Tetsuya Matsumoto

OLの山内しおり は、自分が住む前に住んでいた女性宛ての手紙をつい開けてしまう。そこには「君に会いたい。愛している」と書かれていた。再び郵便受けに入っていた手紙には「今日、久しぶりに会いに行きます」との内容が。しおりが手紙の宛て名の三浦玲子をインターネットで検索すると、未解決ストーカー殺人事件の被害者の名前がヒットし……。

In 2004, singer-songwriter Matsumoto Tetsuya wrote an autobiography that included a section about his relationship with his troubled mother. Writer-director Nakamura Daisuke adapts that story to film with Shiwase Come On, his directorial debut. The film covers the marriage of Tetsuya's mother and yakuza father, his mother's drug habit, his stay at an orphanage and his reconciliation with his mother after becoming an adult. In addition to writing and performing the film's theme song, Matsumoto Tetsuya also composed the score to this touching film. In 2011, Shiawase Come On won Grand Prix at the 2011 Okuradashi Film Festival, a film festival dedicated to screening unreleased Japanese films.
