The Voice of Sin

罪の声   죄의 목소리   罪之聲

142 min

35 years have elapsed since the greatest unsolved crime in the postwar era, an incident that involved a threatening phone call captured on tape that featured the “voice of a child.” So where is that child today?
The story follows one man who accidentally stumbles upon an old tape recording and discovers that the child’s voice belonged to him. But how? Both he and a newspaper reporter separately go in search of answers, gradually uncovering a human drama that plunges them inescapably into a deep, dark mystery.
Fate can’t be ignored. People can only face it, seek to overcome its challenges and then cling to that which they hold most dear. This film depicts how tragedy and destiny can waylay one’s best laid plans for life, until salvation is found.

The Man with the God Tongue

神の舌を持つ男   擁有神之舌的男人   신의 혀를 가진 남자

75 min × 1 ep / 60 min × 9 eps|10 episodes

Ranmaru Tomonaga may be a bit naive and dorky, but he’s got something of an endearing quality that is hard to dislike. Above all, he has a tongue like a gas-chromatography device, capable of analyzing whatever it comes in contact with. Sure enough, that tongue leads him into all kinds of trouble as he gets embroiled in solving one puzzling mystery after another. Along the way, he picks up a sidekick; an “uzakawa” (cute, but annoying) suspense drama fan girl named Hikaru Kamekanbo. They meet up with Kanji Miyazawa, a straight-laced man who is the only person capable of reining in the quirky pair and keeping them out of trouble. The three of them become traveling companions, traversing the countryside in a beat-up automobile, sleeping and eating in some of the nation’s best-kept secret hot springs, and searching for the mysterious “onsen” geisha “Miyabi” in a comical mystery adventure.
