Suwingu gâruzu (2004)
swing girls
I've looking forward to seeing this movie because movie director of this movie is Yaguchi Shinobu, who made "water boys", a big hit movie in Japan. The stage of this movie is Yamagata. Yamagata is my hometown and characters in the movie speak in a country dialect, so I feel close to this movie. This movie focus on a blass band club in a highschool. Because of unexpected things, students who receive supplementary tuition are forced to become a member of a blass band club and to perticipate in tornament. At first, they are beginners of cource and totally dull. However, they practice hard and improve in a moment. On the stage of the tornament, they perfome grate jazz and audience are all standing ovation. I was very impressed by the movie and I want everyone to see this movie!

This is a movie about a snowman in the snowdome. I think everyone has seen this toy, snowdome. This movie's show time is only a fer minutes, but the mind of snowman changes many times. One day, the snowman lives his life as usual but suddenly he find beautiful doll outside of snowdome. He wants to meet and talk to her, so he tries to escape in many ways. He manages to escape but he fall into a gold fish bowl. However, he find other beautiful doll in it and he jumps for joy. Unfortunately, the snowdome falls into a gold fish bowl too and hang over him. He must begin all over again. Color is vivid and picture is cute, so I think not only children but all people can enjoy this movie.
Fish Out of Water (2009)

If you have the title "Fish out of water", you may imagine a story of fish. However, this story isn't about a fish, but a man who works in a company. He rows a boat every day and goes to his company every day. Perhaps because he commuted by car before, he is always irritated because of a traffic jam, so he calmly commutes by a boat. One day, a strange woman waits for him to row a boat in front of a wharf. He is compelled to get into a boat with her and rows. On the next day, more people wait. He is irritated to commute by boat. Then he just hits upon a good idea. He starts to commute by swimming like a fish! He enjoys commuting by swim because someone don't interrupt him.
The Errand (2010)
the errand
This movie is a heart warming story about close bond of family and makes us think about something.This movie starts from the scene that a girl buys a pack of cigarettes on her way home from school. We can imagine she bought for her father because of the title of the movie. However, we feel strange that a young girl buys cigarettes. The hero of the story is a girl, about five years old. Her father ask his girl to buy cigarettes and she buy for her father. She is young so maybe she doesn't know how bad cigarettes are. She wants to be helphul for him. She only knows if her father smokes, he will die. So I feel her conflict and think about the close bond of family.
Whacked (1998)
whacked
This is a movie with no dialogue, only an image and music, so we need to guess intension of a story from the images. This is the story of a man who work in a driving range and pick up golf balls. There is change of scene. In a town, many people is walking. Suddenly, one people collapses on the spot because something hits her, no people, something. This thing repeats and some people is knoked by something. At last, we understand what thing hit many people had. It is a golf ball. Why we understand it that a golf ball rolls across a road after people collapse. There is change of scene. A man who work in a driving range hit a golf ball from the roof top to the town! Finally we understand that people collapsed on the spot being hit by a ball hit by a man. I was surprised by a sincerity and this movie makes me nervous and interesting.
Father and Daughter (2000)
father and mother
This is a movie which is only image and music, no dialogue or narration. The hero of a movie is a father and a daughter. This movie starts from the scene that the father and his daughter came to a riverside by bicycle, and he said good bye to her there. He got into a boat and went for away. The daughter got into a bicycle again and returned the way they had come. She looks very sad. She come to the riverside every day to make sure whether her father returned or not. As time passes, she gets older. She comes to there by bicycle when it was rainy day, she gets married, finally she becomes an old woman. However, her father does not come back to her. Music makes the movie more sad. She went the way before river and surprisingly she got younger and younger. At the end of the movie, she can meat her father again. I couldn't understand where her father had gone and why they met again, but I was impressed by the movie
