SYNOPSIS
“Dear Doctor”（2009）
【Dir】 NISHIKAWA Miwa 【Cast】 SHOFUKUTEI Tsurube, Eita, YO Kimiko, YACHIGUSA Kaoru
A young doctor, a recent graduate of a Tokyo medical school is assigned as an intern to a small mountain village. Tidy rice
paddies layer the mountainside and there’s not a store in sight. It is a typically under-populated village with a majority of
elderly villagers. There, he encounters Ino, a veteran doctor who is awfully friendly.
“Dog in a Sidecar”（2007）
【Dir】 NEGISHI Kichitaro 【Cast】 TAKEUCHI Yuko, MATSUMOTO Hana, FURUTA Arata
Kaoru looks back on her summer holidays in her 4th year at school 20 years ago. During the holidays, her mother suddenly
left home. Instead, Yoko-san appeared. She is bold, easy-going, not bothered by details and jauntily drives a German-made
Road Racer. Shy and introvert Kaoru is gradually attracted to Yoko whose character is completely opposite to hers.
“Feel the Wind”（2009）
【Dir】 OMORI Sumio 【Cast】 KOIDE Keisuke, HAYASHI Kento, NAKAMURA Yuichi
Anyone would agree, that the challenge they undertook was impossible. Haiji was an elite runner until his fateful injury. He
encounters Kakeru, a gifted runner who got kicked out from the track team after a trouble with his high school coach. Haiji
immediately feels that Kakeru is the runner that will make his dream come true.
“NORIBEN ~the Recipe of Fortune~ ”（2009）
【Dir】 OGATA Akira 【Cast】 KONISHI Manami, OKADA Yoshinori, MURAKAMI Jun
Komaki leaves her good-for-nothing husband and takes her daughter back to live with her mother at the home that she
was raised in. She doesn’t want to become a burden to her mother, so looks for a job. But there are few employment
opportunities for an over-30 single mother with no qualifications and no experience. The only thing she is good at is
making obento (lunch box).
“One Million Yen Girl”（2008）
【Dir】 TANADA Yuki 【Cast】 AOI Yu, MORIYAMA Mirai, Pierre TAKI
Suzuko graduates from a college, but without any skills to speak of, she becomes a job-hopping part-timer. Then she gets
convicted for a trivial incident and neighbors and her family treat her as a nuisance. Suzuko decides to save up one million yen
to leave for somewhere where no one knows her, and then to move onto another town with another one million yen saved up.
“THE SUMMIT: A Chronicle of Stones”（2009）
【Dir】 KIMURA Daisaku 【Cast】 ASANO Tadanobu, KAGAWA Teruyuki, MATSUDA Ryuhei
The year is 1907. Shibasaki, renowned for his skills as a surveyor, is suddenly called to General Staff Headquarters,
where he receives orders to conquer Mt. Tsurugidake, the last uncharted region of Japan. The mountain stands 2,999m
above sea level and sometimes referred as “needle mountain” or “mountain of death” for its inaccessibility.
“YAMAZAKURA – The Cherry Tree in the Hills”（2007）
【Dir】 SHINOHARA Tetsuo 【Cast】 TANAKA Lena, HIGASHIYAMA Noriyuki, SHINODA Saburo
In the late Edo period, Noe has lost her first husband and under advisement, has married into the Isomura family.
However, Noe is unable to adapt to the family traditions, making her everyday life miserable. One day, on the way home
from visiting her aunt’s grave, she encounters a samurai under a wild cherry tree. The man cuts off a branch of the tree for
her.
“5 Centimeters per Second” （2007）
【Dir】 SHINKAI Makoto 【Cast】 MIZUHASHI Kenji, KONDO Yoshimi, HANAMURA Satomi
Tono Takaki and Shinohara Akari had been apart since they left elementary school, however, they kept in touch by

Akari lives. The train is delayed by heavy snow and he is alone in his carriage, as the time ticks away.
