Kaede, Ryota, Mana, Asahi, Haruka, Soshi, and Tatsumi were friends in high school. When they turned 22 years old, the six of them get together to visit their alma mater.

DIRECTOR’S NOTE

Misato Namba, an actress, asked me to direct a film she wanted to make with her friends. I had started making independent films a year earlier, and was happy to be asked by someone for the first time, so I immediately said I would do it. They came up with a “horror story set in a school” plot, and Jiro Matsuda, a screenwriter, converted it into a scenario, and then I shot it as I liked, making it various changes on location. Someone else came up with the idea, someone else wrote the script, and then we changed it on the set. It was fun to see how the story kept changing, and I still have fond memories of this film. We had a lot of fun shooting on the location limited within the school, so please enjoy watching the film.

REVIEWS ARTICLES
“"And Again We Are Going Up” is somewhat raw, but the combination of social drama, mystery, and supernatural thriller works quite well here, while Misato Namba provides an additional point of appeal. "
