Directed by Miwa Nishikawa

Initially furious Kanya suddenly has an eureka moment, and wonders if lightning can strike...

From Yahoo! Japan comes the trailer for Yume Uru Futari, the latest movie by director and screenwriter Miwa Nishikawa (Sway, Dear Doctor).
Takako Matsu and Sadao Abe star as Satoko and Kanya (or maybe Nukiya?), a married couple who live a happy life together running their small Tokyo eatery until they lose everything in a fire.
When Kanya spends the night with a regular customer, Satoko immediately comes up with a plan: she’ll have her husband commit marriage fraud to earn enough money to get back on their feet financially. Together, they take advantage of lonely women and swindle each out of large sums of money, but their activities soon begin to cast a shadow on their own relationship.
“Yume Uru Futari” will be released by Asmik Ace Entertainment in Japan on September 8, 2012.
Update: Replaced with a shiny new 1080p YouTube embed...

Today more cast members were announced for Miwa Nishikawa’s next film Yume Uru Futari. The new additions are Yusuke Iseya, Teruyuki Kagawa, and Tsurube Shofukutei.
Kagawa has previously worked with Nishikawa in both Sway and Dear Doctor, the latter of which starred Shofukutei.
Although Iseya hasn’t appeared in any of her films, they did work together on the set of Distance in 2001 when she was Hirokazu Kore-eda’s assistant director.
Today also saw the release of a new poster for the film. It features the two main stars—Sadao Abe and Takako Matsu—looking particularly shell-shocked with a small tagline under them which translates to something like “Humanity’s greatest enigma, man and woman”.
In the film, their characters are a married couple who conspire to commit marriage fraud. The targets of their scam are played by Lena Tanaka, Sawa Suzuki, Tae Kimura, Tamae Ando, and Yuka Ebara,...
