Recommended Movie: Summer Time Machine Blues (サマータイムマシン・ブルース)

Summer Time Machine Blues is based around a group of friends in a science-fiction club who spend their days fooling around at the clubhouse. One day, someone spills Coke on the remote controller of the air-conditioner. The remote is broken and they cannot turn on the air-conditioner. This immediately becomes a problem as the day becomes hotter. In the sweating bath-like clubroom, suddenly a time machine appears. Eventually, they decide to return to "yesterday" to bring the remote-controller back. Like other time travel movies, changing the past, even a little bit, can cause huge problems.

Recommended Movie: Confessions (告白 Kokuhaku)

Although I didn’t like the “video music” style of the movie, Confessions is interesting enough to worth watch it.

Recommended Movie: Brass Knuckle Boys / The Shonen Merikensack (少年メリケンサック)

Young record company talent scout Kanna Kurita (Aoi Miyazaki) finds a video clip of an abrasive punk rock band on the Internet. Although she knows nothing about punk music or even likes punk music, she feels the band could be the next big thing and bursts into Tokita’s (Yusuke Santamaria) office to tell him so. Tokita watches the video clip and orders Kanna to find the band and sign them to a contract. This starts Kanna’s quest to find the band known as “The Shonen Merikensack” (which translates into English as “The Brass Knuckle Boys”). What Kanna doesn’t know, but will find out soon enough, is that the video clip was filmed 25 years ago and the band members are now all washed up middle aged men.
