Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaProduction was put on hold following Gackt's announcement of an indefinite hiatus in September 2021, due to an early onset neurological disease that was progressing into a "life-threatening condition," resulting in dysphonia (disorder of the voice). However, Gackt made a slow recovery, and the film resumed production in October 2022.

Featured review
This sequel to the 2019 movie plays with the same tropes, i.e. Deliberate over exaggerated acting (which by itself is quite impressive), stereotypes (positive or negative) about local prefectures and behaviors, and some subtle or not that subtle homosexual or asexual depiction of characters. And it plays all those tropes very well. Even more so that the first opus, the movie is funny as hell, provided one has the right references. "Speaking Japanese" is clearly not enough, it requires some understanding of modern and not so modern pop cultural trends or memes. One has to be able to make the difference between local accents and expressions (granted, quite typical). This sequel is definitely not a film that will be easily exported, compared to the first movie where the overall scenario was more "easy to grasp" for foreign audiences, even without getting all the references. .
It's funny, very funny... if you came to IMDB for a review in English, it may mean you are considering a watch.... A sub will be tough, as play on words and local accents make some situation difficult to understand in writing. And a dub.... no idea how one could make a dub work....
