A cabinet meeting has continued through days and nights, but a decision cannot be made. The U.S. drops atomic bombs on the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Japan. General Korechika Anami is torn over making the proper decision and the Emperor of Japan worries about his people. Prime Minister Kantaro Suzuki leads the cabinet meeting, while Chief Secretary Hisatsune Sakomizu can't do anything, but watch the meeting.<br /> <br /> At this time, Major Kenji Hatanaka and other young commissioned officers, who are against Japan surrendering, move to occupy the palace and a radio broadcasting station. The radio station is set to broadcast Emperor Hirohito reading out the Imperial Rescript on the Termination of the War. <br /> <br /> ==Notes==<br /> # Based on the nonfiction novel &quot;Ketteiban Nihon no Ichiban Nagai Hi&quot; by Kazutoshi Hando (published 1995 by Bungeishunjū Ltd.).<br /> # 1967 film &quot;Japan's Longest Day,&quot; directed by Kihachi Okamoto, is based on the nonfiction novel &quot;Nihon no Ichiban Nagai Hi,” by Kazutoshi Hando (published 1965 by Bungeishunjū Ltd.). <br /> # Related titles:<br /> ## [[Japan's Longest Day (1967)|Japan's Longest Day]] | Nihon no Ichiban Nagai hi (1967)<br /> ## [[Nihon no Ichiban Nagai Natsu]] (2010)<br /> <br /> ==Cast==<br /> {{CastPictures6<br /> |1picture=File:The Emperor in August-Koji Yakusho.jpg<br /> |1name=Koji Yakusho<br /> |1charactername=General Korechika Anami<br /> |2picture=File:The Emperor in August-Masahiro Motoki.jpg<br /> |2name=Masahiro Motoki<br /> |2charactername=Emperor Showa <br /> |3picture=File:The Emperor in August-Tsutomu Yamazaki.jpg<br /> |3name=Tsutomu Yamazaki<br /> |3charactername=PM Kantaro Suzuki<br /> |4picture=File:The Emperor in August-Shinichi Tsutsumi.jpg<br /> |4name=Shinichi Tsutsumi<br /> |4charactername=Secretary Hisatsune Sakomizu <br /> |5picture=File:The Emperor in August-Tori Matsuzaka.jpg<br /> |5name=Tori Matsuzaka<br /> |5charactername=Major Kenji Hatanaka<br /> |6picture=File:The Emperor in August-Erika Toda.jpg<br /> |6name=Erika Toda<br /> |6charactername=Reiko Hoki<br /> }}<br /> '''Additional Cast Members:'''<br /> * [[Misuzu Kanno]]<br /> * [[Misako Renbutsu]]<br /> * [[Kazushige Komatsu]]<br /> * [[Ikuji Nakamura]]<br /> * [[Kazuhiro Yamaji]]<br /> * [[Tatsuhito Okuda]]<br /> * [[Takashi Inoue (1960)|Takashi Inoue]]<br /> * [[Katsumi Kiba]]<br /> * [[Yasumasa Ohba]] - Masataka Ida<br /> * [[Shu Nakajima]]<br /> * [[Akaji Maro]]<br /> * [[Shota Totsuka]]<br /> * [[Yuko Miyamoto]]<br /> * [[Midoriko Kimura]]<br /> * [[Toru Nomaguchi]]<br /> * [[Kenichi Matsuyama]]<br /> * [[Mio Tanaka]] - Okikatsu Arao<br /> <br /> ==Trailers==<br /> {{AsianWikiPlayer2|url=2015K/The_Emperor_in_August-t1.xml}}<br /> <br /> ==Image Gallery==<br /> {{AsianWikiImageGallery<br /> |1=The Emperor In August-0001.jpg<br /> |2=The Emperor In August-0002.jpg<br /> |3=The Emperor In August-0003.jpg<br /> |4=The Emperor in August-0004.jpg<br /> }}<br /> <br /> ==Film Festivals==<br /> * [[2015 (28th) Tokyo International Film Festival]] - October 22-31, 2015 - Japan Now<br /> <br /> ==Awards==<br /> * [[2016 (39th) Japan Academy Prize]] - March 4, 2016<br /> ** '''Outstanding Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role''' ([[Masahiro Motoki]])<br /> <br /> ==Comments==<br /> &lt;wp:comments&gt;<br /> wp_post_title=Japan's Longest Day (2015)<br /> wp_url=http://asianwiki.com/commentsdirectory/<br /> &lt;/wp:comments&gt;<br /> <br /> {{UpdateBox}}<br /> <br /> [[Category:Japanese films]]<br /> [[Category:2015 Japanese films]]<br /> [[Category:films]]<br /> [[Category:2015 films]]<br /> [[Category:Based on True Story films]]<br /> [[Category:J Based on True Story films]]<br /> [[Category:Drama films]]<br /> [[Category:J Drama films]]<br /> [[Category:Period films]]<br /> [[Category:J Period films]]<br /> [[Category:Period-1940 films]]<br /> [[Category:J Period-1940 films]]<br /> [[Category:War films]]<br /> [[Category:J War films]]<br /> [[Category:Asmik Ace Entertainment distributed films]]<br /> [[Category:2015 Asmik Ace Entertainment distributed films]]<br /> [[Category:Shochiku distributed films]]<br /> [[Category:2015 Shochiku distributed films]]<br /> {{DEFAULTSORT:Emperor in August, The}}</div> Eunwook
