"If I were xx, what would you do?” That’s the concept for a candid reaction program interviewing people on the street as well as celebrities. For example, what if a popular celebrity dressed up as a regular store clerk? Or what happens when a slightly tipsy husband decides to ask his wife if she loves him. What is her response? Will she reciprocate or not? Here is a show where people’s candid reactions repeatedly defy the imagination.
「만약○○라면 당신은 어떻게 할것인가?」라는 컨셉으로거리에서 만난 일반인이나 연예인들의 리액션을 촬영하는 프로그램. 만약 변장한 연예인이 가게점원이라면? 만약 술취한 남편이 「날 어떻게 생각해?」라고 부인에게묻는다면 「사랑한다」라고 말할까? 아니면…? 그런 여러가지 「만약」이 기획으로 등장한다. 순수한 리액션은우리들의 상상을 초월하는 놀라움의 연속이다!
這是在假設「如果…的話,你會怎麼做?」的情況下,拍攝在街頭巷尾偶遇的一般人和藝人真實反應的節目。如果商店裡的店員, 其實是藝人喬裝的呢?如果喝醉了的丈夫問妻子「你覺得我怎麼樣?」的話,妻子會不會說「我愛你」呢?各種有關「如果…?」的企畫將會登場。最真實的現場反應,將不斷帶給你異想天開的笑料!

劇場版ATARU - THE FIRST LOVE & THE LAST KILL -

119 min.

New York. Ataru belongs to the Savant Program Branch of the FBI, which has just been hit by an explosive. Meanwhile, similar tactics have been used to blow up electric rail lines in Tokyo. Wheelchair-confined chief of the Tokyo Metropolitan Police, Akiho Hoshi, has just put agent Sawa and his team at the First Investigative Division on the case when Larry and Ataru appear on the investigation headquarters. According to Larry, the two bombing plots originated from a financial business zone in London, orchestrated via server by a computer virus dubbed "Wizard". The virus was developed by a Brazilian-Japanese named Madoka with whom Sawa and his force had previously crossed paths as a suspect in a serial murder case. Like Ataru, Madoka bears traits similar to those of a savant and was also formerly an SPB candidate who had received training. The two remotely perpetrated bombings put the FBI and Tokyo Metropolitan Police Agency in hot pursuit of Madoka.

What Happened to Our Nest Egg!?

老後の資金がありません!

115 min

The 2015 best-seller novel by Miu Kakiya has been adapted to film by director Tetsu Maeda (“A Banana? At This Time of Night?”). As of April, 2020, the book has sold over 260,000 copies.
In Japan, it is said you need 20 million yen saved up for retirement. Though everyone has their worries about the future, not many openly talk about it. This film comically depicts this problem through the eyes of a respectable-looking family that’s actually a bit dysfunctional.

The main character, Atsuko, is your average housewife who believes in frugality. She has a husband, Akira, who’s quite clueless about the family budget, a daughter who works part-time, and a son in college. Though Atsuko had been saving up for retirement, she gets in an argument with her sister-in-law and her husband one day, and she ends up having to pay 4 million yen for her father-in-law’s funeral. As if that’s not enough, her husband’s company goes bankrupt, she gets fired from her part-time job, her daughter wishes for a lavish wedding with her fiancé who’s in a heavy metal band, and her big-spending mother-in-law moves in. The family’s savings dwindle by the day.
Problems between husband and wife, parent and child, wife and mother-in-law, a child’s marriage, a child moving out, caring for a parent, and funerals… These are all problems that everyone faces. As the family is hit by one dilemma after another, they struggle and torment themselves in order to overcome adversity.
