Whilst working as a full-time employee, Umi Kaneda (Yuriko Yoshitaka) had been repeatedly sneaking into other people’s memorial services, helping herself to the buffet and then leaving. One day, at a venue she had wandered into, Kaneda happened to come across some familiar faces. They were her former teammates from the women’s futsal club at university, where she had once served as captain. Among them were her best friend, Keiko Yamagata (Honami Sato), and even Mizuki Kawagoe (Sayaka Yamaguchi), the club advisor she had always resented. The portrait of the deceased showed Kimi Shirazawa (Hinako Sakurai), a junior she had once played alongside on the pitch. ‘Why wasn’t I invited?’ — Her present life and her glorious university days begin to intertwine. Was that brilliance truly genuine?!
Directed by Ryuta Hourai, シャイニングな女たち leans on a strong ensemble — Yuriko Yoshitaka, Honami Sato, Hinako Sakurai — to carry a story that balances spectacle with character.
The film landed with audiences for its craft and performances, and remains one of the most talked-about screen titles of 0.
