Tired of living in their cramped apartment, Nana Igarashi (Kyoko Fukada) and her husband Daiki (Kenichi Matsuyama) decide to move to a cooperative house. With a much more spacious place to call home, the scuba instructor and her salaryman agree there couldn’t be a better time to start growing their little family. But having a baby isn’t as easy as it seems, especially not when they share space with such interesting neighbors.

Sharing the co-op with the Igarashis, the Komiyamas appear to be a happy, well-to-do family, but the truth couldn’t be more opposite. With Shinichiro (Toru Nomaguchi) out of work and Miyuki’s (Sei Matobu) spending habits out of control, the couple face a growing number of problems. But they’re not the only residents with issues. Not yet married, Ryoji (Hiroyuki Hirayama) and Chihiro (Maryjun Takahashi) have plans to spend a beautiful life together, but when Ryoji’s ex-wife passes, his estranged son must move in with them. Never expecting a child to enter their lives, Chihiro has a lot of adjusting to do if their impending marriage is ever going to work. Meanwhile, the co-op’s last couple faces problems of their own. Having spent his entire life living in the closet, Wataru (Hidekazu Mashima) has no plans of changing anytime soon. The polar opposite, Saku (Takumi Kitamura) wants nothing more than to live his life loud and proud, enjoying his life with Wataru to the fullest. But how can he do that when his partner refuses to acknowledge their relationship in public?

With each resident family dealing with their own set of life-changing issues, can Nana and Daiki find a way to help others while simultaneously working on their own problems? Or will the strain of living such a complicated life prove to be too much?

Based on an original story written by Mayumi Nakatani, “Residential Complex” is a 2018 family life drama directed by Aizawa Hideyuki.

Takada (Matsuda Ryuhei) is the perpetually tired but loyal driver and karate-proficient companion of an unnamed hard-boiled private detective (played by Oizumi Yo) – a university dropout who has a reputation for taking up cases the police won’t touch.

One day, Takada receives a request to find a missing woman, and he and the detective agree to take the case. Their investigation leads them to a mysterious, seedy business owned by Mari Misaki (Keiko Kitagawa) – and with dark, underworld connections.

Mari Misaki and the detective have crossed paths before, but she has now become the lover of a gangland chief named Jinya Kitashiro (Lily Franky), ostensibly a local business leader. She appears to retain feelings for the detective, but is all as it seems?

Soon, gangland thugs are on the detective and Takada’s trail – while the crime-busting duo tries to get to bottom of the ever-more-unorthodox missing persons case.

This film is the third and final movie based on the “Susukino Detective” series of books by the novelist Naomi Azuma, and was the second sequel to “Phone Call to the Bar.”

“The Last Shot in the Bar” is a 2011 Japanese crime movie that was directed by Teruyuki Yoshida.

The Last Shot in the Bar

As students of dentistry at the local university, Hide (Masaki Suda), Navi (Ryusei Yokohama), Kuni (Ryo Narita), and Soh (Yosuke Sugino) were probably the least likely group of guys to come to mind, when anyone mentioned music. Just another group of average university students, living their average university lives, these four friends spent their days much the same as anyone else their age. Or did they?

While the world saw Hide, Navi, Kuni, and Soh as nothing more than a group of dental school students, the reality of their lives was quite different. Forming a band several years ago, the four friends had met with unexpected success after the independent release of their first album. Picked up by a major record label not long after, the band soon found its music topping the charts. But being successful doesn’t automatically make life easy. Struggling to find balance between family and friends, school and work, the four friends now find themselves wondering where things will go from here.&nbsp;

Working hard on their latest track, “Kiseki”, the band finds themselves forced to make some difficult decisions. Will the struggles they’re facing now turn out to be worth it in the end?&nbsp;

Based on the true story of the Japanese vocal group, GReeeeN, “Kiseki -Sobito of That Day-” is a 2017 film directed by Atsushi Kaneshige.
