The official poster, trailer, and theme song for the film *Parallel and Vertical*, starring NON and Shota Yasuda in dual lead roles, have been unveiled.
The newly released official poster features the older brother, Daiki (played by Yasuda), and his younger sister, Nozomi (played by NON), standing side by side and gazing straight at the viewer.
The title logo is positioned right between them.
Filmed in the shopping district of Sakai City, Osaka—the setting for the film and the setting of their daily lives—the visuals capture the everyday lives of Daiki, who works as a street cleaner, and Nozomi, who works as a counselor.
With their refreshing and hopeful expressions, the two seem to be on the verge of taking a “new step forward” together, prompted by Nozomi’s engagement.
The official trailer begins with Daiki’s line, “Dinner is at 7 p.m.,” and depicts the simple daily life of Daiki and Nozomi, who share a meal together once a week.
Although the talk of marriage progresses, Nozomi reassures Daiki by saying, “Nothing will change from how it’s been,” but as the people and environment surrounding them gradually shift, Daiki ends up causing a commotion…
Additionally, the theme song, “Let’s Talk” by Bui featuring Shota Yasuda, was unveiled for the first time in this trailer.
Furthermore, it has been decided that @Loppi-exclusive pre-sale movie tickets (convenience store) with merchandise will be available!
