The Japanese Canadian Cultural Centre (JCCC) is offering Fly Me to Saitama, the live-action film adaptation of Mineo Maya’s Tonde Saitama manga, as a digital rental in Canada on August 21-23.
Rei and Momomi are captivated by each other, but Momomi knows Rei is from Saitama Prefecture.
The manga tells the story of two people split by a prefectural border, a Saitama “Romeo and Juliet.”
Hanawa performed the film’s theme song “Saitama-ken no Uta” (The Song of Saitama Prefecture).
