Eri Fukatsu, who won the Best Actress Award at the Montreal World Film Festival for her role, takes on challenging and heated love scenes, playing a woman (Mitsuyo) on the run with a murderer. Yuichi (Satoshi Tsumabuki) runs away after killing a woman (Hikari Mitsushima) he met on a dating website. He then meets Mitsuyo, a sales clerk. While the families of the victim and the assailant are left in agony, Mitsuyo becomes increasingly entangled in her relationship with Yuichi. Based on the popular comics by Shinichi Ishizuka, this drama spotlight is on mountain rescue operations. Oguri was a big fan of the original story, and he attempts ice wall climbing and rappelling in snow-covered mountains. His genuine performance gets across the severity and wonder of the mountains. Sanpo (Oguri), who volunteers as a mountain rescuer in the Northern Alps, has climbed the world’s famous peaks. His flaw is that he can be too easygoing, but, novice Kumi (Masami Nagasawa) from the Nagano Prefecture mountain rescue squad observes the way he works and learns that he is someone she can count on. © 2010 RAILWAYS Film Partners 2010 |130 min | Color | 35mm Director: Yoshinari NISHIKORI Executive Producer: Shuji ABE Cast: Kiichi NAKAI, Reiko TAKASHIMA, Yuika MOTOKARIYA 2008 |103 min | Color | 35mm Director: Shinobu YAGUCHI Producer: Daisuke SEKIGUCHI, Yoshino SASAKI, Shintaro HORIKAWA Cast: Seiichi TANABE, Saburo TOKITO, Haruka AYASE PEAK –The Rescuers 2011 / 132 min / Color | 35mm Director: Fumihiko SORI Executive Producer: Kazuya HAMANA Cast: Tomohisa YAMASHITA, Yusuke ISEYA, Karina SHIRAKI, Teruyuki KAGAWA Villain Railways Known for its previous production, ALWAYS-Sunset on Third Street- (Always San-chome no Yuhi) and the sequel, ROBOT Communications presents another heartwarming tale on the turning point of an elite business man in his fifties and a local train that has been running since 1911. Hajime (Kiichi Nakai) is next in line as head of a prominent electronics company. He works hard and barely has time for his family. But one day, his mother in Shimane was ill, and his best friend dies in an accident. Griefstricken, Hajime returns home—where memories of his childhood came back. He had always wanted to be a train conductor and drive the local “bataden” Ichibata Electric Railway. A hit maker Shinobu Yaguchi of Waterboys and Swing Girls unfolds his favorite entertaining group drama in this latest movie—Happy Flight which cannot be bundled in a usual category of aviation movies characterized as panic movies. The story deals with flight No.1980 bound for Honolulu from Japan. For Kazuhiro Suzuki (Seiichi Tanabe), the co-pilot, this is the final test to become a captain. For Etsuko Saito (Haruka Ayase), a newly recruited cabin attendant, it is a memorable debut on an international flight. However, the aircraft hits a bird after takeoff and is forced to turn back. Faced with yet another challenge - difficult landing conditions due to an approaching typhoon; finally, they managed to overcome with the help of the operation control center. The young crew in aviation-related occupations grew in experience after this bittersweet but fulfilling flight. © 2011 ASAO TAKAMORI, TETSUYA CHIBA / ”ASHITANO JOE” Film Partners PG 12 G G Happy Flight © 2011 TOHO CO., LTD. / TV ASAHI CORPORATION / SHOGAKUKAN INC. / Tristone Entertainment INC. / Shogakukan-Shueisha Productions Co., Ltd. / KDDI / HAKUHODO DY MEDIA PARTNERS INC. / THE MAINICHI NEWSPAPERS / NIPPON SHUPPAN HANBAI INC. / Asahi Broadcasting Nagano Co., Ltd. © 2005 Shinichi Ishizuka / Shogakukan © 2008 FUJITELEVISION / ALTAMIRA PICTURES / TOHO / DENTSU Tomorrow’s Joe A live-action adaptation of Takamori Asao and Chiba Tetsuya’s eponymous comic, regarded as a brilliant achievement in Japanese manga history.
