Teaser - Norwegian Wood (Norway no Mori) with Mastuyama Kenichi and Kikuchi Rinko
The official website for Anh Hung Tran’ film adaptation of Haruki Murakami’s 1987 novel Norwegian Wood has been updated with a brief teaser.
According to the current Japanese blurb, the film begins with 37-year-old Toru Watanabe on a plane bound for Germany. He listens to the Beatles song “Norwegian Wood (This Bird Has Flown)” and begins to think about his youth.
Back in high school, Toru (Kenichi Matsuyama) was best friends with Kizuki, who was dating Naoko (Rinko Kikuchi). After Kizuki suddenly commits suicide, Toru tries to escape his feelings of loss by going to a Tokyo university. However, while in Tokyo he’s reunited with Naoko.

Second teaser for "Raiou" starring Yu Aoi and Masaki Okada
The official website for Ryuichi Hiroki‘s Raiou has been updated with a second teaser trailer.
The film is based on a best-selling novel by Mari Ueza which itself was inspired by Shakespeare’s classic tale of star-crossed lovers, Romeo and Juliet. Masaki Okada plays a young man of high social standing named Narimichi who was born into the family of the shogunate. Yu Aoi plays a girl named Rai who has grown up deep in the mountains after being kidnapped as a young child. The two meet and fall in love, but their drastically different upbringings and the expectations of their respective families threaten to doom their relationship.
Several new cast members were announced earlier this week. Keisuke Koide (Rookies) will play Rai’s older brother Sukejiro, Akira Emoto will play Narimichi’s official aid, and Saburo Tokito will play the mysterious village headman who carried Rai off as a child.
Toho will be releasing “Raiou” in Japan on October 22, 2010.

Second teaser for "Kimi ga Odoru, Natsu" starring Junpei Mizobata and Haruka Kinami
The official website for Hideyuki Katsuki‘s Kimi ga Odoru, Natsu was recently updated with a second teaser trailer. It’s actually a bit shorter than the first teaser, but it features a few new bits of footage.
As Tokyograph reported last August, the film stars Junpei Mizobata as an aspiring photographer named Shinpei who leaves his hometown in Kochi Prefecture to move to Tokyo. After he leaves, his former girlfriend Kaori (Haruka Kinami) discovers that Shinpei’s little sister Sakura (Ayane Omori) is terminally ill, which leaves it up to Shinpei to help Sakura fulfill her dream of dancing in the upcoming Yosakoi festival.
South Korean boy band TVXQ (known as Tohoshinki in Japan) provided the film’s theme, “With All My Heart”, which is featured in both teasers.
Toei will be releasing “Kimi ga Odoru, Natsu” in Japan on September 11, 2010.
