Hello, My Friend

This summer, we were more dramatic than anything in the movies. A one-summer coming-of-age SF fantasy in which the boys of a film club meet a "real alien"! A fresh cast of young actors comes together! Yumiko Shaku and a varied cast appear! This film, which depicts one summer of boys absorbed in making a movie, stars a fresh group of young actors centered on Shun Aoi, including Itsuki Yamaoka, Akira Murayama, and Kenzo Martini. They portray, true to life, the friendship and conflicts of the film club members and the sparkle of youth. Furthermore, Yumiko Shaku, Ryo Nishibori (Machine Guns), Masato Hagiwara, and others active widely in film and drama support the story, and the ending song "Namida-kun Sayonara" sung by Charan-Po-Rantan stirs the heart! A work by director Masahide Ichii of "Hakoiri Musuko no Koi" and "Taifu Kazoku". The director is Masahide Ichii, who made his feature commercial film debut with "Hakoiri Musuko no Koi" starring Gen Hoshino and directed the films "Taifu Kazoku" and "Inu mo Kuwanedo Charlie wa Warau". He wrote the original screenplay together with actor and writer Yuki Kinoe. This is the 4th work in the regional x food x high schooler "Bokura no Recipe Zukan Series"! Following "36.8 Degrees C" (starring Mayu Hotta), "Natsu, Itaru Koro" (starring Yuki Kura), and "Mendo na Hitobito" (starring Sennosuke Kataoka), this work is the 4th in the coming-of-age film "Bokura no Recipe Zukan Series" themed on "region", "food", and "high schoolers". The setting is Kiyose City, Tokyo. Filmed entirely in Kiyose City, the film also features local specialties such as carrots and honey in its scenes. Along with the charm of the region, it depicts a coming-of-age SF fantasy full of laughter and kindness. -- Hayate, a high school student who loves SF films, wanted to shoot an alien movie but, dragged down by the poor reception of his previous work, could not take a step forward. Then, on the day before summer vacation, "something" falls into the forest of Kiyose. What the SF film club members, who head out to confirm its identity, find is an injured "real" alien. Triggered by this unexpected encounter, this is a coming-of-age SF story in which the boys' one-summer filmmaking begins to move. Bonus footage (subject to change) includes a teaser, a trailer, and a making-of.
