"Blonde" on DVD release! Pretending to know, pretending not to notice, and pretending to be an adult solve everything - or so he thinks... a major uproar that shakes society strikes a junior high school teacher. On that day, two events occur that greatly change the life of junior high school teacher Ichikawa. One is that dozens of students in his homeroom class come to school with their hair dyed blonde. The other is that his girlfriend brings up the topic of marriage. Caught between the "Blonde Protest," which escalates into a major uproar involving the media, the internet, and even the Ministry of Education, and the biting lecture from his girlfriend after listening to his daily complaints, Ichikawa teams up with Itaroku, the mastermind behind the "Blonde Protest," and launches a certain plan to escape his predicament. With work problems and life decisions rushing in all at once, can Ichikawa grow from a "painful adult" who thinks he is forever young and that everything is going smoothly into a "proper adult" and overcome all of these trials!? Winner of the Audience Award at the 38th Tokyo International Film Festival! It wins the Audience Award in the Competition section of the 2025 Tokyo International Film Festival. Starring Takanori Iwata, who continues to appear in high-profile works! Takanori Iwata, known in recent years not only for his activities with Sandaime J SOUL BROTHERS and as a solo artist but also for his remarkable work as an actor, plays the unexpected role of Ichikawa, a "painful" junior high school teacher who is neither young nor middle-aged and cannot objectively see himself. A splendid cast gathers! Tamaki Shiratori of "Rurou no Tsuki" plays Itaroku, Ichikawa's student who devises the "Blonde Protest," Mugi Kadowaki of "Ano Ko wa Kizoku" plays Ichikawa's girlfriend Akasaka, and Maho Yamada of "Jikobukken Zoku Kowai Madori," Kentaro Tamura of "Shinkansen Daibakuha," and Chika Uchida of "Okasan ga Issho" appear in supporting roles. Directed by Yuichiro Sakashita of "Kessen wa Nichiyobi"! Yuichiro Sakashita, who has always turned human foolishness into laughter with a cynical point of view, is part of the new generation of comedy filmmakers. This work, with an original script written by Sakashita himself, becomes a fresh-sensation movie full of originality through its eccentric story development and distinctive characters. It also wins the Grand Prize for Non-Hong Kong Film Projects in the IDP section of one of Asia's largest project markets, the "Hong Kong Asia Film Financing Forum (HAF)." The 103 minutes of bonus video contains making-of and interviews, the 38th Tokyo International Film Festival (red carpet), the 38th Tokyo International Film Festival (official screening stage greeting), advance screening in Osaka stage greeting, release commemorative stage greeting, trailers, a teaser trailer, and TV spots.
