Chiikawa the Movie: The Secret of the Mermaid Island at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya (August 2026)

My very first Chiikawa turned out to be the movie. Lulled by the cuteness, I was not ready for the chills of the second half: a solo cinema report with a Premium Box Seat and FOD points.

The Fall: 4K Digital Remaster at Morc Asagaya

A month after Meguro Cinema, I watched The Fall for the second time at Morc Asagaya. This time I focused on the story, Roy and Alexandria's tug of war, tears I saw coming, and Lee Pace. It may have just become my No.1 film of all time.

The Fall: 4K Digital Remaster at Meguro Cinema

A schedule change left me with a free afternoon, so I finally saw The Fall in 4K at Meguro Cinema. Every frame looked like a painting, a beautiful, heartbreaking film that took my breath away.

The Sun (dir. Aleksandr Sokurov)

The timing happened to line up, so I wandered into Meguro Cinema for the first time to watch The Sun — Sokurov's portrait of Emperor Hirohito around the end of the war. Heavy, nine-tenths of the way through, but unforgettable. A solo film outing that reminded me how good indie cinemas can be.

Kokuho (Dir. Lee Sang-il)

Six months after its release, I finally saw "Kokuho" from a premium seat I booked through sheer persistence. The story was a little predictable, but the music and visuals had me in tears. Three hours well spent at the cinema.

Blue Boy Trial (directed by Kasho Iizuka)

I went for Izumi Sexy's screen debut. Blue Boy Trial left me thinking about what I had not known beforehand, plus a voice I overheard on the escalator afterward. A solo movie outing.
