Yuko Sakurai

Two brothers are in the spotlight: one a movie star making a football movie, the other a musician who occasionally goes to school (to cover for his sibling). What will destiny bring them?

An experimental short film based on Maki Kusumoto’s KISS XXXX. Released in February 1991, this visually driven work features musical contributions from the underground Japanese bands Katsurei, Sakana, and dip the flag. Fusing Kusumoto’s signature gothic-romantic aesthetic with atmospheric soundscapes, the film stands as a rare artifact of Japan’s early ’90s avant-garde scene.
