Kill the Flower Bud!
Directed by Banmei Takahashi
A man (Shimomoto Shiro), who is an assistant to a star singer, and a woman (Tajima Haruka), who specializes in playing passersby in TV dramas, go on a trip on a motorcycle. They don't have any particular destination in mind, but they just think that speeding down mountain roads on a motorcycle will make them feel refreshed. Both he and she were struggling to protect their dreams in the city every day. They lived in agony, searching for a way out. When Tajima's long hair fluttered in the wind, Shimomoto began to confess. At that moment, a slight sense of unease began to grow between the two lovers...
