…Seeing someone’s vulnerable spot is scary, but I want to touch it, because when you touch it makes sense, you can accept it and it isn’t scary anymore.

Touching the skin of eeriness (2013)

WOW. This movie is beautiful (easily skyrockets onto a favourite list). Ishida and Sometani both really know how to act, although Sometani still steals the spotlight for me (and he smokes in this film). I know this is a prequel to Floods, I have no idea what Floods is about but damn do I want to watch it. I highly recommend you watch this film. Its beautifully shot, captivating and intriguing and if your anything like me you'll want to watch it over and over again.

Touch the skin of the Uncanny | 不気味なものの肌に触れる

 (dir. Hamaguchi Ryosuke / 2013)

SOMETANI SHOTA and ISHIDA HOSHI star in the film. Both are terrific young actors and winners of Sponichi Grand Prize New Talent Award.

60th: Ishida Hoshi ("Canary")

66th: Sometani Shota ("A Liar and a Broken Girl")

Unfortunately I will probably never be able to see this film, since its only getting a limited release in Kansai, Unless it comes to international film festivals, I can forget about it.

Jiro Kanzaki is an F3000 test driver blessed with acute sensitivity and breathtaking driving techniques. He's a daredevil who feels no fear driving at speeds that even top racers dare not attempt. But unexpected trouble forces this world-famous racer to leave his team and return to Japan for the first time in years. Until he finds a new job as a racer, Jiro decides to stay with his parents. What awaits Jiro there is his hardheaded father, his nagging sister, the 12 children of the foster home his father runs, a snobbish male nurse, and a stubborn female nurse who likes to daydream about her life. Jiro's return home brings a breath of fresh air that influences the people around him. However, he is still unaware that he too will eventually be influenced to change the way he thinks and lives

Rate 10/10

Best 11 episodes. I laughed so hard at so many parts. Another highly recommended drama. Kimura Takuya is hilarious in this + the children's behavior. gahh I just finished this. Absolutely amazing.
