The “Shuri Gekijo (Movie Theater),” which is the main stage for the movie “Is Your Mind Ready to Never Sell?” is a “miracle movie theater” that opened in 1950 and continues to maintain almost the same appearance as when it was founded even now, 73 years ago. In this photo exhibition, you can see the transition of the times that the “Shuri Gekijo (Movie Theater)” has followed through many valuable photographs.
Overview of the movie “Are You Ready for a Lifetime to Never Sell?”
respect me! watch me! follow me! A musical film commemorating the 30th anniversary of the formation of the band “Yachimun” led by lonely musician NASU Shigeki. The legendary concert performed at Okinawa's oldest movie theater “Shuri Gekijo (Movie Theater)” is now being revived on the screen.
The band “Yachimun” from Okinawa celebrated its 30th anniversary in 2021. A musical film depicting the leader, Shigeki Nasu, and his eventful life as a musician. His songwriting ability has a good reputation among experts, but it's been 30 years since he had only one small hit... Right now, I spend my days earning money as a sink. There was a dreamy day where such an “unsellable man” was in the limelight. It is a live performance at the Shuri Theater (2016) that was performed to commemorate the 25th anniversary of the band's formation. NASU Shigeki, who is ecstatic in front of a full audience, puts on a flawless performance.
Director Hayashi Taima is an ally who has been shooting him for many years. While capturing the live performance performed by an 18-person big band with plenty of power, he conveys the unique appeal of the songs he spun through interviews with Nasu. This time, which is the fourth screening after the Shuri Gekijo (Movie Theater), UKISHIMA BREWING, and the Okinawa International Movie Festival (Yoshimoto Okinawa Kagetsu Theatre), the “Final Edition,” which has been re-edited differently from before, will be screened. Aged for 30 years, the cry of Okinawan old sake dateza (Okinawan koos dandy) should give smiles and courage to everyone who sees it.
