Movie "License Return!?" Collaboration Poster

"License Return!?" is a story about a 70-year-old movie star, played by Hiroshi Tachi, who faces the crisis of being forced to surrender his driver's license, contrary to his own wishes. However, a journey begins to fulfill the wishes of his close friend and a promise to his beloved wife.

Currently, the number of My Number Cards issued surpassed 100 million last December and continues to increase steadily. As of the end of April this year, approximately 103 million cards have been issued, reaching about 82.7% of the population. Furthermore, many people are experiencing the convenience of the card as a safe and reliable identification document that can be used both in-person and remotely.

This time, to introduce to the generation who are considering surrendering their driver's license that the My Number Card can be used for identity verification after surrendering their license, we have decided to tie up with the movie "License Return!?" with the tagline "For identity verification after license surrender, use the My Number Card."

The Digital Agency will promote this initiative as an opportunity to convey the charm of the movie and to inform many people about the practical ways to use the My Number Card.

Movie "License Return!?" Work Introduction

Minami Jo (Hiroshi Tachi), a self-proclaimed movie star, faces the biggest pinch of his life at the age of 70——. Triggered by a motorcycle accident involving Makoto Ozaki (Ryudo Uzaki), a rival actor with whom Minami co-starred in his youth in the hit movie "Harley Rider," which is said to be Minami's origin, Minami's comment causes a misunderstanding, leading to the exaggerated interpretation: "Star actor. Minami Hiroshi (70) to voluntarily surrender his license." If this continues, he won't be able to drive his beloved Ferrari! He won't be able to make action movies anymore!

Contrary to Minami's worries, his agency president Miyake (Kotaro Yoshida) and manager Kawana (Nanase Nishino) try to persuade him to surrender his license, thinking, "Let's take this opportunity to have him surrender his license!" Just then, an offer comes in for a driver's license surrender CM for government publicity and a Hollywood movie offer! He can't surrender his license yet, not until he fulfills his close friend's wish and his promise to his beloved wife! Minami heads to Tohoku to find Ozaki's son, Ryo (Soya Kurokawa), and heads to the memorable one-lane road from "Harley Rider" to fulfill his promise to his beloved wife...
