‘Producer’ of life’s end: Yes, he is a Grim Reaper…
Takeshi Kaneshiro has come back to Japanese film after 6 years absence. This time, he plays a sweet Grim Reaper… Based on a novel which has been longed to be adapted into a feature film; ‘Accuracy of Death’ by Kotaro Isaka, a fantasy drama with unique setting is now brought to the big screen!

Introduction :
Kaneshiro Takeshi, in his first ‘death’ role...for a Grim Reaper, he’s not very terrifying. For a Grim Reaper, he’s kind of cool.

For some reason it’s always raining when Chiba, an off-beat harbinger of death played by the internationally known Takeshi Kaneshiro in his first appearance in a Japanese film in six years, appears in our world. Cool at first glance, but a Grim Reaper with a certain spontaneity and a unique detachment, he is charming and comic in the role. The story develops in three settings, the past, the present, and the future. How the look of Chiba, the Grim Reaper, changes with the times is something to watch.

Finally, a movie that fully invokes the fascination of the world of Isaka is here!

The original story is the novel ‘The Accuracy of Death’ (Bungei Shunju Publishers) by Kotaro Isaka, one of Japan’s most avidly supported writers, especially among the younger generation. Having long resisted offers to have the book filmed, he is said to have given his ready consent if Takeshi Kaneshiro were to be the star. In the roles of the woman on whom Chiba must pass judgement are Manami Konishi and Sumiko Fuji. The Director is Masaya Kakehi, whose unique style, mingling fantasy and humor, has made him one of the most-watched figures in Japanese film today. His picture Bijokan drew attention at the festivals to which it was invited in Japan and abroad. Accuracy of Death is his first full-length feature. Now, here is a work of entertainment that will gently sway the hearts of viewers.

Story :
Chiba (Takeshi Kaneshiro) appears seven days before a person dies an unexpected death. His job is to observe the person for seven days, and then decide either to ‘execute’ or ‘pass over’. Getting his work quickly out of the way, he goes to the listening booth of a CD shop and indulges in his favorite pastime, listening to ‘humanity’s greatest invention’: music.
He is...a Grim Reaper. Today, again, in the rain, he waits. His subject, her death due in seven days, is Kazue Fujiki (Manami Konishi), 27. She works for a manufacturing company, in the complaints department. Exhausted after her day, she emerges from her office. It’s time for the Reaper to go to work.
