ALWAYS Sunset on 3-chome 2 (Best known as Always: Sunset on Third Street 2) is a 2007 toho drama film,Directed by Takashi Yamazaki.

## Plot

A relative's girl, Mika, will be entrusted to the Suzuki family, who runs a car repair shop in Yuchou-cho, 3-chome in downtown Tokyo. My father fails in business and goes to work. However, Mika, who was raised by a young lady, was not familiar with the Suzuki family and the people of Yuhi Town.

On the other hand, the candy shop Chagawa lived with Junnosuke while still thinking of Hiromi who left silently. One day, Kawabuchi, who seems to be Junnosuke's father, came back to bring his son back.

So, he requested that he would show the proof that he would be able to live a normal life, and entrusted Junnosuke again.

It's okay to say a big thing, but how can you show a stable life? Although it was Chakawa who was drunk with burnt sake, the next morning there was the appearance of Chagawa who silently started writing for the dream of " Akutagawa Award winning" that he once gave up .

The people who saw it, Suzuki Auto, and others around me began to cheer from the bottom of my heart.

The content that Chagawa wrote to the Akutagawa Prize with all his might was a pure story like the babbling of the river. Most people at Suzuki Auto and the shopping district have different viewpoints, such as people who buy the books written by Chagawa and read them many times, crying people, people who are moved, those who remember those days. To support. How about the fate with Hiromi who left silently?
