TOKYO KURDS
ARTicle FilmsSummary :The film starts in a rather brutally realistic fashion, as the violent episodes that take place between Kurds and Turks, with the former essentially being the ones persecuted, setting the tone for the issues they have to face, both from local authorities, and the people who consider them all as terrorists. Detail : TOKYO KURDS(2021) was screened at Jeonju International Film festival as an International Competition, TIDF Asian Competiton, as well as theatrical screened nationwide. The film starts in a rather brutally realistic fashion, as the violent episodes that take place between Kurds and Turks, with the former essentially being the ones persecuted, setting the tone for the issues they have to face, both from local authorities, and the people who consider them all as terrorists. The narrative calms a bit after that, as we are introduced to the two protagonists, Ozan and Ramazan, both of which have been living in Japan since childhood, and can speak and write fluently in Japanese.Despite their common background, however, the paths the two have chosen are rather different. Ramazan wants to get into a college and study, and for this purpose, he is also learning English, while the rather handsome Ozan wants to be on television, but is also forced to work, illegally, in a demolition crew in order to support himself. Their wills may be different, but the obstacles they face are essentially identical. Colleges turn down Ramazan's application because he does not have a visa (which he could get if he managed to enter a college, in a truly Uroboros-like obstacle) while the talent agency Ozan applies for cannot hire him without permission from the immigration service to work in Japan, which, expectedly, is never granted. As such, the two of them become completely lost regarding their future, a concept that becomes painfully evident in a scene where they appear together in the film, discussing their lives.Other VideosURL :https://www3.nhk.or.jp/nhkworld/en/ondemand/video/2084015/

They have been creating a workplace where people with diverse backgrounds, including those with mental or physical disabilities, single parents, those who have never attended school, and sexual minorities, can work comfortably and earn well.It all started in 2003, when 26-year-old Natsume started a small bakery with three staff members. Since then, Natsume has developed a number of businesses, but a meeting with top chocolatier Kazuo Noguchi was a major turning point. Chocolate can be made again by warming it up even if it fails," he said. Moreover, chocolate is a magical ingredient that adds value depending on your ideas.

Manga Science
Gakken Plus Co., Ltd.The Wonder Wai world is strictly realistic. Apart from the ≪Big Bugs≫, the rules governing it are similar to ours. Throughout the episodes, all the heroes’ adventures and their discoveries will be checked by researchers* and drawn from our world’s scientific reality: How does gravity work How does the human body work
How do you build a rocket How does a computer work
But to turn the children’s everyday life into great adventures, the series draws its inspiration from the crazy universe of the original Yoshitoh Asari (who is a
science journalist himself) manga which lends itself perfectly to the whackiest demonstrations!
In this rigorously scientific environment, Big Bugs are a humorous extrapolation of Science and serve to push it to its limits. Big Bugs
are therefore not supernatural phenomena, but extraordinary and zany events, based on actual scientific reality.
The series puts the fun into Science! Scientific facts get dissected, stretched out, handled to excess before being put back together so they can be understood better. -

The Top Loft
Gorilla Co., Ltd.This is an adventure fantasy that unfolds in the land of Kaijues with three unique children.
Their voracious curiosity leads them on an adventure that takes them into the exciting maze of Kaiju Land.
Each story takes 7 minutes to complete.
The three main characters encounter a different monster in each episode and face a different challenge each time.
Although surprised and scared at first, the children work together to save the Kaijues and solve the difficulties.
In the process, they learn the importance of kindness, friendship, and courage.
In the first episode, the three main characters wander from the land of humans to the Kaiju land, and become friends with the scary Kaijues.
From the second episode onward, the story unfolds only in the Kaiju land.
(From the second episode onward, the story unfolds only in the Kaiju land, and does not go back and forth between the land of humans and the Kaiju land.)
The three main characters are very unique, just as each child in the audience is unique.
Children (preschoolers) in this target audience tend to have a strong empathy for things that are similar to themselves.
By having three main characters, it is easier for the viewers to find characters with the same personality as their own, compared to a setting with one main character.
Watching the protagonists have fun, act freely, stretch out, play an active role, and grow up.
As they watch the protagonists have fun, act freely, stretch themselves, and grow, they can naturally sympathize with and learn from them as they find similarities with themselves.
This is why children can get deeply involved in the story and keep watching until the end.
What I want to convey is diversity and self-affirmation.
The monsters have different sizes of tails, different colors of hair, different looks, and different problems.
I think viewers will realize that monsters look different from humans, but their problems are the same as humans.
That is the chance to learn about diversity as well.
As for self-affirmation, when the audience sees the three of them stretching out and having a really good time.
I think viewers will feel that they can do it too.
I would like to deliver this film to everyone around the world. -

Chad & Clark's Adventure Island
MontBlanc Pictures Co., Ltd.Summary:
Chad and Clark’s Adventure Island is a delightful animated series for children that tells the story of two
friends on a noble quest, making numerous detours and following curiosity to grand adventures.
The series is designed with the intention of entertaining, educating and inspiring it’s bright young audience.
Crazy and imaginative situations hook and entertain, while themes and relationships remain honest, universal
and distinctly human. Following this, three main themes stand out throughout the series:
Format : 7mins × 26eps
Target : 4 to 7 years old
Genre : Comedy Adventure
Technic : HD CGI Animation
Detail:
■Friendship - Authentic, heart-warming and fun characters and relationships! -
Most notable in the dynamic duo of Chad and Clark, a wild self-raised monkey and a domesticated pet
dog, the friendship demonstrated in the series isnot simple and superficial.
Friendship in this case could be reworded “acceptance”, to get to know someone very different from yourself, to learn from them and let them in turn become a part of yourself. To learn to compromise, co-operate and and find strength and joy in each others differences.
■Adventure - Strange and extraordinary characters and places waiting around every corner! -
Adventure is about embracing the unexpected, and you never know what to expect on one of Chad and Clark’s adventures.
Ominous circling sharks might turn out to be friendly synchronised swimmers, where as cute hamsters might
be feared and ruthless pirates. It’s all about encouraging imagination, thinking out of the box and having fun!
■Exploration - Expanding minds though imaginative worlds and characters! -
Exploration in Chad & Clark’s Adventure Island is based on the idea of “venturing into the world unknown”.
Through experiencing new things, entering new places and meeting new people we expand our world, and
as a result expand ourselves, our minds and our hearts. We come to better understand our world and who
we are at our core, and enrich our lives in doing so! -

Battlecry
NIKKATSU CORPORATIONSummary :
An astonishing CG animated feature created single-handedly!
A fictitious 1980s Japan. Soji, a soldier on furlough, returns to his country. He receives a request from Haya, who was sent from the World Bank, to help her on a mission to investigate the actual circumstances of a narcotic.
Detail :
One can't help but be shocked by the art direction of the animation for the "fictitious 1980s Japan" Soji and Haya go to at the start. For example, the numerous criss-crossing elevated highways, the futuristic monorails seemingly flying through the air, or the colorful buildings which look like Hong Kong's skyline. However, it is unmistakably the retro scenery of Japan with streetcars and red lanterns. Audiences charmed by the marvelous sight of such a world will be instantly grabbed by the thrilling and touching story which unfolds thereafter. Director Yanakaya, who studied filmmaking at university, practically made this film single-handedly. He made some short films, including both live-action and animated works. This is his debut feature film. -

Children of the Sea
STUDIO4℃ Co., Ltd.Manga artist Daisuke Igarashi continues to enchant readers with his unique line work and artistic expressions. His first long-form work, Children of the Sea (published by Shogakukan IKKICOMIX) tells the story of a summer encounter between a 14-year-old girl and two brothers raised by dugongs. With a theme of respect for nature, this masterpiece transforms into pure entertainment through mysterious story development and the overwhelming power of art. The film engrosses its audience with animation and music that virtually overflow from the screen. It brilliantly realizes themes that were present in the original manga such as the silence and roughness of the sea and the scent of the ocean. This latest work is from STUDIO4°C, known for producing films such as Tekkonkinkreet. The studio has received international praise for its cutting- edge visual expressions. What they created is an ocean adventure tale born from the interweaving of the Japanese animation world’s greatest treasures.
The Japanese cast is full of renowned talent. Mana Ashida, an actress who appeared in Hollywood movies after first becoming known from the television drama Mother, plays the female protagonist. Hiiro Ishibashi, a voice actor who gained notoriety for his angelic voice as Miguel in the Japanese dub of Disney’s Coco, and Seishu Uragami, an actor who portrayed Sanada Yukimaru’s eldest son Daisuke in the NHK Taiga drama Sanadamaru, play the mysterious brothers. Win Morisaki, an actor whose talents were recognized by Steven Spielberg and cast as Toshiro in the movie Ready Player One, also is part of the film. Most of the main voice actors were close in age to the characters they portray in the film. Supporting them is a team of talented actors who each contribute their unique personalities, including Goro Inagaki, Yu Aoi, Tohru Watanabe, Min Tanaka, and Sumiko Fuji.
World-famous Joe Hisaishi composed the film’s music, his first time working on a feature-length animation film since last composing music for Studio Ghibli’s The Wind Rises and The Tale of The Princess Kaguya. Additionally, musical artist Kenshi Yonezu was so smitten by the film that he was inspired to write his first-ever theatrical theme song, Spirits of the Sea. One could say that the “sounds” developed by this team, which add so much color to the dangerous, dense, and profound world of the story, serve as an alternative face to the film. -

Still Sick
WOWMAX Inc.This is a proposal for a TV anime series project based on the Pixiv comic "Still Sick".
With the changing relationship between two women as the main focus, the story depicts a human drama that goes beyond the boundaries of yuri and romantic comedy.
Due to its high level of perfection, the series has received many responses from both inside and outside of Japan even after it ended.
Still Sick has been published in English, Chinese, Korean, Spanish, and French as well as Japanese, and won the Best Yuri Award at MANGA BARCELONA 27 (2021), the largest manga and anime convention in Spain.
Taking into account the nature of the original work, we are considering a wide variety of adaptations including a live action project and an animated film. We are in the process of consulting with several companies regarding this project.
Still Sick is a work that will capture the hearts of the audience regardless of age or gender.
This is not just a love story; it is a coming-of-age story for those who have already come of age, where the characters overcome their failures and conflicts and grow as people.
It depicts human relationships in a nuanced way unbound by the confines of gender. The special connection between the two leads is well matched to the current societal emphasis on diversity.
While it is a classic story of growth, it also contains many comedic elements. The delicate balance between seriousness, comedy, and romance will keep the audience’s attention and leave them with a positive aftertaste.
In lieu of dramatic twists and turns in the story, for the animated adaptation, we will aim for nuance in the music, art, and performances to create a delicate work focused on the characters’ feelings. -
