Unification of Japan Episode Collection I: A Patriarch's Love

Nakajima (Yoshimi Tachi) returns to the office for the first time since the end of the self-isolation period. He urges everyone to sanitize and keep social distance, but the other members act like nothing’s changed. Unable to hide his frustration, Nakajima is further thrown off by Himuro (Yasukaze Motomiya), who also seems completely unfazed. In the midst of this, a letter arrives for Himuro—from Hayato Omiya, currently serving time in prison.

North Shinjuku 2055

An overly curious journalist sits face to face with a resident of the mysterious district of North Shinjuku. One is trying to understand the codes and unspoken truths of a closed community; the other gradually reveals his world. Daisuke Miyazaki delivers an unorthodox, futuristic sci-fi full of recursive effects and false appearances. Shot in lustrous black and white, featuring a series of still images, this impossible dialogue is like a response from the future to Chris Marker’s La Jetée. Harrowing yet leavened by humour, the story includes street kids, ancestral pariahs and, as you’d expect, yakuzas.

Mayonaka no Otome tachi

This unique short coming-of-age drama stars current and former members of the idol group "Sanspo Idol Reporters" (commonly known as SIR), formed in 2011 under the production of Sankei Sports. Haruka, Megumi, and Kyoko, the trio of idols "Harumegu," visit a pachinko parlor for a live event, but the town is suddenly overrun with zombies, causing the event to be canceled. Harumegu, along with pachinko parlor employees Moe and Eri, and patrons Ayaka, Shoko, and Rumi, are trapped inside the parlor until rescue arrives. There was already friction between Haruka and Kyoko, and between Moe and Eri, but in this extreme situation, these tensions gradually become more apparent, creating a tense atmosphere amid fear and tension over the zombies. The eight then begin a "confession contest," gradually regaining composure as each reveals their true feelings. The film is directed and written by Shinji Imaoka, known for "Reiko Iruka."

The village of Oshikamura in Nagano Prefecture with a beautiful view of the Minami Alps. On top of that deep mountain, Simon Piggott, 70, who moved from England 30 years ago, and his family live. As such, Oshikamura is a place that warmly welcomes newcomers and pursues a quiet, slow life where people help each other. However, since the start of the "Linear Shinkansen Project" for tunneling through the Minami Alps five years ago, many changes began to occur in Oshikamura. This film slowly observes these changes in Oshikamura.
