The behind-the-scenes video for the film "Mount Fuji, Coffee and the Formula for Happiness" (directed by Nakanishi Kenji, set to premiere on October 24th), starring Issei Mamehara of the popular boy band "JO1" and actor Ichige Yoshie, was released on October 8th. The video shows the behind-the-scenes of a scene in which Takuma, a coffee-obsessed character played by Mamehara, serves authentic coffee to his grandmother, Fumiko, played by Ichige.
The film tells the story of a family between a grandson who is lost in his dreams and a grandmother who has found her dream. Takuma, a university student who has begun living with his grandmother Fumiko, finds a university admissions guide in the study of his late grandfather, Eishi. It was a surprise for Fumiko, left behind by Eishi. Fumiko takes a step forward and enjoys her days of "studying," a dream she had as a young person. Meanwhile, Takuma is unsure of his dream and worries about his future. The two then discover a mysterious mathematical formula in the notebook of Eishi, who loved Mount Fuji... This is the story of Ichige's first leading role in a film in approximately 44 years.
