Based on the homonymous, autobiographical, and still ongoing manga by Rieko Saibara, this particular movie has a very interesting story behind its production. Saibara used to be married to Yutaka Kamoshida, a war correspondent based in Bangkok. From the beginning, when they met in the mid 90s, he was already addicted to drugs and alcohol, though with her help he learned to stand on his feet and together, they returned to Japan. They worked together on a number of publications until Kamoshida relapsed. They divorced in 2003 but they got together in 2006 when he decided to commit to a rehabilitation center. What is peculiar about this film, is that while Kyoko Koizumi had been cast as the lead from the beginning, the role of Yutaka eventually went to Masatoshi Nagashe, her ex-husband, in a quite surprising parallel.

The full trailer for Shotaro Kobayashi’s Mainichi Kaasan has been released via the Yahoo! Japan Shochiku channel and the film’s official website. The film is based on an autobiographical manga by cartoonist Rieko Saibara which portrays the comical aspects of her family life and stars Kyoko Koizumi alongside her real-life ex-husband, Masatoshi Nagase.
Last year, Imj and Avex released an adaptation of Onnanoko Monogatari, which starred Eri Fukatsu as a struggling cartoonist who reflects on her childhood friendships and Kadokawa released an adaptation of Saibara’s first picture book Ikechan to Boku.
On Saturday, Bitters End released Wandering Home, a film adaptation of an autobiographical novel by Saibara’s late ex-husband Yutaka Kamoshida. In that adaptation, the two leads are played by Hiromi Nagasaku and Tadanobu Asano, but the themes and events covered are very similar.
Shochiku will be releasing “Mainichi Kaasan” in Japan on February 5, 2011.
Thanks to logboy for the reminder.

The film is based on an autobiographical manga by cartoonist Rieko Saibara which portrays the comical aspects of her family life and stars Kyoko Koizumi alongside her real-life ex-husband, Masatoshi Nagase.
The Japanese film industry apparently can’t get enough of Saibara lately.

Earlier this month, Bitters End released the trailer for Yoichi Higashi‘s upcoming film adaptation of Yutaka Kamoshida’s best-selling autobiographical novel Yoi ga Sametara, Uchi ni Kaero (When I sober up, I’ll come home) via their YouTube channel and the film’s official website.
Kamoshida was a journalist and former war photographer who was married to cartoonist Rieko Saibara. During their marriage, he was an abusive alcoholic, eventually leading to their divorce. However, when Kamoshida was later diagnosed with kidney cancer, Saibara took care of him until his death in March of 2007.
In the film, the names are changed but much of the story is a brutally honest account of Kamoshida and Saibara’s rocky relationship. Tadanobu Asano stars as Yasuyuki Tsukahara, a war-time photographer who marries popular cartoonist Yuki Sonada (Hiromi Nagasaku). The two have children together, but Yasuyuki’s tendency to fly into drunken rages eventually...

Filmmaker Yoichi Higashi (The River with No Bridge, Village of Dreams) recently returned to the director’s chair to adapt late journalist Yutaka Kamoshida’s autobiographical novel Yoi ga Sametara, Uchi ni Kaero (When I sober up, I’ll go home). The film was actually announced back in December and mentioned as far back as August, but coming across its official website reminded me that it hasn’t really been covered on the web in English yet aside from a few passing blips and blurbs.
There are a lot of reasons to be excited about this one, not the least of which being the fact that Higashi hasn’t directed a film since “The Crying Wind” in 2004. Although he became a filmmaker in 1962, his movies are actually few and far between. Whenever he makes a new one, they tend to win awards and garner critical success.

The official website for Permanent Nobara has been updated with a new 2-minute trailer. The film is the latest by director Daihachi Yoshida, who began his career as a highly successful television commercial and music video director before making his feature-length debut with 2007’s Funuke Show Some Love, You Losers!
His new film is based on a manga series by Rieko Saibara, a cartoonist who’s popularity has been soaring recently due to the frank nature of her work, covering self-reflective subjects like single motherhood (Ikechan to Boku) and her own manga career (Onnanoko Monogatari).
Former J-pop idol Miho Kanno stars as a woman named Naoko who returns to her village home with her daughter after getting divorced. Her mother runs the only hair salon in the area for women to get perms, but the main reason they show up day after day is to discuss their most personal love...
