 Funny Tragedy or Sad Comedy?

 Introduction :
WelcomeThe production team which created “Maiko Haaaan!!!” (BO: $21 million / 2007), a big hit comedy movie that raised a storm of laugh across Japan, has teamed up again to produce another entertainment film!!
Written by Kankuro Kudo (“The Shonen Merikensack”, “Ping Pong”), a highly acclaimed scriptwriter for his very original world and laugh-filled story, this is a story about the brothers who are destined to be the plaything of fortune…

Story :No More Cry!!! sub1.jpg
Two brothers were abandoned and separated when they were still small.
Despite their unhappy childhood, they promise themselves that they will not cry and remain strong and optimistic…

The big brother, Yuta, was raised by the owner of a deli, and he works like crazy to show his gratitude to the adoptive father. He even does other menial chores for the people in the neighborhood, and becomes known as an ultimate people pleaser.

The little brother, Yusuke, is now half of a popular comic duo called the Kinjo Brothers.No More Cry!!! sub2.jpg Even though the “Brothers” are not related at all, a tearjerker autobiography which contains completely false accounts of their childhood becomes the best-seller, and the fact that they’re not real brothers is a secret they work desperately to hide.

One day, Yuta accidentally finds Yusuke of the Kinjo Brothers is his brother. Believing his little brother would also want to see him, Yuta shows himself to Yusuke with excitement. However, Yusuke does not accept it, and…

Laughter in all the tears, and tears in all the laughter. Is it a funny tragedy or a sad comedy?
This is a story about a unique family amidst a whirlwind of laughter and tears!!
