Life with Dad (Otosan)
Actor Tamura Masakazu stars again as a cantankerous dad; this time, a widower of 10 years who has single-handedly raised four lovely daughters. Just when he thinks that all is well with his family and he can now think of his own happiness, his daughters begin coming to him with their various problems. Yu (Iijima Naoko), married and the mother of a son, has problems with her mother-in-law. Akira (Nakatani Miki) the most down-to-earth of his daughters, decides she wants another go at her dream. Makoto (Hirosue Ryoko) tells her dad she wants to live on her own, but hides the fact that she actually plans to live with her boyfriend. And Kei (Fukada Kyoko), who has played the piano since she was a little child, receives a great shock when her professor tells her she'll never make a great pianist. None of the girls is happy with their dad's plans to remarry, and as they set about trying to stop him, they begin to examine their own lives and personal philosophies.
