MOSAIC STREET (2022)
This is a proof-of-concept I made to show what kinds of fantastic films/series Japan and Hollywood can make if they start casting minority Japanese actors without focusing on them being minorities. If you want to watch more stuff like this, RETWEET and help me spread the idea🙏
Starring Kota Ishijima @Kotaane, Ami Ide @amiidemusic, Ema Grace @ema84761077, Yuki Matsuzaki and Hiroyuki Watanabe. Directed by Shiho Fukada @shiho_fukada, Created by Yuki Matsuzaki
