A drama based on Mariko Yamauchi’s novel.
The lives of a woman who thinks that marriage is happiness and struggles to find a partner and a woman who drops out of college and lives lazy are mixed. Yukiko Sode, such as “Good Stripes,” takes the megaphone. Mugi Kadowaki such as “Farewell Song” and Kiko Mizuhara such as “A Girl Who Makes All the Men Who Meet a Boy Who Wants to Become Tornado Girl Crazy” will appear.

Beginning 2000s, director Akihiko Shiota emerged as part of a new wave of Japanese filmmakers portraying teenage alienation in postmodern Japan. Like many other famous directors of his generation, Shiota was a student of Shigehiko Hasumi at Tokyo Film School. Though less prolific than his former classmates Shinji Aoyama (“Eureka” 2000) and Kiyoshi Kurosawa (“Cure” 1997), Shiota produced impressive movies such as “Moonlight Whispers” (1999), “Harmful Insect” (2001) and “Canary” (2004), which all deal with young outcasts and a lack of parental presence. In the course of his career, Shiota shifted his focus from serious indie dramas to sentimental commercial productions and effect-filled entertainment (“Dororo” 2007). He finally ended up in the genre of medical drama with the TBS tearjerker “I Just Wanna Hug You” (2014). What may look like a decline of artistic demand, is proven wrong by Shiota’s newest film “Farewell Song” (2019).
