It stares at me like giant beacon. A pathetic reminder of the state of things:
Jesus is my homeboy.
I wonder if Jesus is opposed to the term “homeboy” and I wonder what he thinks about being used in the context of said “homeboy.”
“Eight Seventy-three,” the Korean guy says.
I hand the guy the cash, he gives me my change and I tell him, “Nice t-shirt.”
Jesus is my homeboy.
I really don’t want to do this anymore. My back hurts, my knees hurt, I’ve put on weight, haven’t gotten a decent night’s sleep since August 2006. I’m tired, so damn tired.
Write more about the stories... these are the orders from the producers. "We want people to get interested in what the film is about. Where do I start?
Ashita is comprised of six stories all revolving around something that will happen tomorrow. On top of the six stories we have Keiko's dance, that ties the stories to each other.
Here is a breakdown of the stories:
3 Girls, is basically that. We have Yuki, who runs... she runs from a white ghost like figure who slowly and patiently chases her. Yuki is frightened and more than anything wants to be free of the curse that follows her. Meanwhile, Miki and Ayumi are at work at the local bar. Both are fairly miserable in their lives, when a mysterious white ghost like figure appears. Their paths will cross with Yuki on a deeper level than one would imagine.
The Gift, Toshio has traveled from Tokyo in order for his estranged wife Meiko to sign divorce papers. Meiko would not sign them unless they were hand delivered by her husband. Annoyed and frustrated, Toshio got on a plane and here he is wanting to get their awful marriage finally finished. He and Meiko discuss their marriage and what possibly went wrong. Each blames the the other. Each blames themselves. Everything falls apart. Everything breaks down. Toshio simply wants Meiko to sign the divorce papers so they can each live their own lives. Before she does, she gives Toshio a gift... something that destroys his very soul and leaves him broken.
Teddy Bear, Sayaka walks through the streets at night. With her she carries Teddy, a stuffed bear and her best friend. She reflects on her life and her lost love. Sayaka misses him and tries not cry and she studies the city at night and wishes for rain. Rain, will clean everything and maybe bring him back. He asks Teddy to help stay strong as she walks through the night. She promises to take care of Teddy... she won't abandon Teddy like she was abandoned.
Cream Puff Explosion, Riko, Mizuki and Aya are reunited after five years. They used to be in a Japanese pop band together. They have all come together for Yuuka's wedding. As they three friends reminisce about the old days and about being young, some awful truths emerge from deeply hidden places and soon their friendship is tested as the lies of reality surface.
The Wonderful Elton Fuji, is a young artist. He is also a mute. His only way to express the beauty he sees in the world is through his art. He spends his days and nights sketching the world he sees. Elton is infatuated with the girl next door, the only way he knows how to tell her is through his art; one day he sketches a beautiful drawing for her and leave sit on her doorstep. What follows is a wonderful story of love without words and humanity through art.
Fireflies, is my newest story for Ashita. Etsu's father left her when she was just a little girl. But every year on her birthday she gets a letter from him. Etsu decides to travel outside of Japan to find her dad. She has so many questions, but she mainly wants to tell him he forgives him for leaving and she still loves him. When she finally finds her father's house, she meets her half sister Ami and discovers a frightening reality about her father. Things didn't quite go as Etsu had expected.
Well, that's Ashita in a nutshell I guess.
