A teaser trailer for Tôru Matsuura’s Synesthesia (Gimî hebun - or “Gimme Heaven”, if you prefer back-transliterations) has just been added to the official website for the movie.

As was previously reported here on Twitch, the screenplay for Synesthesia was written by Yûji Sakamoto. The movie’s principal cast apparently is as follows: Yôsuke Eguchi, Aoi Miyazaki, Masanobu Andô, Ryûhei Matsuda, Yuriko Ishida, Hijiri Kojima, Minoru Torihada, and Toshiyuki Kitami.

Below are an introduction and a synopsis for Synesthesia from this page for the movie on the website of Shochiku Co. Ltd. (Shôchiku K.K.).

Introduction:
[synesthesia / synaesthesia] (sin’is-the’zhea) n.
A condition in which one type of stimulation evokes the sensation of another, as when the hearing of a sound produces the visualization of a color. Synesthesia is “abnormal” only in being statistically rare. “Synesthesia” is a sensibility which cannot be understood by other people. An incident brings two lonely souls who possess this unsolved puzzle of mind to meet, leading to strange events and a serial murder case.

Story:
Shinsuke has been going on with his uneventful daily life, with “synesthesia” being the only symptom differentiating him from others. He keeps the dark depth of his mind to himself, but feels distant even from his best friend and his fiancee. Mari has also been feeling deep solitude from experiencing synesthesia which she feels she is unable to share with anyone. Her parents have passed away, and her adoptive parents mysteriously die, one by one. Picasso, the “dealer of death” comes into scene as mysterious incidents and murder occur one after another. Shinsuke suspects that Mari is being followed by Picasso, and that she may be the next victim. Shinsuke and Mari’s fateful meeting upturns their lives and leads them to tragedy.

    Man ... that looks great ... Matsuda’s not in nearly as much as Asano this year but it looks like his choices are shaping up just as well ...
