[edit] Plot
- Kijo no Kuron (An Armchair Theory) :
Junji Kojima creates "Kijo no Kuron (An Armchair Theory)" which deals with know-how of romance and its practice with the Ramens. This is a parody of instructional videos on how to find love.
- Clean Room :
Eiki Takahashi's "Clean Room" starring Kumiko Aso describes a sensitive woman who traps herself in the plastic bubble in fear of the outside world. She gradually lured out of her comfort zone. This piece is visually stunning and meditative.
- Hoops Men Soul :
Hidenori Inoue directed "Hoops Men Soul" starring Takamasa Suga. A teenage girl is kidnapped by cruel moneylenders and held for 10 million yen ransom. Her boyfriend and his gang come to the rescue. This is a fusion of comedy, street culture, and action.
- Fastener :
Popular band Mr. Children's "Fastener" inspires Kohki Tange's 30-minute work. A moving meditation on memory and spiritual rebirth. "Fastener" deals with the impact of a child's realization that adults spend most of their lives hiding behind disguises. Tange explores this concept in surrealist imagery, as an elderly man revisits childhood memories from his deathbed.
