Loosely based on the autobiographical novel by sci-fi writer Mayumura Taku, 1,778 Stories of Me and My Wife is an emotionally touching drama about a man's determination to keep his wife alive. SMAP's Kusanagi Tsuyoshi ( Ballad ) plays a writer who, at the suggestion of a doctor, keeps his terminally ill wife (Takeuchi Yuko) alive with him by writing one short story a day to make her laugh. Written by Hanzawa Ritsuko ( Threads of Destiny ) and directed by Hoshi Mamoru ( University of Laughs ), this adult-oriented pure romance effectively gets the tears flowing while also dazzling the audiences by bringing the imaginative sci-fi short stories to life. Writer Sakutaro (Kusanagi Tsuyoshi) and his wife Setsuko (Takeuchi Yuko) have been inseparable since high school. When Setsuko starts getting stomach pains, she sees a doctor and is diagnosed with colon cancer. The doctor tells Sakutaro that laughter can help the immune system, prompting him to begin writing one short story a day for Setsuko. Initially only given a year left to live, Setsuko begins to find a will to live because of the stories. Even as the one-year period extends into years, Sakutaro continues writing stories on a daily basis, as long as Setsuko is around to read them.
