The official website for Toru Yamamoto’s Good Morning Everyone! has been relaunched with a new teaser trailer.

Based on a novel by Toriko Yoshikawa, the movie stars Kumiko Aso as a former punk rock guitarist named Aki who lives with her 15-year-old daughter Hatsuki (Ayaka Miyoshi), who she shares a friend-like relationship with.

One day, Aki’s former bandmate Yagu (Yo Oizumi) returns home after being overseas for two years and Hatsuki soon starts getting irritated by the way Aki puts up with Yagu’s carefree lifestyle.

Meanwhile, Hatsuki is upset about her best friend Tomo transferring to a new school—a situation Aki and Yagu can relate to.

“Good Morning Everyone!” will be released by Showgate in Japan this December.

With Naoko Ogigami’s Rent-a-Cat out today in Japan, distributor Suurkiitos is pulling no punches in the attempt to woo cat lovers. This new 3-minute special preview video is packed wall-to-wall with cats.

The movie stars Mikako Ichikawa as a woman named Sayoko who rents out a few of her many, many cats to lonely people in town. Sayoko has spent most of her life bouncing between quirky side jobs while living in her late grandmother’s cat-filled house in the corner of town.

The new trailer for Mika Ninagawa’s Helter Skelter has been uploaded to YouTube. Jiji Press has included a short behind the scenes clip of Ninagawa coaching up her star Erika Sawajiri for one of many bonkers reaction shots.

Based on a manga by Kyoko Okazaki, the film stars Sawajiri as a beautiful model named Ririko who has reigned at the top of the entertainment world while assembling an ever-growing list of jealous rivals. However, she hides the fact that her appearance has been obtained almost entirely through radical plastic surgery procedures.

Ruriko closely guards her secret while navigating the dog-eat-dog world of the entertainment business, but she’ll soon be involved in a scandal that affects not only her industry, but society in general.

“Helter Skelter” will be released by Asmik Ace Entertainment in Japan on July 14, 2012.

“Another” is co-distributed by Toho and Kadokawa Pictures and will be released in Japan on August 4, 2012.
