Movie trailer for 2014 Japanese comedy Judge!, starring Satoshi Tsumabuki, Keiko Kitagawa, Lily Franky, Kyoka Suzuki and Etsushi Toyokawa.

Tsumabuki plays a rookie in an advertising agency who’s being planted as a judge in a prestigious competition by his boss in order to gain an edge.

Beside juggling between his conscience as a judge and his job “duty” for his firm, the rookie also has to act like husband with a fake wife who accompanied him to the judging event (in a close venue) to make sure that he does his work properly.

My Little Sweat Pea (2013) Japanese movie teaser

December 16, 2013 by Yein Jee

Teaser for upcoming Japanese film Mugiko-san to (My Sweet Little Pea). Directed by Keisuke Yoshida and stars Maki Horikita, Ryuhei Matsuda and Kimiko Yo.

Plot

Mugiko (her name means little pea), who lives with her brother and works at a manga store, is dreaming to become a voice actress. One day, her mother whom she barely knew turns up and moves in with the siblings, causing discomfort.

Apparently the mum is really ill (not knowingly to her daughter) and wants to spend her last days with the family. Mugiko has to deliver her mother’s ashes back to her hometown after she passes away and discovers a lot more about her mother (and probably why she left when Mugiko was a kid) from her old friends.
