Kazumi (Satomi Kobayashi), who transfers to a junior high school in Onomichi, is reunited with her childhood friend Kazuo (Toshinori Omi). However, shortly thereafter, the two tumble down the stairs of a shrine, and in the process, their minds and bodies are swapped... Based on Tsunehiko Yamanaka's "Ore ga Aitsu de Aitsu ga Ore de," this juvenile fantasy was completed by "visual magician" director Nobuhiko Obayashi with an all-location shoot in his hometown of Onomichi. The film distinguishes between the monochrome depiction of the period before the swap and the color depiction after, effectively incorporating 8mm footage to vividly portray the charming, old-fashioned town of Onomichi. The fresh and energetic performances of the two leads are unforgettable, and I would assert this is a masterpiece that will remain in Japanese film history. Director Obayashi continued to shoot many talked-about films set in Onomichi, which came to be known as the "Onomichi Series" and are still beloved by film fans today. (Yasushi Matada)
