Director Statement :
I have tried to express the inner conflicts that everyone experiences in their teenage years in a light-hearted way that is appropriate for the current era, without being too gloomy. I am confident that this work will be enjoyed by both those who are in the midst of their teenage years and those whose teenage years have come to an end far in the past. I have been making TV commercials for 20 years. I may be what you would call a veteran, but I am a complete newcomer to the film industry. Please give me your support.
