Hoshi Shinichi Short Story

The production staff of the International Emmy Award-winning Hoshi Shinichi’s Short Shorts reunite. A cast of spectacular actors depict the unique world of Shinichi Hoshi.

Hoshi produced 1001 pieces in his lifetime, and they are still being read today. Its magical and exciting fantasy elements of space, robots, and demons, as well as an absurd and ironic look at humans and societies, are beloved by people of all ages.
Surprisingly, despite being written in the 1950s–1980s, many of the pieces provide foresights for the present and future. Now, in 2022, the future that Shinichi Hoshi foresaw is dramatized by a cast of splendid actors who resonate with Hoshi’s works.
The unique visual worlds of the directors of each film are a must-see. Each film has a different director, and their individualities shine through in their production methods.
