In the summer of 1998, the filmmaker went home to Takasaki to film the birth of his brother and sister-in-law's child. Days go by and the child is still to be born. With time on his hands and no one to talk to, the filmmaker finds the phone number for a telephone date club, and calls up with an earnest de- sire: I'd like to talk to a girl.

Nakagawa shot “Coming Future” on the nights of December 24 and 25, 2009, in Shibuya, making it his location for an idealized Bohemia in the heart of Tokyo. Interesting interviews/discussions with Kenji Murakami, Nobuhiro Yamashita, Kenji Onishi, Tetsuaki Matsue and more... By far the most interesting sequence is with Kenji Onishi (“A Burning Star”). Wielding a super-8 camera, Onishi documents his own interview, taking random shots of street-life and buildings. He leavens his monologue with statements bordering between cliché and outré. “A movie that aims to make a message is boring.”

With a curious eye, he saw a UFO passing over the neighbor's roof, and strange things began to happen around him. The taste of the tap water changed, his clock kept getting wrong, his lover's behavior was strange, acquaintances and friends were acting oddly, and people in town started giving him strange looks. There must be something going on, he thought, and he became paranoid about the events happening unseen. Had the stress built up inside him diminished his ability to distinguish between fantasy and reality?
