Synopsis:
Japan has always excelled at commercial comedies in which underdogs achieve victory through hard work and lots of bonding. With unabashed sentimentality and a cynicism-free sincerity, some of these films have even surpassed their Hollywood counterparts in quality. While the obstacles stopping these underdogs tend to range from gender to a general lack of talent (think Swing Girls and Waterboys), Gachi Boy, Wrestling witha Memory finds a new obstacle from the Asian melodrama textbook that can’t be overcome: not only does this underdog have to learn wrestling from scratch, but he also has to learn it without a short-term memory.
At first, Ryoichi (Ryuta Sato) seems like just another weirdo when he asks to join the unpopular university wrestling club. Initially skeptical, the club accepts him out of need for new members, though the current members all see that something is off about Ryota. He keeps calling the members by their stage names, and he seems to have an obsession with taking Polaroid pictures of every single moment he spends with the club. When Ryoichi’s sister happens to see one of his public matches, she reveals the answer to his strange behavior: a bike accident years ago damaged Ryoichi’s brain permanently, leaving him incapable of retaining any new memories once he falls asleep.
