Admiral Yamamoto (DVD) (Taiwan Version)

As the commander-in-chief of the Japanese Imperial Navy’s Combined Fleet during World War II, Yamamoto Isoroku may be remembered as the man who planned the infamous Pearl Harbor attack that started the United States’ involvement in the Pacific War. However, many may not know that Yamamoto was actually against many of the Japanese Imperial Army’s decisions during the war, including starting a war with the United States. Renowned historical scholar-writer Hando Kazutoshi and award-winning director Narushima Izuru (Rebirth, A Lone Scalpel) reveal that side of the respected naval strategist in the epic drama Admiral Yamamoto.

Yakusho Koji (Thirteen Assassins) takes up the difficult task of playing the respected admiral, playing a man conflicted between his principles and his duties. In addition to Yakusho, Admiral Yamamoto also stars Tamaki Hiroshi (Nodame Cantabile), Abe Hiroshi (I Wish), Kagawa Teruyuki (Golden Slumber), Yanagiba Toshiro (Space Battleship Yamato), Shiina Kippei (Wild 7), Emoto Akira (Villain), and Tanaka Reina (Flowers).

Admiral Yamamoto chronicles the final five years of Yamamoto Isoroku’s life, starting from his opposition to Japan signing the Tripartite Pact with Germany and Italy in 1939. Educated in the United States, Yamamoto firmly believes that the United States is too strong to take on in a war. However, his view earns him the disdain of pro-war figures like a newspaper editor (Kagawa Teruyuki) and many military officials. As Yamamoto continues to climb up the ranks of the navy, he takes on increasing pressure from his superiors to plan for an all-out war. When Japan finally signs the Tripartite Pact, Yamamoto begins planning a surprise attack on the United States that he knows will wake up a sleeping giant..

Bayside Shakedown The Movie 3 (DVD) (Taiwan Version)

The Wangan Police Station gang is back in the latest installment of Japanese cinema’s most successful film series! Seven years after the record-breaking sequel, and five years after the two hit spin-off films, Bayside Shakedown 3 – Set the Guys Loose has finally arrived with a new adventure for the hardworking police officers of the Wangan precinct. For their third big screen outing, writer Kimizuka Ryoichi and director Motohiro Katsuyuki has concocted the most dangerous and complex criminal conspiracy the Wangan precinct has ever seen, with possibly fatal consequences that may change some of your favorite Bayside Shakedown characters for good.

As expected, Oda Yuji returns once more as coat-donning super detective Aoshima, as do partners-in-crime Fukatsu Eri, Yanagiba Toshiro, Yusuke Santamaria, plus the “Wangan Three Amigos” Kitamura Soichiro, Ono Takehiko, and Saito Satoru. Joining the fun this time is Oguri Shun (Crows Zero) as a police bureaucrat on the rise, and Ito Atsushi as the nephew of police veteran Waku (played by Ikariya Chosuke, who passed away in 2004). As a possible transition to a new generation of Bayside Shakedown cast, Kimizuka also wraps up the trilogy by bringing back surprising cameos by past guest stars, so be sure to study up on your Bayside Shakedown trivia for the series’ biggest chapter yet!

Seven years after the Rainbow Bridge incident of Bayside Shakedown 2, Aoshima (Oda Yuji) has since been promoted to section chief, and his first big assignment is to oversee the Wangan Precinct’s move to a new location. After several mysterious incidents, a daring group of criminals are able to easily sneak into the station and steal several police-issue guns to commit murders. As Aoshima and Sumire (Fukatsu Eri) try to reclaim their guns before they’re used to kill, the two also begin to uncover the gang’s true intentions. Meanwhile, young rising bureaucrat Torikao (Oguri Shun) is sent to Wangan to oversee the investigation, but even he may be harboring ulterior motives that could derail the investigation..
