Today it was announced that Kiyoshi Maekawa, Wakako Sakai and Yu Yamada will star in Tabi no Okurimono: Ashita e, a movie financed by a group of cities and companies in Fukui Prefecture.
The film is a human drama about three people facing hardships in their lives who travel to Fukui by train from Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka respectively.
Director Tetsu Maeda (School Days with a Pig) claims his goal for the project is to create an “adult fantasy” which will evoke feelings that people will value.
Maekawa will play the former executive director of a construction company’s design department. Fellow acting veteran Sakai will play a professional beautician on a business trip. Both actors claim the film’s story caused them to reminisce about their own lives and careers.
Yamada, who recently married actor Shun Oguri, plays a woman who is hesitant to get married.
