Although it might seem the amount of family drama would result in a certain over-saturation of the market, the sub-genres tendency to touch upon issues of personal as well as national identity along with a wide range of social themes, make the family unit one of the most lasting metaphors of our time. Within the last couple of years, international audiences have seen the various facets of said metaphor, for example, in Hirokazu Kore-eda’s highly successful “Shoplifters”, which also shed a light to the “invisible” members of our society and their problems. In that regard, Michio Koshikawa’s feature “After the Sunset” has to be seen in a similar light, as the story of the film deals with family issues, while its themes of identity may reflect a much wider search for identity and the re-affirmation of the concept of home.

Based on two of the six stories included in Kanae Minato’s collection Bokyo, “Homecoming” is a distinct, Japanese family drama that tries to connect the two stories in the same narrative, through a rather interesting approach. Let us take things from the beginning though.
Homecoming is screening at Japannual Festival
The story begins with Wataru returning to his home island after 8 years, which once housed an important shipyard, as a teacher. The first person he meets there is an old acquaintance, Mutsuko, with the two of them seeming to share a past. The narrative then changes path, and focuses on Mutsuko and her past, starting with her childhood, as the granddaughter of the richest family in the island.
Her life though, was nothing but happy, since the constant arguments between her mother and her mother placed a constant tension in the house, with little Mutsuko also getting “in the line of fire.

Sherlock Holmes has seen countless screen adaptations and spinoffs across the world, but for the first time, the iconic British private detective will be reincarnated as a woman for Asian audiences.
HBO Asia will on Friday premiere <em>Miss Sherlock</em>, which also marks the network's first Japanese production, featuring eight episodes shot over a period of four months. In addition to starring actress Yuko Takeuchi as the titular Miss Sherlock, the series' equivalent of Dr. John Watson is also played by a woman (portrayed by actress Shihori Kanjiya).

You can go ahead and add Yuko Takeguchi’s name to the growing list of stars synonymous with the great Sherlock Holmes.
That’s because HBO Asia and Hulu Japan are mounting a radical new interpretation of Arthur Conan Doyle’s famous sleuth, one that not only relocates Mrs. Holmes to modern-day Tokyo, and therefore far, far away from 221b Baker Street, but also flips the gender.
Its name? Miss Sherlock, and it’s headed for the small screen in April. Headed up by Takeguchi as the world-famous detective, the hour-long, eight-part drama is similar to the BBC’s rendition of Sherlock in that it takes place in a modern-day setting, where Takeguchi’s titular lead must call upon her “extraordinary observation and reasoning skills.”
She won’t do so alone, of course, as Miss Sherlock also includes an Asian version of Watson (or Wato Tachibana) to be played by Shihori Kanjiya,...

The official website for Toru Hosokawa’s upcoming island survival movie Paikaji Nankai Sakusen has been updated with a trailer.
Based on a 2004 novel by Makoto Shiina which has been described as modern spin on Robinson Crusoe, the film stars Sadao Abe as a cameraman named Sasaki who decides to take a trip to an island in southern Japan to cheer himself up after being laid off.
After he gets drunk with some campers one night, he wakes up to discover he’s been relieved of all his money and possessions. Later, he meets a young man from the city named Okkochi (Kento Nagayama), the Kansai dialect-speaking Apa (Shihori Kanjiya), and Kimi (Nozomi Sasaki) and the four of them begin a life of island survival together.
One day, Sasaki hears a rumor of the four homeless campers who stole his stuff, and he begins formulating an intricate plan to both...

Eita (27) and Kenichi Matsuyama (25) will be co-starring as train otaku in a new movie by Yoshimitsu Morita (The Family Game, The Mamiya Brothers) called Bokutachi Kyuko: A-Ressha de Ikou.
Pictured left are Matsuyama and Eita, sporting “pair look” cardigans and fully ensconced in their new dweebish personas. In the film, their characters meet each other by chance while riding on the same train.
Morita, himself a train enthusiast since childhood, has been planning the film for several decades and reportedly intends to incorporate 80 different trains in the film.
Additional cast members include Keiko Matsuzaka (58) and Shihori Kanjiya (24). In keeping with Morita’s own enthusiasm, most of the main characters in the film have been named after Shinkansen and limited express trains such as “Kodama”. “Komachi”, “Azusa”, and “Hokuto”.
Filming began in early September and wrapped on October 19th. A theatrical release is slated for next fall.

[Parade screens at Japan Society in NYC Tonight, July 9th at 9pm and July 10 at noon. Isao Yukisada will introduce and give a Q&A at both screenings, and on July 10 he will be joined by actor Tatsuya Fujiwara. Click here for more info and tickets! Our thanks to Christopher Bourne for the review.]
Isao Yukisada's unsettling new film Parade at first plays like a sitcom about a bunch of roommates crammed into a tiny apartment, but eventually takes a much darker turn.
The action mostly revolves around that apartment, illegally shared by a group of people who represent a cross-section of Japanese youth. The owner of the apartment is Naoki (Tatsuya Fujiwara), a straight-laced teetotaler who works at a film distribution company, and who by all appearances is the most stable of the inhabitants. Less so is the unemployed Kotomi (Shihori Kanjiya), who spends most of her time waiting by the phone for a call from her distant actor lover, obsessively watching the soap opera he stars in. Aimless college student Ryosuke (Keisuke Koide) pursues a doomed relationship with his best friend's girlfriend, while Mirai (Karina), an illustrator with a seemingly permanent chip on her shoulder, spends her nights hanging out in gay bars,...
