On December 15, 2021, Makoto Shinkai held a production conference at the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, where Makoto Shinkai, the original, script and director, was present at the production conference.
Set in ruins throughout Japan, this work depicts the liberation and growth of the teenage girl Suzuya (すずめ), who closed the "door" that became the source of the disaster. The protagonist is a 17-year-old girl, Suzuya, who lives in the quiet town of Kyushu and finds an old door in the ruins of the mountains. Meanwhile, in the ruins across Japan, disaster descended from the opposite side of the gate to this side of the gate. And the bell buds are guided everywhere through open doors to close these incredible sources of disaster.
At the press conference, Makoto Shinkai listed the idea of "making a work that can be a reason to go to a movie theater." The charm of cinema "human beings have a special ability to let us play places" and is being "for example emotionally moved into things, stories are invested in." It's okay to relax while watching a movie at home, but it's actually concentrated on a large screen in the darkness of a movie theater, more intensely. Extract this kind of painting that can be the same as the sound I want to make." As a point of new challenge enumerated "action movies". "It's definitely a little different from the active works of action stars that everyone remembers." It's a work full of a lot of unexpected movements. It's hard to make while thinking about it", revealing the hard work of production.
