YesAsia Editorial Description

From award-winning director Hiroshi Okuhara (Timeless Melody and Nami) comes A Blue Automobile (Aoi Kuruma), a stylish tale of modern Japanese youth! Based on a manga by Yoshimoto Yoshitomo, the film stars Arata (from Afterlife and Ping Pong) in his first leading role after a three year absence from film. With his spiky bleached blond hair, dark shades, and pale complexion, the twentysomething Richi (Arata) is most assuredly an enigmatic individual. Working as a part-time DJ and a record store employee, the man gives off an aura of eternal cool, but this image only serves as a mask to hide a trauma buried deep in Richi's past. Left with a scarred eye and a wounded spirit thanks to a childhood accident, Richi still feels the psychological burden of that past incident weighing down on him in the present day. Thus, over the years, he's been transformed into the kind of dark and brooding loner type that's sure to attract the interest of the female crowd. And attract ladies he does, as Richi has not only captured the affections of his career-driven, real estate agent girlfriend Akemi (Kumiko Aso), but also found an admirer in Akemi's sexually-liberated teenaged sister, Konomi (Ai Miyazaki)! It's in the middle of this complex love triangle that Richi is finally compelled to expose his hidden pain and come to grips with his own personal demons.

Director Hiroshi Okuhara and his co-scriptwriter Kosuke Mukai (Hazy Life) take an economical approach to A Blue Automobile's offbeat storyline, imbuing the narrative with a naturalistic feel that brings the film's diverse cast of characters to life. Featuring a supporting performance by Tomoro Taguchi as Richi's record store boss, A Blue Automobile isn't your typical movie about twentysomething angst, but a crackerjack film experience built of equal parts style and heart!

どれほど大切な人だったのか、今ようやく気が付いた。もう、遅すぎるだろうか。できるなら、もう一度抱きしめたい。青い車の行く先は、大切なものを心に刻む場所。そこには、海が、広がっていた。1日30本の煙草。悲しい嘘。両手いっぱいの花束。そうしてやり過ごす痛み。暇な中古レコード屋で働くリチオは、子供の頃の事故で目許に傷が残ったが、今こうして「生きているのがラッキー」だと思っている。けれど、いつもいいようのないイラ立ちや孤独につきまとわれているように感じ、誰にも本気で興味を持てずにいた。そんな時、恋人のアケミが突然の交通事故で死ぬ。「ずっと幸せならいいな」そう言って寄り添った、記憶の中に閉じ込められた彼女の笑顔は、いつだって優しい。両手いっぱいの花束を抱えてやってきた彼女の妹のこのみ。残された二人は青い車を海へと走らせる。事故の前日にアケミに告げた、リチオとこのみの秘密。こぼれ落ちる涙。「でも、苦しいよ。チクチクするんだ」。誰が悪いわけでもない。誰のことも傷つけたくない。青い車の窓の外には、海岸線がどこまでも広がっている…。
