Trailer - Kaasan, Mom’s Life (Mainichi Kaasan) [English-subtitled]

The full trailer for Shotaro Kobayashi’s Kaasan, Mom’s Life has been released via the Yahoo! Japan Shochiku channel and the film’s official website. The film is based on an autobiographical manga by cartoonist Rieko Saibara which portrays the comical aspects of her family life and stars Kyoko Koizumi alongside her real-life ex-husband, Masatoshi Nagase.

Last year, IMJ and Avex released an adaptation of Onnanoko Monogatari, which starred Eri Fukatsu as a struggling cartoonist who reflects on her childhood friendships and Kadokawa released an adaptation of Saibara’s first picture book Ikechan to Boku.

On Saturday, Bitters End released Wandering Home, a film adaptation of an autobiographical novel by Saibara’s late ex-husband Yutaka Kamoshida. In that adaptation, the two leads are played by Hiromi Nagasaku and Tadanobu Asano, but the themes and events covered are very similar.

Shochiku will be releasing “Mainichi Kaasan” in Japan on February 5, 2011.
