jejeh Jul 09 2016 9:58 am I think I watch Mukai Osamu in this film, play as cameo, maybe.

Kuro Nov 22 2014 3:59 am Oh i love this show! and I really like the idea of the movie. This story is not your typical story; it's just a story of how life goes by. Really looking forward for the movie. judging from the trailer, it looks sooooo good and i like them using yellow filter. making it look vintage :)

Kaiamar Nov 08 2014 10:23 pm I love this show. Really looking forward to the movie. Kobayashi Kaoru plays a true zen master and all the regulars are fun. I hope Odagiri Jo makes an appearance in the movie.
