Our 30-Minute Sessions
The story of our beginning given by "goodbye".
Directed by Kentaro Hagiwara
Produced by Asmik Ace, Shueisha
A bittersweet supernatural romance about two souls—one living, one dead—sharing a body for fleeting moments to heal grief and reconnect with love through music.
College student Sota picks up a cassette tape left behind by musician Aki when he died a year ago. When the tape is played back, Aki takes over Sota's body for just 30 minutes. They share the same body and rush to reunite a band that split up and bring a smile to Aki's girlfriend Kana's face.
