Thank you for viewing. 【60's Shonan Summer: A gem of a Shonan youth graph depicting a sensitive 12-year-old girl's summer experience】 A youth drama directed by the unique Katsumi Onuma, based on the original comic by Motoka Murakami. Set in Shonan, Enoshima in the 1960s, it vividly portrays the summer experience of Nagisa, a sensitive 12-year-old girl, with 60's hit numbers like "Koi no Bakansu" (Vacation of Love) in the background. ●Story In the summer of the 1960s, in Shonan. 12-year-old Nagisa lives with her mother, who runs an izakaya (Japanese pub), after her fisherman father passed away four years ago. For Nagisa, that summer vacation became a summer vacation she would never forget. To get a portable record player, Nagisa started working at a beach house run by her aunt. Influenced by her cousin Reiko, a delinquent girl, she gets a perm, goes to a dance party with Reiko's cool boyfriend who drives an American car, and is treated meanly by Mami, a rich, beautiful girl who has returned from Tokyo. One day, while practicing swimming at her favorite rock, she meets a boy she doesn't know. Hiroshi, a sickly boy from Tokyo, collects driftwood on the beach. Nagisa starts teaching Hiroshi how to swim, and they become close. ■Original work: Motoka Murakami "NAGISA" (Published by Shogakukan) ●Cast Madoka Matsuda, Arisa Inasaka, Yume Yoshiki, Kazunori Sasaki, Yuko Katagiri, Chiyomi Matsumoto, Yoshimi Ashikawa, Tokie Negishi, Kenjiro Ishimaru, Akiko Kana, Akira Emoto ●Staff Director: Katsumi Onuma Screenplay: Takeshi Saito / Osamu Murakami Producer: Shuichi Yokota Cinematography: Haruhisa Taguchi Lighting: Kazuo Yabe Art Direction: Issei Iwamoto Editing: Yosuke Yafune Sound Recording: Shimpei Kikuchi Music: Koji Endo Insert Songs: The Peanuts "Koi no Bakansu", Yuzo Kayama "Yozora no Hoshi" (Stars in the Night Sky), Betsy & Chris "Hana no You ni" (Like a Flower) I purchased this used and watched it only once.
