“BADBOYS” Hiroshi Tanaka, who has sold over 55 million copies, and Ryu Nakayama, the director of the popular anime “Chainsaw Man”, started production in Fuchu-cho, Hiroshima. Condensed into high density of around 1 minute of real location x family breathing. The release is scheduled to be released on the town’s official channel in the 8th year of Reiwa!

Set in Fuchu-cho, Hiroshima Prefecture, the short animation “Fucking Happiness, Fuchu Town” was released in 2019.
The production of the sequel will finally begin.

The original is Hiroshi Tanaka, a manga artist who is from Hiroshima and has worked on “Badboys” and “Kippo” (professional ambassador to Fuchu Town).
The general director is Ryu Nakayama, an animation director who was involved in topical works such as “Chainsawman” and “Magical Battle” (Andraft Co., Ltd.). Keisuke Tamura (Randezvous Co., Ltd./Representative of Ran de Voo), who crosses the three areas of video, sound, and planning, will participate in the sound director.

In the new work, the eldest daughter was born in the previous main character, “Tsubakicho Family”. The aftermath of “The story that started with the second son’s birthday” is depicted with family ties and warmth of everyday life. The release is scheduled for April 8, 2019, when the new vision of Fuchu-machi, the “Fifth Comprehensive Plan,” will begin.

 Production team profile

Born in Fuchu Town, Hiroshima Prefecture. His representative work “BADBOYS” has sold over 55 million copies, and has produced many media such as dramas and movies. Currently serializing “KIPPO” in the youth magazine “Young King”.

[Comment]
Fuchu-cho, Aki-gun, Hiroshima Prefecture, which has the largest population in Japan (maybe the world level?!), and is ranked first in the city’s “city-living cozy ranking <China>” for 6 consecutive years. I am proud to be involved as a PR ambassador! ! Please enjoy the story of the Tsubaki-cho family with the eldest daughter [Kokoro-chan] who lived in the previous work.

General Director: Ryu Nakayama (Animation Director/Andraft Co., Ltd.)

A new generation of creators who has gained a lot of attention as the director of the series for the anime “Chainsawman” (MAPPA/2022). He is also in charge of directing the 19th episode of “Jujutsu Kaisen” “Black Flash”, and has received high acclaim for his cinematic composition and production. In 2023, he established his own studio, Andraft Co., Ltd. Although he is a small number of elites, he is active beyond genres such as video, commercials, and MVs.

In this Fuchu-cho animation, we will challenge with a unique style that draws a realistic texture and a “daily-to-handle everyday”.

[Comment]
Through the anime, I would like you to feel the “Fucher Town” and the realistic atmosphere of living in this town. Even though it is short, I value the breathing of the scene.

 Sound director: Keisuke Tamura (Randezvous Co., Ltd. / Ran de Voo representative)

Producer/audio director who crosses video, advertising, and digital.
Working on the YouTube drama “Play Distortion”, he specializes in producing sound, video, and story.
In this work, we pursue the expression of “showing the town by sound” by delicately capturing the sounds of the town’s daily life and the breathing of the people.

[Comment]
We want to set up the scenery of the town with the sounds of life, the sound of footsteps, the wind, and the interactions of people.

 Stories and highlights

The previous work “Enchanted Happiness, Fuchucho” (60 seconds) is an animation of the actual facilities and scenery in the town. I drew a picture of a family growing up after the birth of a second son. In this sequel, we will draw a more multi-layered family connection around the birth of the eldest daughter.

Balancing work and childcare, misunderstandings, and bonds

As an “animation that turns a mere 1 minute into a treasure”, it will be close to the daily life of the viewer.
