Amazon Original Series "Modern Love: Tokyo" Includes K-ON! Director Naoko Yamada's Anime Episode

 

 

It has been confirmed that Modern Love: Tokyo, a Japanese remake of the American romantic comedy anthology Modern Love, will include an anime episode entitled "Kare ga Kanaderu Futari no Shirabe" (The music for the two played by him) directed by Naoko Yamada, the director of Kyoto Animation's K-ON!.

 

The original version was based on columns that appeared in The New York Times, and streamed on Amazon Prime Video for two seasons in 2019 and 2021. The Japanese version is set in Tokyo and consists of seven episodes that tell various stories related to love.

 

Yamada's "Kare ga Kanaderu Futari no Shirabe" is the only anime episode, and Haru Kuroki (Mirai Ota in Mamoru Hosoda's 2018 film Mirai) and Masataka Kubota (Ken Kaneki in the Tokyo Ghoul live-action films) are cast as its two main characters. Kuroki voices the good-natured Tamami Sakurai, while Kubota voices Rin Kajitani, Tamami's high school classmate.

 

The story is about Tamami, who cannot say what she wants to say, and her sweet and sour memories of her school days with Rin, whom she cared for in her heart but is now estranged from. Yamada says, "I hope it will be a story that will gradually light up your heart. I was a little nervous because this is the only anime episode, but I would be glad if you will enjoy it without any barriers as a form of story dealing with the common theme of 'love'."

 

Modern Love: Tokyo will be streamed worldwide on Amazon Prime Video on October 21, 2022.
