Production Begins on Director Takayuki Hirao's Latest Work: The Creative Team of Pompo: The Cinéphile Reunites Character Design by Shingo Adachi and Music by Kenta Matsukuma
The creative team behind Pompo: The Cinéphile, a film that captured the hearts of many with its love for movies, has reunited for an exciting new project!
Shingo Adachi, who is known for his work on Lycoris Recoil and Sword Art Online, will be in charge of character design. Kenta Matsukuma, who made his film music composition debut with Pompo: The Cinéphile and went on to contribute to Kamen Rider BLACK SUN, will compose the music. Animation production will be handled by CLAP, whose latest work, The Tunnel to Summer, the Exit of Goodbyes, was selected for the prestigious Annecy International Animation Film Festival.
This film marks Takayuki Hirao's first time directing a completely original work! It's a fresh film by a seasoned team. Intriguingly, the project is code named “Wasted Chef,” making it a cooking-themed film?! Please look forward to it!
We would greatly appreciate it if you would consider running an article covering this new information in your media. Thank you very much in advance for your kind consideration.
