Special music video for Motoki Ohmori's '0.2mm' x movie '90 Meters' released
A special music video for the song "0.2mm" by Motoki Ohmori (Mrs. GREEN APPLE), using footage from the movie "90 Meters" which opens on March 27, has been released on YouTube.
"0.2mm" is a film double-starring Soma Yamotoki and Miho Kanno. It depicts the story of a high school student son at a crossroads in his life and his single mother who has an incurable disease. The special music video, set to Ohmori's gentle yet powerful vocals, follows the trajectory of the parent and child. It shows how their once peaceful days are turned upside down, as the son struggles with caregiving and the mother grows frustrated with the reality of losing her freedom. They clash emotionally but, with the help of those around them, eventually reconnect.
Additionally, comments from Yuzuru Kawai (Einstein), Kurumi Inagaki, Uno Kanda, Keiko Kitagawa, Chiriko Sakashita, Tsubasa Masuwaka, Yu Yashiro, and Takumi Goto (Yonsentoshin) who have seen the film have also been released.
Comment from Yuzuru Kawai (Einstein)
The conflicting emotions and feelings, contrary to the family's care for each other, are depicted so carefully and delicately. Although it's not flashy at all, it was full of breathtaking scenes. I think it's a work that makes each viewer think about 'important distances'.
Comment from Kurumi Inagaki
When I understood the meaning of "90 Meters," tears overflowed. Their figures, living amidst struggle, are resilient, and their unspoken cries eventually become hope as they move forward. I really want people to see this fleeting, delicate, and wonderful process on the screen. It is a work where the love and kindness of thinking of someone, and the great love of Yu and Misaki, warmly envelop the viewer.
Comment from Uno Kanda
In a reality that cannot be changed, a mother's love wishes for the future of her child, who is more precious than her own life. And the son's feelings, who had to give up what he wanted to do. It struck my heart that even if things are physically resolved, the love for his mother will never disappear. I understood the feelings of both so painfully well that tears welled up many times. No matter what conclusion they choose, there is pain precisely because of the parent-child bond. I strongly empathized with that deep love, and it was a moving piece that warmed my heart with people's kindness and compassion.
Comment from Keiko Kitagawa
What connects the two is not an incurable disease or caregiving, but a strong feeling for each other.
The days when the parent and child thought of each other, suffered, and fought anxiety together.
A story of the true love of a mother and her son.
When I learned the meaning of 90 meters, the warm tears wouldn't stop.
For what purpose and how do we live in this present moment.
I am thinking about how I will spin the thread of my own life.
Comment from Chiriko Sakashita
"I do it because I have to." The child accepts the mother's illness as a matter of course. Or rather, because he has no choice but to accept it. Without doing club activities or playing like a high schooler should... only with his feelings for his mother. But what the mother truly wants is.... The sense of distance between the son, who has become less talkative, and his mother. Does it get conveyed even without talking? The reason I nag is because I'm thinking of you. There is only love there. The frustration of it not getting through. But, it is getting through properly, isn't it. A child becomes an adult by watching their parents. Parents are always worried about their children. Even when you've grown up, you are more beloved than anyone else.
Comment from Tsubasa Masuwaka
As a mother of a high school son, I can't count how many times I cried from beginning to end...
The perspective from the mother's side, the son's side, the friend's side—all the various emotions and pauses were so gentle and painful.
A single choice in daily life connects to someone and greatly changes a life. Please watch it with a large towel.
Comment from Yu Yashiro
Mother and child. It made me think deeply from both positions.
The environment where you can't rely on others, the importance of relying on others, and the sadness of it.
I am involved in child support and am in a position where I want people to "please rely on us" every day, so the reality of it squeezed my chest.
The feelings of each and every person are depicted very carefully and hit you straight on, and in the end, it's a movie that allows you to face "yourself."
Comment from Takumi Goto (Yonsentoshin)
Towards the end, I couldn't stop the tears from welling up.
It's not that a specific scene was tear-jerking, but throughout the entire film, there's a constant bond between Misaki and Yu that is conveyed without trying to make you feel it, and I was drawn into that greatest bond and couldn't hold back my tears.
I truly thought that no time is wasted. I'm also moved by the bonds of friendship and youth within that great bond.
It was a wonderful movie that reaffirmed the importance of cherishing what you have now, and everything that exists now.
