The closing film "Sacred Youth" of the 29th Tokyo International Film Festival was premiered in Tokyo, with director Yoshitaka Mori and starring Kenichi Matsuyama and Masada Higashiide. Kenichi Matsuyama scared the audience on stage one by one, not only with the XXL number in the film, but also felt thinner than the L number at the opening ceremony, and returned to the M number in "Death Note" just around the corner.

"Sacred Youth" is based on the biography of the Japanese shogi freak Murayama, who died young. At first glance, this should sound like a story about the shogi industry, but as the closing film of the Tokyo Film Festival, it seems to be not international enough. In this regard, at the beginning, the lead actor Higashi Izumi Masada also had this worry, and at that time, he also seemed to understand shogi. It was later learned that neither the novel nor the film focused on the rules of shogi, but rather the story of the disease-ridden Murayama Seiji, who fought against death in the last few months of his life in order to duel with the genius of his contemporaries, and is a story about how human beings view life and death and willpower. Therefore, all three believe that this is a movie that the whole world can understand.

In order to play these two very familiar chess masters, both actors have paid a lot. In reality, Murayama Is plagued by diseases and often needs to play hormones, because Ofi is obese, so Matsuyama Kenichi gained about 20 pounds, and his double chin was very obvious. In order to imitate Habu Zenji, Higashiide Masada watched a number of videotapes of the game, wrote down the small actions of Habu Zenji when he was thinking about the chess game, and also got the glasses that he had brought with him during the holy war with Murayama. Comparing the real-life photos of these two chess players, Kenichi Matsuyama and Masadai Higashiide can be described as a god restoration.

At the press conference, three Japanese Olympic athletes came to the scene and sent flowers to the three.
