Cast Comments

Azumi Okada (STU48):
"I was able to immerse myself in the rich beauty of Shodoshima during the shoot. One of my most memorable moments was witnessing the stunning sunrise over the Seto Inland Sea while filming an early morning scene, as I prepared for college entrance exams. Although I initially struggled with acting while driving, the experience sparked my newfound love for driving. I hope to visit Shodoshima again, this time behind the wheel myself!"

Serika Ozaki (STU48):
"This was my first time visiting Shodoshima, and everyone we met was warm and welcoming. I truly enjoyed my time here. Through the film, I hope people can appreciate the importance of human connection, the beauty of nature, and the essence of Seven-T Auto, as well as the alluring charm of the island. I encourage everyone to experience it for themselves!"

Director Shuhei Kuwahara:
"Shooting in Shodoshima felt like a tranquil escape; it was a place I'd love to spend a day just breathing in the fresh air. I was struck by the contrast of our busy filming schedule against the leisurely pace of life on the island. One detail I particularly cherished was the contrast between how the father refers to himself as ‘Papa’ while the daughter calls him ‘Dad’ — I find that bittersweet and endearing. My sincere gratitude goes out to the remarkable cast, crew, and to Seven-T Auto for this opportunity."

Yuki Shibata, President of Seven-T Auto:
"We believe that the true charm of local areas cannot be encapsulated by tourism alone, as the warmth of daily life carries its own 'temperature.' This film elegantly captures the sun, wind, and character of Shodoshima while conveying the theme of how 'cars are not just purchases, but become a part of the family's journey.' There’s something special about how relationships deepen over time with a car and how it can represent a collection of family memories. I hope 'Your Car' inspires viewers to reflect on their own vehicles as symbols of family time."
