八月二十九日(hachigatsu nijyuku nichi): August 29

I went to see three Japanese movies. Since today is the last Sunday of the summer vacation for most of the students, I thought there would be many people at the theaters, but on the contrary there were not so crowded.
The first movie was Karigurashi no Arrietty (借り暮らしのアリエッティ). This is the animation film. The original is The Borrowers by Mary Norton.

The second one was Odoru daisosasen The Movie 3 yatsura wo kaiho seyo!(踊る大捜査線 The Movie 3 ヤツラを解放せよ!). This was the movie from the popular TV drama. This is the third movie from the series. First one was released in 1998 and 7 million people watched and the sales was yen 10,100,000,000. The second one became the number one hit movie in Japan which released in 2003. 12.60 million people watched and the sales was yen 17,350,000,000. After 7 years it came back.

The third one was Hanamizuki (ハナミズキ),dogwood. It is a true love story of 10 years history. The story was made based on the song titled Hanamizuki released in 2004.
