Just watched the new trailer and I am very, very disappointed. 
I was happy to see that Shun Oguri and Mocomichi Hayami have been added to the cast along with a few other former students from Season One, however, where is Sawada Shin? It just wouldn’t be Gokusen without Yankumi’s #1 student. He is the one that I want to return the most!! 
I know Jun-kun is extremely busy now, focusing on his drama and Arashi’s 10th year anniversary. I absolutely love him for that, but Sawada Shin is an extremely important character in the history of Gokusen, he needs to appear. I’m truly hoping that he can make a cameo, even a mere 5 seconds would be wonderful. Maybe they will surprise us, let’s keep our fingers crossed.

Love the action and Kame-sensei, will definitely see it, but I still long for Sawada!!

Heya, I am Fiona or Fiona-chan, a 28-ish Chinese-American gal who loves dramas & movies, video games, manga & anime, music, writing, history, all things geek and Japanese. My true indulgences include dark chocolate, Miki Shinichiro, and Arashi (fangirling since 2008).
I share your disappointment. Gokusen is NOT complete without Shin-kun in it.
Yeah, I’m still hoping that Shin-kun will somehow appear, maybe at the end of the movie. He would walk in with smirk and Yankumi would said, Sawada? Then, the ending credits would start rolling, leaving the rest to our imaginations.
…but having Uchi-kun and Noda-kun added is awesome; Ryu-kun as a sensei is interesting as well. I’m quite curious to what they have become.
