Director Statement
I created the story about open hearted girls in Tokyo as an indies series. The past time and present time are described alternately. This film is more difficult to understand than the other films of this series. I would like you to enjoy this film with pros and cons rather than entertainment. I shot the part of Ayu, first and the part of Hamacchi next year. I spent 2 years to create this film.
