LOVE: Masao kun ga iku!

"Masao-kun ga iku! Pochitama petto no tabi" was one of the most popular sections among a long-running TV show, where a male Labrador retriever called Masao and a young comedian Matsumoto traveled throughout Japan. The combination of the naturally foolish behavior of Masao and the humorous exchanges of the expressive Matsumoto gained a nation-wide popularity. That story of a human and a dog now moves beyond the confines of the TV screen and becomes a full-fledged movie! Lots of hilarious actual episodes involving Matsumoto's struggle in career, love and life itself, and Masao's marriage to a black Labrador retriever, the birth of their puppies, are interwoven in the film.
