Kanseitou is a Japanese movie directed by Takahiro Miki. It was inspired by a song of the same name by the rock band Galileo Galilei. In the film, Kento Yamazaki plays a 15-year-old boy named Kakeru in frigid Wakkanai, Hokkaido who’s trying to figure out where he belongs. One day, he meets a transfer student named Mizuho (Ai Hashimoto). He finds an old guitar and starts a band with Mizuho, whom he’s decided reminds him of the character Little My from the Moomin story book and cartoon series.
