The movie "Kokuriko Sakaka" is based on the manga of the same name published in the girl magazine "Good Friend ()" from January to August 1980 (original authors: Takahashi Chizuru, Sayama Tetsuro). The story tells of Yokohama in the 1960s, a pure love between a 16-year-old girl and a 17-year-old boy. Along with the hustle and bustle on the eve of the Tokyo Olympics, the restlessness, excitement, and the refreshing world of seaside towns that were characteristic of Japan's post-war period of high economic growth in the last century have been reproduced one by one.

It was able to bring it to the scene. This time, the director is not a newcomer, but Miyazaki's son, Hayao Miyazaki, who made his official debut with " Earthsea Cycle " but has been criticized by all parties. In 2006 debut, the Mi ya za kiごro u of poor performance not only attracted his father's discontent, but also led to the original author Ursula K. Le Guin () for movies and even Hayao Miyazaki led su Tatari ji Bio ji bu ri question. After that, Wu Lang was buried in the snow by his father for 5 years. "If you fail again this time, you will quit your job as a director!" With the consciousness of breaking the boat, みやざきごろう re-directs the animation film. The background of the story is set in 1963, when みやざきごろう was not born. In order to accurately grasp the atmosphere of that era, he made a lot of reference to the youth movies taken by Nikkatsu Corporation at that time , such as "Red Flower and White Flower" (1962) and "Blue Mountain" ( 1963), "雨の中に消えて" (1963), "美しい暦" (1963), etc., from the lines of the characters in the play to the tone and speed of speech.
