“I always wished to make a film like that, but I by no means thought I would be capable to,” Sakamoto points out in a assertion. “With this film, the dream I had offered up on has come accurate. I imagine viewers will be capable to expend a aspiration-like time with attractive tunes, gorgeous costumes, and charming men and women introduced to daily life by the ultimate cast, starting with Ryo Yoshizawa and Aoi Miyazaki. I hope you will take pleasure in this wealthy and passionate ocean cruise.”
