Daigo Matsui

　There is a Japanese movie that has gained popularity even before it was released in theaters. Daigo Matsui, the director of "Supporting Players" and "Kure Nazume", is inspired by the music of his ally Ozaki Sekaikan (Creep Hype), and created a movie "Just remembered a little". ⇒ [Photo] From the movie "I just remembered"

A "fixed point observation" love story that goes back in just one day

　This work is a "fixed point observation" that goes back in just one day over the six years from 2021 to 2015. "love story. Centering on the changing relationship between former dancer Teruo (Ikematsu Sosuke) and taxi driver Yeh (Ito Sairi), the clock is rewound from the present to the past, and memories are unfolded. This film, which won both the Audience Award and Special Mention at the 34th Tokyo International Film Festival in 2021, became a memorial for Matsui. "I've been working with Sekaikan Ozaki and Sosuke Ikematsu for more than 10 years, but we haven't been able to work together for the last four or five years. When 'Night on the Planet' was sent to me, I felt like the stopped time began to move."

What changed greatly was his ability to trust his surroundings and the audience

　Ozaki, who created the opportunity, also appeared as an actor in the play. The starring Ikematsu and the staff are all nostalgic members. “There were some things that felt good that they hadn’t changed, but I felt that I had grown more. I think it's a big change that I've come to believe in the image and draw it instead of thinking about it."

The protagonist of this film is a daily life.

　Sophisticated work was born from being able to look at things objectively, rather than being entirely subjective. This common understanding is also connected to the concept of this work, "The main character of this movie is the everyday life. I hope that the viewers will remember a little of the years and times they have spent." It is said that the ideas for the structure of the work were born because of the broadening of the field of view. “I used to think that film is an art that can depict time, and theater is an art that can depict space. I was enthusiastic about it, but at a certain point, I thought, ``That's enough.'' As a result, I was able to arrive at a format that depicts the lives of various people through fixed-point observation. During "Kurenamezume", there were times when it was cut out in a homosocial way that I didn't intend. I was very conscious of it.”
