Ryo Yoshizawa, popular Japanese film star, sets a bold new role in the upcoming psychological thriller, 'National Treasure'. His character, a once passionate astronomer, grapples with Astrophobia (fear of meteors and celestial space). The unique plotline of the movie and Yoshizawa's compelling portrayal has created anticipatory buzz in Japan's entertainment industry.

Japan's film industry often explores complex psychological themes, and celebrity actors like Yoshizawa help attract broad demographics to these themes. Owing to the country's deep-rooted fascination with nature and natural phenomena, the theme of Astrophobia offers an interesting exploration of human fear and nature's magnanimity.

In the US or EU, similarly, nuanced roles acquired by well-known actors in unique psychological thrillers garner considerable attention and popularity. However, the explicit focus on Astrophobia, a less common theme, may be seen as more unique to Japan given its traditional fascination with the celestial universe.
