| Ongakuza's musical Metro ni Notte
has been made into a movie.
KONUMA Shinji is a middle-aged business man who works
for a small clothing company. His father is KONUMA
Sakichi, who started the Konuma Group, which in the
story becomes famous around the world. Under normal
circumstances, Shinji would take over the business,
but he was offended by his dictatorial father and
moved out of the family home. One night, as he is
climbing the stairs of a subway station, the story
goes back to same day in Showa 39 (1964) - the day
his elder brother, Shouichi, committed suicide.
This musical masterpiece, which the original author,
ASADA Jiro extolled as "200% satisfaction!"
is revived as a visually stunning movie.
The movie will open to the public from May 2008 in
movie theaters across the country.
