About This Book
Following last year's sensitive Way of Blue Sky, director Nagasawa
Masahiko continues to deal with coming-of-age tropes in Yoru no Picnic
(a.k.a. Night Time Picnic). The film follows a group of high school
students on a strenuous day-long hike during which they discover new
sides of themselves. The story is adapted from author Onda Rika's
popular same-titled novel, which earned Onda the Yoshikawa New Literary
Writer's Award and the second Honya Award. Yoru no Picnic features a
talented young cast including Tabe Mikako and Nishihara Aki who
previously appeared in Way of Blue Sky, Ishida Takuya (Rough), Ikematsu
Sosuke (Yamato), model Kato Rosa, and Kaku Tomohiro (Hana and Alice).
Takako's (Tabe Mikako) high school has a unique tradition. Every year,
the school's 1000 students walk 80 kilometers in 24 hours. As this is
her final year of high school, Takako decides to work up the courage to
talk to her stepbrother You (Ishida Takuya), whom she has never spoken
to before. Classmates who are unaware of their relationship read
something more into their awkward overtures. -- From the Film version
