Guess What? ‘Petal Dance’ Director Ishikawa Hiroshi Is Back!
- A beloved director’s big comeback!
- Details on his first film in over a decade.
- The unique “blue” vibe we’re already dreaming about.
- When and where you can finally watch it.
Finally, some news about a director we’ve been waiting for! We just heard that Ishikawa Hiroshi, the genius behind films like “Petal Dance” and “Tokyo.sora,” is back. Yep, after a loooong 13 years!
He’s known for movies that feel like a quiet, beautiful whisper. Remember the soft, dreamy visuals in “Petal Dance”? So pretty. We’ve missed that aesthetic so much.
His new project is called “the blue we touch.” How cool is that title? The original name is even more poetic: “Awo no Jo.” Sounds like it will have that calm, thoughtful vibe he’s famous for. We’re already picturing the shades of blue!
This film is in post-production right now. That means it’s almost ready! It’s coming out in Japan in 2027, thanks to Bitters End. That’s still a bit of a wait, but totally worth it. It got announced at a big film event, so the buzz is real.
Speaking of big news, have you heard about the latest spy show coming to Apple TV+? Or how about Paul Rudd’s fun detour after all that Kelly Clarkson drama? So much happening in entertainment! We also cheered loudly when the Singapore Film Fest stood strong against censorship. Good vibes all around!
Our Take
This is seriously exciting news. Ishikawa Hiroshi has a way of making films that just stick with you. His visual storytelling always feels so thoughtful. We bet “the blue we touch” will be just as captivating, maybe even more so after such a long break. We can’t wait to see what beautiful, subtle colors and feelings he brings to the screen this time. Bring on the blue!
