(C) Goodbye, Don Glees Partners
--A rural town a little far from Tokyo.
The farmer's son, Roma (Natsuki Hanae), celebrates his first year of high school summer vacation and reunites with his best friend Toto (Yuki Kaji), who went on to high school in Tokyo.
The two, who had been unfamiliar with their surroundings since they were in elementary school, created a secret base in the mountains and formed a team called "Don Gries" alone.
However, this summer, a boy named Drop (Ayumu Murase) who came from Iceland to the town where Roma lives will join the group, and "Don Gries" will be three people.
Every year, classmates go to the fireworks display in the neighboring town, but only Roma and Toto are never invited.
Therefore, they prepared their own fireworks and fireworks and enjoyed their own fireworks display.
This year, I bought a drone that I had been interested in for a while to take an aerial shot of such a fireworks display.
Roma got the drone he had longed for and was enthusiastic about it.
(C) Goodbye, Don Glees Partners
Roma wasn't invited to the fireworks display in the neighboring town again this year.
Knowing such a situation, Drop proposes to try to make a small revenge for his classmates who call the roumas "acorns" and make a fool of them.
It was Toto and Drop, dressed as women on both sides of the well-dressed Roma, walking and dashingly passing by to show off to their classmates.
The boys fell in love with Toto and Drops, who had their make-up and stuffed balloons in their chests, misunderstanding that they were beautiful women, and the girls gave a yellow voice saying, "It smelled good."
Drop said he learned make-up from an older sister he met when he was in the hospital, and he also had a beautiful wig.
He secretly borrows his clothes from Toto's sister and succeeds in deceiving his classmates.
The drop proposal went well and the three of them made a fuss about starting a fireworks display, but the fireworks that Roma bought at a shop in the town were too old to catch fire, and the drone became uncontrollable and went missing.
Eventually, despite Toto's feelings that it was a violation to fly the drone at night, I heard a police car siren.
Toto is impatient that the drone has been found, but soon the siren of the fire engine echoes, and a burning smell drifts around.
Apparently a large wildfire broke out.
(C) Goodbye, Don Glees Partners
The day after the wildfire broke out.
I write on SNS that the culprit who caused the forest fire by my classmates is Roma.
Even the wreckage of the fireworks that did not catch fire was grasped, and even a photograph was posted as evidence.
Aside from Roma and Toto, who somehow want to break through the status quo, Drop says he wants to go find the missing drone.
So Toto thinks that the images taken by the drone may be a proof of their innocence, but at the same time, they struggle to find out that they were flying the drone at night and dressed as a woman.
However, Drop is willing to look for a drone, partly because he poured in all of Roma's fortune and bought it.
For the time being, when Roma looked up the location information of the drone, it turned out that he had flown to the mountains about 61 km away.
Toto is desperate to find that it will take one night to reach his destination, but Roma and Drop are no longer looking forward to it.
Thus the three decided to go looking for a drone.
Three people who decided to go on a journey to find a drone.
Roma and Toto meet on a bicycle and Drop on a kick scooter in front of a tunnel that has never been to the other side.
Drop described the kick scooter as a traveling companion, and he laughed that he had to see his last adventure.
Although I started, the road was closed due to the forest fire the other day, and there were police and fire departments investigating everywhere, so the trip did not go as planned.
Roma and Toto, who were afraid to be found by the police because they were rumored to be the culprit of the wildfire, went off the road and encountered a bear in the mountains.
The three managed to escape, but they got lost in earnest.
Even so, he did not give up and proceeded to the front of the drop that opened the way, but contrary to the following Roma, Toto began to show impatience and irritation.
Eventually, knowing the scenery that I had never seen and the feelings of each other that I had not talked about, the journey to find a drone turned into an unexpected adventure ....
The core of the story is "treasure hunt".
The treasure was not as easy to understand as a gold and silver treasure, but an intangible one.
First, Roma, Toto, and Drop are made into the criminal who caused the forest fire, and go on a journey to find a drone to prove their innocence.
It seemed like they were going through various happenings, but eventually they started to collide with each other.
Toto, who was impatient and frustrated in the middle of a distress, broke his numbness and quarreled with a drop.
Among them, he says that "Don Gries" is not good as a high school student.
This is what Toto was saying when he reunited with Roma at the beginning, so it's his true intention, but he probably couldn't say it because he didn't want to hurt Roma.
Toto looks depressed when he sees Roma who has gone away, but he tells Drop that Roma isn't going far and expresses his feelings.
Toto is a talented doctor who is aiming to become a doctor, so to speak, he is promising in the future.
He grew up as the son of a hospital and ran on the rails laid by his parents.
He was aware of that, and felt uncomfortable in the process of his growth.
However, Toto is an excellent and proud best friend for Roma.
That is why Toto did not expose his weaknesses to Roma.
While looking at Toto, who brought the reference book to such a mountain, with a stunned look, Drop felt Toto's efforts so far.
And this exchange between Toto and Drop was heard by Roma who was a little far away.
Roma is surprised at Toto's soft noise for the first time, but he is squeezed.
On the other hand, Roma, who was described as not far from his best friend Toto, has only acted as far as he can ride a bicycle.
He refuses to be invited by Toto to go to Tokyo with him when he goes to high school, and he seems to be trapped in a small world.
Meanwhile, he began to be aware of his junior high school classmate Tivoli (Kana Hanazawa), and since she moved to Ireland, that feeling has become stronger.
The farmer's son, Roma, is apparently a relative of the farmer, and was asked to name the spinach made by his uncle, naming him "Yggdrasil."
"Yggdrasil" is a world tree in Norse mythology.
Where Tivoli moved-if Roma investigated Scandinavia, it's no wonder he knew it.
This area was also described in the visitor privilege "DONGLEES GUIDE BOOK -Let's go on an adventure with Don Gries-" distributed at the theater.
It seems that her admiration is increasing because Tivoli has taken off into an unknown world somewhere far away from here.
That's because Roma knows only a small world, she doesn't even go out on her own, but she still wants to know what she doesn't know, and she wants to see what she hasn't seen. ..
She was looking for a drone because she poured all her fortune into it, and she wanted to do something different from the usual summer, so her curiosity won.
In this way, she feels frustrated and obstructed that she lacks something, and anxiety about the uncertain future.
Roma and Toto are the ones who have the feelings peculiar to adolescence.
On the other hand, Drop is a boy with a mysterious atmosphere.
He's positive, straight, cheerful, cute and childish, yet he has a more subdued idea than Roma and Toto, and makes some enlightening remarks ...
Trying to say "the last adventure" or "I've come to find the treasure" confuses Roma and Toto at key points, but they all literally mean.
Although not explicitly stated, Drop has no life expectancy when he arrives in Japan due to some illness and will die later in the story.
Roma and Toto, and the elements that we, the audience, notice this, were studded from the beginning, contributing to the mysterious atmosphere of the drop.
When I was dressed as a woman, when I was told that my sister I met at the hospital taught me how to make up and got a wig, Toto mistakenly asked, "Hospital? Beauty salon?" Probably.
Also, from the appearance that Drop is stretching his hair "because it has grown again", it can be seen that there was a time when his hair was absent due to the influence of illness and he was trying to do hair donation.
Hair donation is an activity to make wigs from donated hair and provide them free of charge for children who have lost their hair due to childhood cancer or congenital alopecia.
It is one of the activities that has become widespread in Japan in recent years, but since it takes a certain amount of time to donate, it may be a little difficult for men to carry out.
However, after Drop died, it turns out that Roma and Toto stretched their hair and went to the hairdresser together for hair donation.
Then, when they notice the "treasure map" left by Drop, they set out for Iceland where he was.
There is a huge golden waterfall, a rainbow over it, and for some reason there is a red public telephone nearby ...
Roma and Toto arrive at the place exactly as they were told, and hear the pay phone ring.
The phone was said to tell us what the treasure of the person who answered it was, and Drop heard it and came to Japan.
The two rushed to answer the phone, but the moment they picked up the handset, they hung up and noticed two things when they hung up.
It was familiar to me on this phone number, and that the treasure of Drops was their existence.
Once Tivoli had gone to Ireland, Toto had obtained the phone number for her move and was trying to get her to call Roma.
In the end, I thought the phone never got connected, but in fact this phone was connected to a red payphone, and by chance Drop picked up the handset and listened to the conversation between the two.
Toto had mistaken the country code for the international call, a country with similar names, Ireland and Iceland.
This mistake brought Drop to Japan and created an encounter with his treasure, "Friends (= Roma and Toto) who share the last adventure", and Roma and Toto took a big step forward.
With such a big gimmick prepared at the end of the story, the "treasure hunt for intangible treasure" that started from the drone hunt was successfully completed.
It was the last that strongly predicted that the bond between the three of them would continue even in the future when Drop died.
(C) Goodbye, Don Glees Partners
While drawing the feeling of irritation and blockage peculiar to adolescence, this work is packed with miraculous fantasy elements such as a red public telephone that is quietly in the wilderness.
It was the presence of the cast who played the main characters that was indispensable to fill the gap between Real and Unreal.
Natsuki Hanae, who played Roma, is known for her role as Tanjiro Kamado in "Kimetsu no Yaiba" and is one of the hottest voice actors who attracted attention with the hit of the work.
The YouTube channel is also popular and has captured the hearts of young people, so I was addicted to the role of a life-sized boy like Roma.
He seems to be weak and unconfident, and he is a bullied child, but when he is with Toto and Drop, he looks like a normal and energetic boy, and the contrast is very natural.
He never gave up and went forward, but many people remembered the scene where he enthusiastically said, "Don't give up!" To Drop, who broke his heart and made a soft noise. Is it not?
Yuki Kaji, who played Toto, is known for the role of Ellen Jaeger in "Attack on Titan," and I think he often plays a strong character.
He is a self-paced, easy-going detective, a high school student who speaks bluntly, and a talented character who also handles cute high-tone characters.
Toto of this work seems to be the busiest character with the most emotions among the characters, such as trying to dress up, making noise, getting hungry, getting angry, crying, laughing. rice field.
Still, it made me feel Toto's humanity in both the comical part and the serious part, and in the scene where I talked about the origin of the name "Don Gries", the dialogue that objectively looked at ourselves was impressive. ..
Ayumu Murase, who played the drop, said, "Haikyu !! !! Known for the role of Shoyo Hinata, her vocal range and expressiveness are so wide that she can also play the role of a woman.
Drop is a bright, high-pitched boy who, like his appearance, gives the impression of being young for 15 years old.
However, he has a very mature voice tone and way of speaking when he talks about his thoughts and conveys important things.
Ayumu Murase is the only one who can play such a rich and straightforward part of such a drop, a ephemeral place that makes you feel a shadow somewhere, and its duality! It was 95 minutes that seems to be.
And Kana Hanazawa, who played Tivoli, expressed her unique presence in a few appearance scenes.
Even though she's attracting everyone's attention, it seems more fun to look into the camera lens alone than to be in everyone's circle.
She may have a solid understanding of her "she's a treasure she doesn't know" that the Roma and his friends were looking for.
The message sent from her Tivoli to Roma did not have a voice, but it matched the atmosphere of Tivoli so much that it was reproduced in the brain by the voice of Kana Hanazawa.
How was that.
