HIRAI Kokoro / FUJII Kei(FUJIIGUMI)
shindig kamen (Wiz Kid Hero). An old man flies in the sky like a hero in the Showa Era. He is “shindou kamen,” an old hero protecting adults. His trick is reminding adults he meets of their days when they were wiz kids. However, four adults in the story are only reminded of innocuous proud moments in their childhood. Still, each one of them traces a path to overcome their difficulty in their memories.
