Manami Konishi's latest film is "Sakebi" (scheduled to be shown in Spring 2007), directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa; the film has received the official invitation for the 63rd Venice Film Festival in 2006.

In addition to her stage and film work, Manami is quite well-known in Japan for appearances in numerous hit soap operas including "Tentai kansoku" (Fuji TV / 2002), "Hotman" (TBS /2003), and "Ruri no shima" (NTV /2005).
