Shinsuke has been going on with his uneventful daily life, with "synesthesia" being the only symptom differentiating him from others. He keeps the dark depth of his mind to himself, but feels distant even from his best friend and his fiancee. Mari has also been feeling deep solitude from experiencing synesthesia which she feels she is unable to share with anyone. Her parents have passed away, and her adoptive parents mysteriously die, one by one. Picasso, the "dealer of death" comes into scene as mysterious incidents and murder occur one after another. Shinsuke suspects that Mari is being followed by Picasso, and that she may be the next victim. Shinsuke and Mari's fateful meeting upturns their lives and leads them to tragedy.
Love, sex, and the confusing gray area in between marks the playing field for this low-key comedy-drama.. Chinatsu (Okuno Mika) is a twenty-something lesbian who shares an apartment with Kyoko (Chika Fujimura). Chinatsu is attracted in passing to Kyoko, who occasionally returns her affections, but Kyoko is primarily interested in men -- though she has trouble getting one to stay interested in her. The excitable Kyoko is fixated upon a man who watches over the fish at a pet shop, but try as she might, she can't seem to get him to pay much attention to her, causing her no end of problems.
Raunchy comedy/drama starring pop idol Lim Chang-jung (see JAKARTA) as a hapless college schlub who falls for Miss Popularity, who conveniently happens to be dating the biggest prick on campus and is therefore blind to Lim's hopeless overtures until she gets knocked up and beaten silly by her embarrassed mother. Often feels like an idealized male-centric filmization of the director's unrequited college romance, except that here the dream girl is made to suffer unspeakable anguish before she wises up to the man who really cares about her.
Hana and Alice are inseparable friends until Miyamoto, a cute boy they spot at a train station, comes between them. Tricking Miyamoto into believing that he is suffering from amnesia, Hana claims that she is his girlfriend. A baffled Miyamoto struggles to regain his memories as he is drawn to the prettier Alice. When the bond deepens, the girls' lifelong relationship begins to fray... propelling them apart.

nergy-packed, pants-pissing funny, live-action manga adaptation that leaves no special effect unexploited to push the filmmakers’ artistic freedom to its limits. Amidst a curiously Dutch scenery, three prim girls at St. Michael’s Academy discover their magic powers while waging an insane battle between good and evil. The result is shamelessly hilarious and billed as the Japanese answer to Charlie’s Angels.
Based upon a play by Hideo Tsuchiya. A group of swindlers pull off a heist but misplace their goods while on a getaway train (if you've ever been in Tokyo traffic, this sounds reasonable).
