Sweeping 3.5 billion yen at the box office and 13 trophies at the Japan Academy Awards, Yamazaki Takashi’s nostalgic blockbuster Always - Sunset on Third Street was the runaway winner of 1995. The cast and crew return to even greater acclaim and box office in 2007 with Always - Sunset on Third Street 2. Based on Saigan Ryohei’s popular manga, Always 2 picks up the story shortly after the events of the first film, returning to the bustling lives of the residents of Third Street as they carve out their own small worlds in 1959 Japan. The film has the same winning formula of heartwarming drama and stunning CGI, recreating the sights, sounds, and sentiments of 1950s Japan with crowd-pleasing precision. The second time around, the characters feel like old friends thanks to great performances from the returning cast of Tsutsumi Shinichi, Yakushimaru Hiroko, Horikita Maki (Hanazakari no Kimitachi e), Koyuki (The Last Samurai), child actor Suga Kenta, and of course Yoshioka Hidetaka, who won his second Best Actor trophy at the 2008 Japan Academy Awards with the same role.
Bad-tempered, but soft-hearted garage owner Suzuki (Tsutsumi Shinichi) isn’t any closer to becoming the next Toyota, though country girl Rokko (Horikita Maki) is shaping up to be a great mechanic, and attracting some romantic attention, too. Suzuki’s family of four plays host to seven-year-old relative Mika (Koike Ayame), but the spoiled city girl is less than impressed with their humble living conditions. Across the lane, struggling writer Chagawa Ryunosuke (Yoshioka Hidetaka) wants to prove himself to adopted son Junnosuke (Suga Kenta) and romantic interest Hiromi (Koyuki). Desperately holding on to his makeshift family and fading dreams, Chagawa is aiming for nothing less than the Akutagawa Prize with his great Japanese novel - and all his neighbors seem to be in it somehow. The frustrating process and financial worries, however, are more likely to push him to the end of the road than great literary fame.

Waruboro [Jmovie] (Matsuda Shota, Aragaki Yui)

Matsuda Shota and Aragaki Yui take audiences back to rough-and-tumble high school days in their new film Waruboro. Based on Gets Itaya’s autobiographical novel, this brawling youth film about love, friendship, and fisticuffs is set in the 1980s, and Matsuda Shota and company have the hairstyles to prove it. Rising to fame after Hana Yori Dango, Matsuda took supporting gigs in 2006’s A Cheerful Gang Turns the Earth and A Long Walk, and he gets his first leading film role here as a rebellious juvenile delinquent. Matsuda’s Ko-chan crosses paths with girl-next-door Yamada, played by current it-girl Aragaki Yui who won Best New Performer accolades at the 50th Blue Ribbon Awards for her impressive 2007 trifecta of Waruboro, Koizora, and Koisuru Madori (which incidentally co-starred Matsuda Shota’s brother, Matsuda Ryuhei). Directed by Sumida Yasushi, Waruboro also features up-and-coming heartthrobs Kimura Ryo and Seiji Fukushi from Nodame Cantabile and D-BOYS members Kaji Masaki and Shirota Yu (The Prince of Tennis).

Shinku - Deep red [Jmovie] (Rina Uchiyama, Fumiyo Kohinata, Maki Horikita)
Title: Shinku (aka The Deep Red)
Starring: Rina Uchiyama, Fumiyo Kohinata, Asami Mizukawa, Maki Horikita
Released: 10th February 2006

Synopsis
With a title that means “deep red” in Japanese, Shinku is certainly an appropriate name for the movie considering its bloody subject matter. Boasting a screenplay by the late novelist Nozawa Hisashi (who committed suicide in 2004) and based on his identically titled book, Shinku is a compelling drama that focuses on the strange relationship that develops between two people who find their lives irrevocably changed as a result of a horrible multiple homicide. The first person traumatized is the lone survivor of the terrible family bloodbath, a girl who grows up to be a pretty college student played by Uchiyama Rina (from the TV series “Musashi”). The second person affected by this heinous crime is the daughter of the murderer, a young girl who ends up becoming a tattooed bartender played by Mizukawa Asami (from Go and 69). A full decade after the crime, the killer is finally going to be executed, and the surviving member of the massacre decides to reach out and befriend the murderer’s daughter. A tentative, odd sort of friendship blossoms between these two people, both of whom seem to have little in common personally, and every reason in the world for not wanting to meet. Yet they do, but not without reservations. And really, is this friendship quite what it seems? Or is it all part of some twisted plan for vengeance? As the dramatic tone of the film soon transforms from social drama into pure terror and blood-splattering horror, audiences are taken on a whirlwind ride to a dark destination they could not have expected. With a unbelievable climax, Shinku is a terrifying, atmospheric, and eerily realistic tale of psychological terror that will leave audiences breathless!
