His wife and husband Mu Satoshi won the Best Actor Award.

I have been working with the director since his first feature film "Fool's Journey"..." Speaking of this, his wife and husband Mu Cong could not hold back the tears that came out of his eyes.

"I was at the peak of my anxiety because I found it hard to juggle childcare and filming... Before that, I had been taking a long break, but while making this film, I suddenly understood that what I experienced on set was a very important time in my life. Saying that, she couldn't help but shed tears, and looked at her husband in the audience and fellow actor Shimoto Yu affectionately.
Yu Shimoto also won this time with "Hegemony Animation! was shortlisted for the Best Supporting Actor Award, but unfortunately lost to Sakura Ando's husband Masataka Wada in the play.
