Earlier today, some people were able to see the upcoming movie "ALWAYS San-chome no Yuhi '64" for the first time at a preview screening event.

"Always San-Chome no Yuhi '64" (English title: "Always: Sunset on Third Street 3") will depict the lives of the residents at Third Street in Tokyo back in 1964. The Olympics are set to take place in Tokyo and the country has experienced a period of rapid economic growth. It's the last installment in the trilogy and the first part that is going to be screened in 3D.

The atmosphere at the preview screening was just as warm as among the people in the movie, especially thanks to the attendance of the beaming, nine-month pregnant actress, Koyuki. This movie was her last project before taking her pregnancy leave and, coincidentally, she played a woman who is nine months pregnant.

She commented with a sweet smile, "It allowed me to simulate and practice the experience, but it's still a strange feeling that I would be in the exact same situation one year after the filming. It made me feel even more attached to this movie."

Of course Koyuki wasn't the only actor of the great ensemble that attended the event. Yoshioka Hidetaka, Tsutsumi Shinichi, Horikita Maki, Motai Masako, Yakushimaru Hiroko, and the rest of the regular cast were also present, as well as the director, Yamazaki Takashi.

Aside from the pregnancy, the third movie is also going to focus on the marriage of popular character Mutsuko, played by Horikita.

Tsutsumi, who plays Mutsuko's employer and quasi-father, commented about this very touching scene, "It was already over for me when I read the script and I wasn't the only one. Every older man among the staff felt the same way I did. Of all the works I played in so far, this one was the most memorable."

Horikita also looked back at the said scene and added, "Everyone had this desolate 'You are going to leave us now?' look in their eyes. 'Thank you for everything you've done for me!' That's the message this scene is going to convey to many fathers out there."

Popular rock band BUMP OF CHICKEN, who are providing the theme song for the movie, also attended the screening.

"Always: Sunset on Third Street 3" is scheduled to open to the general public on January 21st, 2012.
