The main trailer, additional cast, and theme song have been revealed for the movie 'Mobuko's Love' (Director: Taiki Kazama, starring Hiyori Sakurada and Taisei Kido). To further enrich the world of 'Mobuko's Love,' a talented supporting cast has been announced: Ikoi Hayase as Haruna Abe, Erika Karata as Sachi Shinozaki, Takuya Kusakawa as Yuya Kaneko, Towa Araki as Yo Ono, and Kanji Furutachi as Tomonori Orihara. The theme song will be 'Clover,' a new song written by recording artist Nishina.
'I only want to be found by you.' This is the heartfelt wish at the center of this story about the world's quietest and most endearing first love, following the 'background characters' who have lived their lives in the shadows. Director Taiki Kazama, known for creating social phenomena like 'silent' and 'Umi no Hajimari' by vividly depicting the subtle nuances of the heart, now focuses his lens on the pure and trembling love of Nobuko, a university student who has given up on being the protagonist of her own life.
The newly released trailer starts with Nobuko (Hiyori Sakurada) searching for the word 'mob' on her phone—a term for a background character in a crowd. She has always lived her life from a distance, watching a world where others shine. At her part-time job at the 'Tokumaru' supermarket, she meets Irie (Taisei Kido). Touched by his thoughtfulness, she finds herself drawn to him and begins to struggle to break free from her shell. However, reality is harsh. During a job interview, she is unable to answer the question 'Tell me about yourself.' Supporting her are her overly cheerful junior colleague, Abe, and her senior, Shinozaki, who is also finding her own way. Meanwhile, Irie begins to notice Nobuko's deep kindness and sees her for who she is. The accumulation of small, everyday moments—the festival lights, the weight of groceries they carry together—gives her the strength to take 'one step' forward. What awaits these two as they begin to live their own lives, no longer just waiting to be found?
Regarding the theme song, Nishina commented: 'When I first saw the movie, the scene where the children's song 'Niji' (Rainbow) played was very memorable, and I expanded on that idea to write the song. No matter our age, the 'child' inside us always exists. Life has its worries and struggles, but I want to walk forward at my own pace, as if sometimes leading that child by the hand, protecting them, and playing with them.'
