Robo-G (Toho, 2012) is a movie written and directed by Yaguchi Shinobu (Water Boys, Swing Girls). In this film, three employees of a small town appliance manufacturing company were instructed to develop a bipedal humanoid robot to help promote their products. They were only given 3 months to work on it, and so far, all they could accomplish was to make it walk a few steps. Then, an unfortunate accident takes place, leaving the robot permanently destroyed. With the Robot Expo only a week away, the desperate team decides to secretly hire anyone who can fit into the robotic suit and pretend to be the robot. Somehow, they end up hiring a stringy old grandpa named Suzuki. Finally, the day of the Expo arrives. Suzuki-san dons the metallic suit and is told to follow three simple instructions: go onstage, wave to the cameras, and then leave. Their harmless little scheme seems to be going smoothly, that is, until the "robot" decides to take things up a notch...

Robo-G stars Mickey Curtis as Suzuki Shigemitsu, a 73 year old crotchety retiree who pretends to be a robot called "New Shiokaze"; Hamada Gaku (as Kobayashi Hiroki), Chan Kawai (as Ota Koji), and Kawashima Junya (Nagai Shinya) as the three members of the robotics team; and Yoshitaka Yuriko as Sasaki Yoko, a robot otaku who gets smitten by New Shiokaze.

Thanks! Very good movie!

But, why you want to translate the song?
It's a song of famous group Styx:

Yes, it's a cover version, but still in English. As well as an original one.

Yeah... Where is my youth?

Finished watching this last night -- very cute and funny, and I loved Takenaka Naoto's cameo, straight out of Shall We Dansu. Many, many thanks to the whole team for your excellent subs. A most impressive job! -- gankooyaji

Yes I have and I completely forgot to thank you all for your excellent subs on that one. I'm such a sucker for those "great food will cure anything" movies! Plus I learned a very interesting word, 素朴, which would appear from the dictionary to have a rather negative connotation, but is used very positively for the bread. Japanese has to be the most subtle language in the world! So again many thanks for your hard work -- it is much appreciated. Really looking forward to 孤独のグルメ...

I guess, you forgot to translate the motto of Kimura Denki company. It has been written on the corporate van used by "engineers" :)
