Shodo Girls!! Watashitachi no Koshien (DVD) (Japan Version)
In the tradition of hit comedies like Swing Girls and Hula Girls, director Inomata Ryuichi (A Tale of Mari and Three Puppies) offers his own take on the formula with Shodo Girls! Watashitachi no Koshien. Loosely based on real events, the film follows a group of high school girls who excel in the unlikeliest of competition activities: calligraphy. This isn’t your grandfather’s style of calligraphy, though; the competitive version of the activity involves a much larger canvas, with a team needing to unite and fill the paper canvas using large paintbrushes. Narumi Riko (Shindo) leads a cast of talented fellow young actresses in this inspiring tale about overcoming hardships, the true importance of teamwork, and finding passion in doing what you love.
Satoko (Narumi Riko) is the granddaughter of a calligraphy master living in a run-down factory town. A talented calligrapher in her own right, she’s only interested in getting the individual prize in the annual inter-school calligraphy tournament rather than getting the glory for her school with the fellow members of the school club. That all changes with the arrival of the club’s new advisor Ikezawa (Kaneko Nobuaki), who comes up with the idea of turning calligraphy into performance. Initially disgusted by the idea, Satoko is eventually inspired by Ikezawa and her club mates, especially Kiyomi (Takahata Mitsuki), who wants to use the new calligraphy style to revive her family’s stationary shop.
DVD Edition comes with a documentary, stage events, trailers, and a photo album..
