Report on the completion announcement screening of the new theatrical OVA "Flag Time" (original text)

First of all, regarding his impression of the work when he read the original, Mr. Ito said, "Before I read it, I thought it would be a work that would show a lot of girls having fun, but in reality, there are fantasy elements such as Moriya's ability to stop time for 3 minutes and Murakami's deep worries, etc. I thought the film depicted realistic adolescent worries that only a high school student would have," Miyamoto said, "I was excited to see how the time-stopping scene would be expressed in the film, but it really looks great on the screen! I was excited to see how the time stopped in the video, but it really looks great in the video! Yasuzai-san added, "The visualization adds a sense of immorality to the scene where time has stopped.

Mr. Anzai said of Kobayashi, the character he plays, "She is insensitive in a good way. I envy her for being able to treat Moriya normally even when he avoids her! On the other hand, Mr. Ito and Mr. Miyamoto both said that they felt a lot of sympathy for the characters they played. Mr. Ito spoke passionately about the changes Moriya underwent as the story progressed, and Mr. Miyamoto said there were many heart-wrenching scenes.

Ms. Ito and Mr. Miyamoto covered "fragile" by Every Little Thing as a duet as the theme song of the film. Mr. Ito was very impressed with this song choice, saying, "Genius! Mr. Ito praised the song choice, "Genius! The "flag" in "Flag Time" means "fragile," and "fragile" has the same meaning," he explained.

In the last part of the talk corner, the three members answered the question "If you could stop time for three minutes, what would you do? The three panelists answered the question, "If you could stop time for three minutes, what would you do? Yasuzai and Miyamoto chose this theater as their stage, with Miyamoto saying, "I would eat all the popcorn flavors! Yasuzai answered, "I will watch everyone's faces! Anzai answered, "I will look at the faces of the people (in the theater)! On the other hand, Ms. Ito, who wrote her wish not only for this venue, answered, "I will stop the time of the hero show. Ms. Ito, who loves special effects heroes, expressed her desire to "stop time at the moment of a move and see the hero's signature pose from a close distance.

Finally, the three gave a few words on the release of the film. I hope that many people will enjoy the three minutes of Moriya and Murakami's passionate, slightly still, sweet, and bittersweet performance (Anzai). I think this work will remind you of someone in your youth (Mr. Miyamoto)." "Although they are in high school for a short time, Moriya and Murakami both grow up during that time. I hope you will be inspired and moved by the way they live their lives to the fullest (Mr. Ito).
