Cast: Aoi Morikawa Riko Masuda Tomoki Fujiwara Director & Screenplay: Junichi Kanai Written & Directed by Junichi Kanai 17th Busan International Film Festival, Songje Award Special Prize 7th Sapporo International Short Film Festival, Best Director, Best Domestic Film Comments Starring Aoi Morikawa Is it okay to see the innocent me from back then? Is it okay to show this for free? I wonder somewhere in my heart. It's very embarrassing to watch it myself now, but I'm sure there are many things I can learn from my younger self now. This made me want to watch it again. I'm proud that there is an opportunity for everyone to watch it again. I hope everyone will come and see it many times. Director Kanai Junichi I know it's strange to call my own work a masterpiece, but this film is. I probably won't say this again as a director, so I thought I'd say it now. Since making "Transfer Student" in 2012, it has been screened every year at film festivals and events, and has been loved widely and for a long time. Looking back at it, I was reminded that charm is not something that is created, but something that is captured. This film is filled with the innocent charm and sadness that only teenage girls have at that time. Please do see it.
