About A Summer Song
Kenichi Ichihara is absorbed in surfing, because he admires his father who is also a surfer. His father dies in an unexpected accident. Since then, Kenichi is estranged from surfing and the sea. One summer, by recommendation of Kenichi's friends Makoto Uehara and Daijiro Ohara, Kenichi decides to go to the sea. On the way to the sea, Kenichi meets two women Tsugumi and Emiko. He is pickpocketed by the women. When Kenichi gets to the sea, he happens to meet Tsugumi and Emiko again.
Directed by Yuji Nakamae, A Summer Song leans on a strong ensemble — Ryo Yoshizawa, Kodai Asaka, Tomoru Akazawa — 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 drama titles of 2016.
