The theme

Enjoy the subculture movie

Last year, "Mt. Fuji" was registered as a World Cultural Heritage and Japanese food was registered as a UNESCO Intangible Cultural Heritage, and it was a year when the cultural charm of Japan attracted attention internationally. Subculture is one of the representative fields of Japanese culture that must not be forgotten. With Japanese anime and manga being broadcast and published in Asian countries, and cosplay being enjoyed by European lovers, Japanese subculture has achieved its own development and is spreading to the world. The Olympics ended the other day, but now that the international situation is in a delicate equilibrium, sports and culture are very attractive perspectives that open up international exchange, which tends to be political economy-oriented, with a fresh sense. .. This time, we picked up the works currently being released in Shibuya under the theme of "subculture," which is one of the great attractions of Japan that is proud of in the world. "Kick-Ass Justice Forever" where young people who yearn for heroes play an active part in life size, "Game Center CX THE MOVIE 1986 Mighty Bomb Jack" that conveys the fun of Famicom games that still have many fans, and "Mighty Bomb Jack" that cuts into the world through popular media such as manga A man who tried to change the world with manga. " The appearance of people who keep their thoughts on their favorite things is beautiful regardless of nationality.

In 1896, Daisuke, a boy who loves NES, confronts to regain the game software "Mighty Bomb Jack" that was "borrowed" by the bad guys in order to make a promise with Kumiko.

Daisuke and Arino, who are tied together with NES software. How is their love and challenge going? Another "Sunset on Third Street" full of homage to the 80's and love for games.
