The short drama "Aoba Family's Table" was first released by "Hokuoh Living Tools Store" in April 2018. To date, four episodes have been released, plus two corporate tie-up episodes. The visuals, drawn with Hokuoh Living Tools Store's distinctive art, and the storyline that resonates with adults have attracted attention, making this a popular series with over 6 million views on YouTube.
A meticulous portrayal of adult life as an extension of youth
The film version of "The Aoba Family Table" features an original story that will be enjoyable not only for fans of the TV series, but also for first-time viewers.
Director Takeshi Matsumoto continues to direct from the TV series. Director Matsumoto's work captures the freshness and conflict of youth, and the film combines the art, cuisine, music, and costumes of "Nordic Living Tools Shop" to portray the earnest lives of adults who are an extension of youth with meticulous detail.
Comment from Director Takeshi Matsumoto
"The Aoba Family Table," which began as a web drama in the spring of 2018, has now been made into a feature film. I am truly thrilled to be able to weave a new story into a film with familiar cast members, including Naomi Nishida. The addition of fascinating new characters greatly expands the world of the Aoba family. It's a summer youth drama that brings together adults and children. The music is also exceptionally good. Be sure to see it in the theater.

Comment from Executive Producer and Manager of "Nordic Living Tools Store," Sato Tomoko
I hope that both adults struggling every day and young people searching for their own identity will think, "I've been waiting for a movie like this forever." The visuals, props, food, costumes, lighting, and more all have many production aspects that make this film a must-see on the big screen. Please enjoy it from the perspective of "a film made by a company that started as a general goods store 14 years ago."
