The movie "Homura Kagayoe" where Yoshitaka Amano is the character designer. It has been decided that postcards drawn by Amano will be distributed as the second gift for attendees. At the same time, Amano's character design drawings for the movie were also released.
``Flame Kagayohe'', which was released on April 3rd, is a historical drama that centers on Moritaka Ashina, a Sengoku feudal lord who was admired by Oda Nobunaga but lived a short life of 24 years. Why was this rare Sengoku daimyo, who displayed his skill as the 18th head of the Ashina family, which lasted for 400 years starting in the Kamakura period, mainly in the Aizu region of Fukushima Prefecture, forced to end his short life of 24 years? Based on historical facts, this film depicts the life of a man who played with love and was burned by the flames of love in a turbulent time when many men were divided. Keima Horie is the original author and executive producer, and Keita Matsuda is the director. Shota Aoi also participates in the narration.
The postcards that will be distributed from April 17th feature a cutout of Moritaka clutching a sword and looking straight ahead with his eyes, and Yoshishige Satake, the 18th head of the Satake family, draped over him.
Along with the release of the character design drawings, Amano's comments also arrived. When designing, Amano first envisioned the characters' colors, saying, ``The main character, Moritaka Ashina, is a ``light blue'' that represents ephemerality, transparency, and the duality of being a boy and an adult.His ally, Yoshishige Satake, is a ``dark blue'' (midnight blue) that represents maturity and strength.Hikohime, the concubine, is a ``midnight blue'' that represents a strange fate. I used the color red that lights a fire in their hearts.For Moritaka and Yoshishige's armor and sword, Moritaka is inspired by a snow leopard, which is said to be a spiritual animal and the king of the sky, and incorporates elements of Western armor, while Yoshishige's armor is modeled after a caterpillar, so I designed it to give them the strength to move forward.''
