Maryjun Takahashi

Born and raised in a small rural town, Nami Suzuki (Mone Kamishiraishi) has lived a very average, ordinary life. With no particular dreams and no real ambition, Nami doesn’t really want much out of life. If she can find moderate amounts of work and love, she’s convinced she’ll be happy.&nbsp;

In order to pursue that moderate love, Nami follows her childhood friend and long-time crush, Kenya (Inukai Atsuhiro) to Tokyo, where she hopes to get a job in the supply management department of the same publishing company where Kenya works. Unfortunately Nami’s plans don’t work out exactly the way she imagined they would. Rather than working in the supply management department, Nami is hired to work in the editorial department of one of the company’s fashion magazines. Not really taking her job seriously, Nami soon earns the scorn of her hard-working editor-in-chief, Reiko Horai (Nanao).

Rather than letting Reiko’s criticism get her down, Nami allows it to inspire her to have bigger dreams of her own. With her attitude about work gradually changing, Nami finds that her thoughts on love have also started to change, especially after meeting cameraman Junnosuke Horai (Yuta Tamamori). With a new-found determination now driving her, will Nami have what it takes to make her new-found dreams come true?

Oh My Boss! Love not included

Chasing Our Dream Team

Asami Inaba (Keiko Kitagawa) is an ordinary, unassuming office worker. One day, her boyfriend answers a phone call in a taxi, but is in such a rush that he leaves his cell phone behind him on the seat. She calls him later, but a stranger answers the phone instead. A couple of days later, the phone is returned and she thinks the matter is behind her.

But in fact, she soon comes to realize that someone has managed to access the phone, correctly guessing its passcode and then downloading all of its contents. This person now begins to stalk Asami Inaba, using data from the phone to open up chapters of her life she thought were completely private. Pulling on clues from the phone like a string, this mysterious person is somehow able to access her and her acquaintances’ social media pages and bank accounts – sowing the seeds of chaos in both her personal and financial life. To make matters worse, a spate of brutal killings has also begun...and the female victims all bear an uncanny resemblance to Asami Inaba!

“Stolen Identity” is a 2018 Japanese movie that was directed by Nakata Hideo.

Fuji TV

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.
