Storyline

"What a fantastic story! The tears won't stop." (Canadian, 28 years old) The original work is a flipbook comic called "Furiko" by the Japanese comedian Tekken with over 3 million video views. It was used in the official music video of the world-famous rock band "Muse" and achieved such distinctions as reaching No. 1 on iTunes' music video chart--this tale of a husband and wife, woven by Tekken, is inspiring emotion not just in Japan, but around the world.
On the theme of "time that cannot be taken back" from the Showa period (1926-1989) to the Heisei period (1989-), the grand story hidden within the original work is finally out in the open! ...And the conclusion you've been waiting for is quite unexpected! The emotional masterpiece that brought the world to tears has finally become a movie!
