So it might be an experience similar to the eerie encounter with ourselves in a time machine. ‘ commented.
In addition, screening plans for related works commemorating the release of “Yojohan Time Machine Blues” have also been revealed. “The Night is Short, Walk on Girl” will be screened on October 4, and “Summer Time Machine Blues” will be screened at Ikebukuro HUMAX Cinemas in Tokyo on October 5.

Comment from Yusuke Nakamura (character designer)
Actors from the European project also appeared in the theatrical and movie version of “Summertime Machine Blues,” which is the basis of this work. It was a lot of fun creating them as characters because they all have their individuality, just like Masayoshi Choujin and Kimen-gumi.
In this work, Mr. Riki Honda, who originally played the role of “Tamura-Kun,” became an independent character. Mr. Makoto Ueda didn’t have an offer, but he wanted me to appear, and he was hired. The future is something you have to seize.
Comment from Makoto Ueda (original draft/screenplay)
I never thought there was a worldline that could live in this world. Master Higuchi taught me that what defines us is an impossibility, but this time, I couldn’t help but think that the world is full of possibilities.
All the cast members participated in the post-recording, and it was a situation in the European project that gave the voices to the characters who had the face of the European project. It may be an experience similar to the eerie encounter with ourselves in a time machine.
