Battle Under Orion (Japanese Movie)

Description: In a rainy seaside town, a young woman named Izumi (Keiko Kitagawa) investigates the circumstances surrounding a letter she received from the United States, written in English. The letter is from an American girl whose grandfather was a naval commander in World War II. 64 years earlier, near the end of the war, his battleship faced off against a Japanese submarine which was captained by Kuramoto (Hiroshi Tamaki). Before Kuramoto departed, his wife Shizuko (also played by Kitagawa) gave him the hand-written sheet music to a song called ?Manatsu no Orion?. As Izumi uncovers more information about that day, the film recounts events of the epic battle which continuously tested the wits and resolve of both captains. Cast: Hiroshi Tamaki, Keiko Kitagawa, Yoshikuni Dochin, Yuta Hiraoka, Eisaku Yoshida, Toru Masuoka, Mitsuru Fukikoshi, Masaya Kikawada, Taiga, Taku Suzuki
