1) Film Synopsis: 5 Centimeters Per Second

After transferring to the same elementary school, Takaki and Akari became best friends. But when both families are forced to relocate, their lives change. After a year of separation, Takaki is about to reunite with Akari. Sitting on the train from Tokyo, with memories of the past rushing through as their meeting draws closer, Takaki and Akari begin to wonder if they will ever be able to see each other again, and share their secret feelings. Join Takaki on a journey in these three interconnected tales of love and lost innocence, which span across the minutes and months of their lives.

The title of the film, "5 Centimeters per Second", refers to the speed at which cherry blossoms fall from the trees, reminiscent of the slowness of life and how people often start together but slowly drift separate ways.

2) Film Synopsis: Always -Sunset on Third Street- 3

The year is 1964. With Tokyo preparing to host the Olympics, buildings and highways are being constructed at a feverish pace, and excitement fills the air. Amidst the change and commotion, the people of Third Street carry on with their lives, colourful and vibrant as ever.

The novelist Ryunosuke Chagawa (Hidetaka Yoshioka) has married Hiromi (Koyuki), and they now share a happy life with Junnosuke (Kenta Suga), the young boy he had taken in during the first film. Hiromi is pregnant, and the family prepares to welcome a new family member. Chagawa continues to write his serial, but his popularity is threatened by a new writer and he begins to sink into a rut.

Meanwhile, Norifumi Suzuki (Shinichi Tsutsumi), his wife Tomoe (Hiroko Yakushimaru), their only son Ippei (Kazuki Koshimizu) and their live-in employee Mutsuko Hoshino (Maki Horikita) have gradually expanded their auto repair business, which has gotten an impressive makeover. But every morning, Mutsuko puts on makeup and steps out of her home — all so she can “happen to” run into and say hello to the young doctor, Kotaro Kikuchi (Mirai Moriyama), who passes by on his way to work. Kin Ohta (Masako Motai) watches over Mutsuko’s burgeoning romance with maternal warmth, while the pediatrician, Shiro Takuma (Tomokazu Miura), continues to treat the townspeople.

One day, Hiromi discovers a telegram that Chagawa had hidden. Who sent this telegram? What is the surprising identity of the rival writer? Will Mutsuko’s affections be returned? And what future awaits the people of Third Street?
