[ Story ]

Director Nakamura Yoshihiro and novelist (original story) Isaka Kotaro follow The Foreign Duck, the Native Duck, and God with a new collaboration. Singer-songwriter Saito Kazuyoshi served as a music producer, and young character actors fill the cast. The film won two awards including the grand prize at the 10th Neuchâtel International Fantastic Film Festival in Switzerland. In 1975, the punk band Gekirin, led by Shigeki (Ito Atsushi), gear up to record their last song, 'Fish Story.' In 1982, university student Masashi (Hamada Gaku), driving
home from a disastrous dating party, listens to 'Fish Story' on the radio and hears the scream of a woman during an interlude in the song. In 2009, high-school girl Asami (Tabe Mikako) is on a ferry when it is seajacked. And in 2012, only five hours remain before the Earth will be destroyed. In a rundown record shop, the owner (Omori Nao) puts 'Fish Story' on the turntable, muttering "The righteous spostle will save the world." At last, all of these events connect, and a miracle occurs.
