editSynopsis

Hiroshi Tanaka (Shota Matsuda) sports an intense perm which looks like the afro hairstyle favored by some African-Americans back in the 1970's. He doesn't get his hair done at a hair shop, he was actually born with his hair like that. For freedom, Hiroshi moves to Tokyo. He works hard there and, even though he turns 24, he still doesn't have a girlfriend. Meanwhile, a school friend informs Hiroshi that he is going to get married. Hiroshi remembers a promise that they made. Hiroshi is even more impatient to find a girlfriend. A beautiful woman named Aya Kato (Nozomi Sasaki) then moves into the neighborhood.

    Funny as hell!! Who would ever thought I'd sit here and watch a movie about a Japanese dude in an Afro. But this was hysterical! His voice-over conversations to himself were hilariously funny. The whole movie was funny! The train scenes, with the girl(s) in the short skirts? Too funny! You have to see this to believe it. No spoilers here. I guarantee you will be smiling at the end. Matsuda Shota, I love you!!

    I actually liked the end. It was so weird, funny and open ended. If I try to elaborate I'll spoil it. But dang this movie was funny.

    Matsuda Shota looks so great with the afro. loved the movie WAY better than expected. I even cried... but I laughed loud since it started until the end of credits. <3

    I don't agree with you guys - the ending was as crazy as the rest of the movie and it fits best.
    Matsuda Shota looks totally different in here (compared to Liar Game for example), I like the way he's laughing and he's so handsome when he does that;)

    Hilarious! The ending was kinda a flop, but the rest of it was so funny it doesn't really matter. Definitely worth a watch.
