The official website for the upcoming live-action film adaptation of Gamon Sakurai's Ajin: demi-Human sci-fi action manga series has confirmed that a spin-off short story featuring Izumi Shimomura, one of the female Ajins played by 22-year-old ex-AKB48 member Rina Kawaei, will be streamed on LINE LIVE early next month.

The video is produced as LINE LIVE's 10th collaboration project with TV Tokyo's "○○ to Shin Douga" (New Video Created by Someone) that introduces smartphone movies created by Japanese artists and actors. The upcoming "New Video with Rina Kawaei, Created by Yoshikazu Kimura" is all filmed with smartphones instead of the standard movie cameras.

The spin-off story is directed by Yoshikazu Kimura (KG: Karate Girl), and Kawaei reportedly played all action scenes by herself without the help of stunts.
