Shida is the closest to him.
Makoto Aoyama believes that Haruma Miura has a dazzling beauty. "Just standing there exudes a sense of freshness." This is exactly the impression that Haruma Miura left on the audience, and in the crowded Ginza shopping street, passers-by can see him at a glance, because "you are the only one shining in the whole street."
In 2007, 17-year-old Haruma Miura starred in the Japanese pure love movie "Love Sky". The male protagonist Hiroki, played by him, and mika, the heroine played by Yui Niigaki, have experienced early love, pregnancy, miscarriage, terminal illness and other bridges together. The film became a topic of conversation among Chinese and Japanese film fans that year, earning more than 3 billion yen at the box office. Haruma Miura is fair and thin in the movie, with a pointed chin and eyebrows like an anime character, and even the silver-white killing Matt hairstyle has become a plus. This shape, together with his charming smile, has become a common memory of a generation of Chinese and Japanese youth. He won the Best Newcomer Award at the Japan Academy Awards, known as the "Oscar of Japan", for this film, which also means that his acting skills have been professionally recognized.
"Love Sky" (2007)
This film became the beginning of Haruma Miura's career. In 2009, he starred in the premiere of "Extreme Akishi Movie Edition" with kazuya Kameari and Yuki Nakama, which exceeded 500 million yen on the day of its premiere; in 2010, he starred in the pure love movie "Good to Tell You" with a box office of more than 1.5 billion yen; in 2013, he participated in the war film "Forever 0", which grossed 8 billion yen; the following year, at the age of 24, he went out of Japan for the first time and starred in the Sino-Japanese co-production film "Five Minutes Before Midnight". At that time, he had become a popular Japanese actor with a box office of nearly 20 billion.
During the promotion of "Five Minutes Before Midnight", Haruma Miura was interviewed by a large number of Chinese media. When asked about his acting path plan, he replied many times: "Regarding the invitation to star, I have only recently begun to negotiate with my agent about what role I want to play." After joining Amuse, you will get a lot of very good job opportunities... So far, I have received what to act, and I hope to change through my own efforts, and I will join my own ideas in the future, such as what kind of roleS I want to challenge, what kind of script, and how to respond to the invitation to appear. ”
Five Minutes Before Midnight (2014)
In this way, the TV series he starred in has been trapped by the powerful effect of "Love Void" for many years. From 2008 to 2010, Haruma Miura starred in campus dramas such as "Extreme Path Fresh Master 3", "Herbivorous College Samurai", and "Blood Monday". In 2011, he starred with Keirika Toda in the Tsuki-9 drama "What You Taught Me The Most Important", becoming the first actor in Japan's Heisei generation (a Japanese born after 1989) to star in Tsuki-9 (a Japanese drama broadcast at 9:00 p.m. on Fuji TV on Monday night, known as "Tsuki-9", a golden signboard for Japanese dramas). He finally went from student to teacher, but still around the school drama. Although Haruma Miura has shown a certain talent in professional ability, as a newcomer to the Heisei generation, he is still unable to take over the class of showa-era actors at once. School dramas that are more suitable for their age and have more room to play are a stopgap choice.
In 2012, Haruma Miura took over the stage play "Seven Pirates", and two years later starred in "Five Right Gate Rock 3", two historical theme stage plays that allowed him to gain more stage experience and audience praise. In 2013, he played the meat-eating "little wolf dog" in the TV series "The Last Cinderella", which pursues a 39-year-old big mother-like character. The series was well received for its fairytale love and the background of the modern city, and Haruma Miura also completely bid farewell to the image of the young and thin pure love teenager in the campus drama because of this role, and entered a new stage of film and television creation. The male host of "Small Talk 007" said in the show that in the past, watching Miura's dramas would probably only say "this actor is very hard", and after "The Last Cinderella" was broadcast, he would sigh "really sexy".
The Last Cinderella (2013)
In his past works, haruma Miura's great efforts can be traced. In order to play Ah Liang in "Five Minutes Before Midnight", in addition to studying Chinese for three months, he also studied watch repair, observed that the watchmaker had a cocoon on his hand, and when he had time, he would hold a pen and let his hands grow cocoons; in "Tokyo Park", he learned photography; in "The Last Cinderella", he spent a lot of energy practicing off-road cycling; when he starred in the movie "The First Time That Summer" (2006), he learned to surf; filming "Extreme Fresh Master", he played a bad teenager, For a long time in life, I will accidentally explode my foul mouth. Therefore, efforts, along with smiles and eyes, became the label for the audience to praise him.
Tokyo Park (2011)
His role does match the breath he presents in public: positive, confident, brave, sunny. In 2014, he starred in the Japanese drama "The Time I Existed". In the play, he suffers from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), exhausted and struggling with the pain, and does his best to grasp happiness. He said: "I now accept the fact that I am sick and have decided to live in the moment. I became unable to walk, I became unable to work, illness took away a lot of my things, and I kept staring at what was taken away and only felt afraid. So I can only focus on what I can. Find a goal, then lose it, and repeat it over and over again. My determination is something that illness cannot take away. Even if all the goals are taken away in the end, the fact that I am trying to live towards the goals will not be taken away. I'm afraid of death, and I'm afraid of life. Deciding to die or live is daunting. But after getting sick, I started to like myself a little bit. ”
Attack on Titan (2015)
In 2015, he starred in Attack on Titan. This became the trough of his acting career. In response to more and more bad reviews of him, the audience thought that his expression was "excessive and exaggerated" and "the bangs were long enough to cover his eyes". In chinese propaganda a year ago, he mentioned several times that Attack on Titan was a comic he liked very much. The reporter recalled that when asked about "Attack on Titan", "Chunma suddenly became enthusiastic, dancing and introducing the relevant things in the filming process of his upcoming film next year, full of smiles, and bursting out of enthusiasm in his black pupils." ”
On July 14, 2015, Haruma Miura (center), director Shinji Higuchi (left), and actor Yoshiko Mizuhara promoted "Attack on Titan" in Hollywood.
No one could have predicted how much loss and mental stimulation the flood of bad reviews would bring to him. In 2016, he starred in stage plays again, playing Lola in "Boots Demon", changing into women's clothes and putting on heavy makeup to become a powerful drag queen. The negative emotions brought about by the previous bad reviews seem to have been dissolved in Lola's free dance steps.
In numerous talk shows and interviews, Haruma Miura's image has been perfected and enriched to a certain extent: he thinks that his name comes from the spring of the Year of the Horse, and his mother tells him that he actually wants him to become a "vigorous horse flying to the sky"; he hates cockroaches, resists coriander, likes to eat hot pot, and his best dishes are fried chicken, grilled tuna, and boiled eggplant; he likes Showa folk songs and wants to play the role of a clown like Heath Ledger; he will wonder if he has a family and has children ten years later. Actress Matsuoka said that no matter what happens, he will definitely actively find a way."
At the age of 4, he was sent to the acting office by his mother. At the age of 7, he played the role of a passenger for the first time in an NHK morning drama, in which he buried his head in a rice ball and ate it. Since then, he has had new TV series come out almost every year. He said he was "very happy when acting, but with the staff, producers, and directors on the scene, I didn't dare to talk to them, or I didn't know where I was." Sometimes I can't understand what they say."
Gintama 2 (2018)
When he was 20 years old, Haruma Miura mentioned in the show that his dream was to "be a censor of the NHK Red and White Song Club", because he cooperated with Ichikawa Kailaozo in elementary school, and seeing that he was very handsome as a red and white examiner, he wrote his wish on the elementary school graduation essay. Talking about the feelings of the 20-year-old, he said that there is no pressure now, adults can drink, you can also talk about a lot of interesting things, passports can be changed from dark blue for minors to red, which is valid for ten years.
It was also on his birthday that year, and he left a message to himself ten years later: "To myself in 10 years." Are you happy every day? Is it good to hold precious things in your arms? If you become someone who does everything with all your might, I'll be happy. In short, please remain a strong person, holding precious things tightly in your arms. ”
Serenade (2019)
His social media is filled with his film and television campaigns, song release messages and clean smiles. In the days of the epidemic, he encouraged everyone not to forget to smile. In the days of the college entrance examination, he also sent a microblog to wish the candidates a smooth college entrance examination. During a live broadcast a few months ago, he played guitar in his closet and sang to fans.
In an interview, the 28-year-old said, "As I get older, I do feel that the roles I can play are increasing. However, I don't want to rely on that either. When I was young, I always thought about 'getting married before 30 years old', 'at least at 30 years old, being able to master the level of English for daily conversation', and now that I am about to turn 30, I think how to fight after 30 years old is more important. Although I will continue to learn English conversation, in addition, I will also learn the fight scene with a trusted master, and I will also actively go to the art gallery to learn. In short, although I am exposed to a lot of things now, I still want to absorb more and more kinds of things. (Laughs) That is to say, do not care about your age, but follow your own heart and honestly follow your instinctive desires. ”
"The Beginning of Money Breaks" (2020, unreleased)
On his 30th birthday, he updated his status on social media, "I'm ready to say goodbye to my thirties. Next, we must also present our hardest self in the work scene... Thank you to the people who have always cared about me, and my fans. Although I am still immature, please pay more attention to it next. ”
On July 18, 2020, he was found hanging himself in a closet playing guitar.
His battle was over.
