Sono toki wa kare ni yoroshiko (2007)

Release date: June 2, 2007

Director: Yuichiro Hirakawa

 Cast: Masami Nagasawa, Takeshi Tsukamoto, Takayuki Yamada, Masaya Kikawada, Ryoko Kuninaka

   The romantic drama, Sono toki wa kare ni yoroshiko ( 「そのときは彼によろしく」) is based on a book written by Takuji Ichikawa that was originally published on October 4, 2007 by Shogakukan. The following is a synopsis for the movie as stated on the official site and translated by BEEF. SPOILER ALERT! There are some things that kinda give the movie away.

(This synopsis is detailed to the point of being a spoiler.  Character names are best guesses.)

   "In keeping with a vow made with a childhood friend, Tooyama Satoshi (Yamada Takayuki), a decent young man, has followed their dream by opening the aqua plants (water plants) shop named "Trash". One day the supermodel Morikawa Suzune (Nagasawa Masami) suddenly turns up at this "Trash". Although uncomfortable with it, Satoshi starts a strange cohabitation with Suzune, but somehow she seems to be just what he was missing. This is as can be expected, because Suzune happens to be Takagawa Karin, the childhood friend he got separated from. Although belated, their reunion is a joyous meeting for Satoshi and Karin. However, the two also had another close friend in their childhood days.

   Ikazaki Yuuji (Tsukamoto Takashi), who had promised to become a painter. Then fate puts the three sided prism back into motion, when the whereabouts become known of Yuuji, with whom they've lost contact. The two immediately go out to meet Yuuji, but it turns out that an accident has left him comatose. And at the same time Karin's secret comes to light. She only has a little time left...."

Momoko Katsuragi

  Momoko Katsuragi is Yuuji Ikazuki's (Takeshit Tsukamoto) girlfriend in the film. This part is definitely a smaller role with bigger Japanese actors taking the leads. Although the official site includes Keiko's name on the shortened version of the cast listing, she doesn't appear in the teasers or trailer for the movie.
