Looking back, I have ridden about eight motorcycles. The first time I rode a motorcycle was quite late, when I was over 20 years old after coming to Tokyo. I was not that interested in motorcycles, but for some reason I suddenly wanted one, so I bought my first bike with my meager allowance, which was the well-known RD50, a 50-cylinder, 2-stroke road bike by Yamaha, which existed at that time!　I had a car license, so I bought it and started riding it from a motorcycle shop. My first impression of riding a motorcycle on the road was that the ground flowed under my feet at high speed (actually 30 km/h) on its own, even though I was not doing anything on my own. I'm remembering the initial (sweaty) feelings I had at that time, and cutting the conte for Hane's first bike scene.

A high school girl riding a motorcycle. It is a dreamlike scene for a motorcyclist, but at the same time, it is a situation that is rarely seen. However, I had heard rumors that there was a manga that embodied this ......, but I had no idea that I would be involved!　As a motorcyclist myself, I am truly overjoyed. As a motorcyclist myself, I am truly overjoyed to be able to share with you the many dreams (poisons?) that are scattered throughout this work. I will do my best to deliver to you the many dreams (poisons?) that are encrusted in this work!

I have been riding a motorcycle for a long time. I'm not a good rider or a fast rider, but it's fun to ride along on my bike. It's fun to ride a motorcycle, isn't it? (I haven't been on a long touring trip for a long time...) "Bak-ON! I will do my best!

I was given the opportunity to read the original work and found it very interesting, so I read through it right away (laugh). I had initially received up to volume 5 of the original work, but I immediately purchased volume 6. I had already wanted to ride a motorcycle for a long time. I have always wanted to ride a motorcycle, but I have never had the chance, so I would like to go on a trip with Hane and the others through this work!

Sound Director：Takeshi Takadera
I got my motorcycle license at the age of 16, when the motorcycle boom was unprecedented!　With the lifting of the ban on full cowls, racer replicas were in their heyday!　The mountain passes were 2-stroke 250 vs. 4-stroke 400. I didn't like the peakiness of the 2-stroke bikes, and I didn't have the money to pass vehicle inspections, so looking back, all I rode were 4-stroke 250s (laughs). is a long-awaited work for that generation!　With the cooperation of various companies, we used actual vehicles for the sound effects and had the actors experience the feeling of riding an actual vehicle. We hope that our generation and returning riders, as well as young people, will enjoy this film.
