The past comes back to haunt and heal in Japanese drama “A Chorus of Angels”, directed by Sakamoto Junji (“Children of the Dark”) and based on the work by bestselling author Minato Kanae, whose “Confessions” was recently brought to the screen in stunning fashion by Nakashima Tetsuya. Adapted from the short story “Ni-jyu Nian Go no Shyukudai” from the “Oufuku Shokan” collection, the film revolves around the relationship between a former teacher and her now-grown up students, who are bound together by a dark secret.

Here’s the first teaser for Hajime Hashimoto’s Tantei wa Bar ni Iru, which recently surfaced on YouTube.
Based on Naomi Azuma’s novel “Bar ni Kakatte Kita Denwa”, the second installment of the author’s “Susukino Tantei” detective series, the film stars Yo Oizumi as a private detective who bases his business out of a bar in Susukino, a red-light district in Sapporo, Hokkaido. In keeping with that premise, Oizumi’s character turns to the audience in the teaser and says “If something comes up, call me here.”
One day, he receives a call from a mystery woman (revealed in the teaser as being played by Koyuki) who gets both he and his combative-yet-reliable partner Takada (Ryuhei Matsuda) involved in a dangerous new case. Toshiyuki Nishida also stars as a wealthy industrialist.
Toei will be releasing “Tantei wa Bar ni Iru” in Japan on September 10, 2011
