A Story Of Yonosuke (2013) (DVD) (English Subtitled) (Hong Kong Version) DVD Region 3

In life, there are some very special people who enter your life for a brief time and leave memories that will last a lifetime. Yokomichi Yonosuke is such a person. Based on the award-winning novel by Yoshida Shuichi, The Story of Yonosuke chronicles a year in the life of a very special young man through the perspectives of those he touched. Kora Kengo (Norwegian Wood) gives the performance of his career as the bright, cheerful and sometimes socially inept titular character. Director/co-scriptwriter Okita Shuichi drops the deadpan humor he used in The Chef of South Polar and Woodsman and the Rain with a genuinely touching film that's also a little bittersweet.

In 1987, 18–year–old Yokomichi Yonosuke (Kora Kengo) moves to Tokyo to attend university. His cheerful and earnest nature quickly helps him become friends with two classmates. His persistence and lack of tact help him bond with cool, fashionable Kato (Ayano Go). Through Kato, Yonosuke also meets Shoko (Yoshitaka Yuriko), an eccentric rich girl who falls head over heels for Yonosuke. From his friends' points of view, we see moments from what would become the most important year in Yonosuke's life, as well as the unforgettable memories that still live in his friends' minds over two decades later.

It is 1987 – the zenith of Japan’s economic success – and eighteen-year-old Yonosuke Yokomichi has moved to Tokyo from Nagasaki.

Normal in every way possible, Yonosuke finds himself out of step with his seemingly more worldly counterparts at university. Despite his somewhat goofy exterior, Yonosuke befriends fellow freshmen Ippei Kuramochi and Yui Akutsu during the opening commencement ceremony. Together with his new friends he joins the samba club.

During lunch one day Yonosuke meets Kato, a handsome boy popular with the girls, and the two become good friends. Soon after, while taking driving class with Kato, Yonosuke meets Shoko, an eccentric rich girl who shows interest in Yonosuke. But Yonosuke hardly notices her advances. He is infatuated with a mysterious older woman named Chiharu who plays the plethora of rich men prevalent during the "bubble time" like pawns in a game of chess.

Sixteen years later, missing is the affable Yonosuke, who is said to have become a cameraman after college. Little does everyone know of the selfless tragedy that has befallen their "ordinary" friend.
