The official website for Makoto Tanaka's Ame no machi is now partly functional.

As was previously reported here on Twitch, the screenplay for Ame no machi was written by Tanaka, based on the eponymous short story by Hideyuki Kikuchi. The movie's principal cast is as follows: Toshihiro Wada, Yôko Maki, Riko Narumi, Tsutomu Takeshige, Mitsuki Nagashima, Chihiro Maebashi, Tôru Shinagawa, Ken Mitsuishi, Ken Yasuda, Noriko Eguchi, Shungiku Uchida, Asami Katsura, Hideyuki Kikuchi (see above), Naruyoshi Kikuchi (he also composed/performed the closing theme song for the movie), Kôichi Ueda, Moeko Ezawa, and Kôjirô Kusanagi.

Progressive Pictures K.K. (Puroguresshibu Pikuchâzu K.K.) is scheduled to release Ame no machi theatrically in Japan in March.
