Hachigatsu no Koe o Hakobu Otoko (The Man Who Carries the Voices of August) Transitions to the Big Screen!

Award-winning drama Hachigatsu no Koe o Hakobu Otoko, with music by Yasuaki Shimizu, makes its theatrical debut at TOHO Cinemas nationwide starting Friday, August 21st!

 

This quietly told, yet profoundly moving film follows the real-life mission of journalist Akihiko Ito to preserve the voices of over 1,000 atomic bomb survivors.

 

After winning multiple prestigious awards as an NHK broadcast marking the 80th anniversary of the end of WWII, the production has been reimagined as a feature film—enriched by exclusive, unreleased scenes that add new depth to the story.

 

Don’t miss the chance to hear Shimizu’s subtly nuanced soundtrack in the immersive environment of a movie theater!
