This story revolves
around 4 friends who stay together in a one bed room apartment in the summer of
1962. All five are artists who just can’t seem to make themselves progress in
their work; Muraoka Eisuke (Ninomiya Kazunari) a manga artist, actually
talented and the only one who actually earns something with his work, Mukai
Ryuzo (Sakurai Sho) a novelist, who isn’t able to write anything, Inoue Shoichi
(Aiba Masaki) a musician who failes every audition, and has something going on
with Tokie (Kashii Yu) the daughter of the ramen shop owner, and Shimokawa Kei
(Ohno Satoshi) a painter, with talent but isn’t able to sell anything.
The four try hard
to earn money and live together, but dreams are hard to make come true, and
sometimes reality can hit you to the curve…
Okay, I started
this at least 5 times before actually got a grip and continued it. This is
sooooo Japanese and has all the factors of adulthood in it. Again the subjects
about dream, love and future are in this, except it’s not just the focus. I can’t
really explain it; you seriously follow four guys (Matsumoto is a special appearance
sometimes) who just live through every day, imagining HOW to start to make
their dreams come true, and what’s worst, none of them have the money to buy
food. So the only one buying the food is also the only one with a job! LOL.. It’s
interesting… hahah.. Actually very enjoyable! :)
