Teaser - Renai Gikyoku: Watashi to Koi ni Ochite Kudasai

A bit late in posting this one, but late last month a teaser trailer was released for Shoji Kokami’s upcoming comedy Renai Gikyoku: Watashi to Koi ni Ochite Kudasai.

Based on Kokami’s own hit stage play, the film stars Kyoko Fukada as a selfish, but talented screenwriter named Mayumi Taniyama who’s been suffering from a severe case of writer’s block. One day she’s visited by a hapless television producer and enthusiastic admirer of her work named Mukai (Kippei Shiina), who tells her he’ll do anything to get her to write a script for him. In response, she bluntly requests that he fall in love with her.

Confusingly, Fukada’s role is broken into three different parts: Taniyama, the lonely housewife in her script, and the beautiful woman in the fictional housewife’s script.

Showgate will be releasing Renai Gikyoku in Japan on September 25, 2010.
