A new trailer has been released for Yukihiko Tsutsumi’s "The Mourner" (out Feb 14, 2015). Based on a Naoki Prize-winning novel by Arata Tendo, the movie stars Kengo Kora as a man named Shizuto who’s spent years roaming from place to place mourning for the recently deceased, even though he has no personal connection to them. Shizuto eventually catches the attention of a cynical magazine reporter named Makino (Kippei Shiina), a mother named Junko (Shinobu Otake) who was diagnosed with terminal cancer, and a woman named Yukiyo (Yuriko Ishida) who was recently released from prison for murdering her husband. After witnessing Shizuto mourning her late husband, Yukiyo begins following him on his journey.

Kengo Kora will star in Yukihiko Tsutsumi's "Itamuhito", a film adaptation of Arata Tendo's Naoki Prize-winning 2008 novel. Kora will play a man named Shizuto Sakatsuki who travels between places where people have died in order to mourn for them, in spite of having no connection to them while they were alive. Yuriko Ishida will co-star as a woman named Yukiyo Nagi who follows him on his journey.
