Synopsis

Though her high school days are long behind her, Tamami Sakurai is still just as awkward and clumsy as ever. At night, she is often seen at a local Tokyo bar, which has become a safe haven from her stressful job. After a few too many drinks, Tamami begins to feel as if she is invincible, but the hangover afterward begs to differ.

One such night ends on a disparate note when an intoxicated Tamami hears some familiar chords playing on the record player, bringing tears to her eyes as she recalls bygone years. The melody reminds her of a shy pianist named Rin Kajitani—a boy who was once the closest friend she ever had.

This is one of those "Niche and heavily underrated anime film for 2022".

I have watched this anime movie last year when it was still not yet available via MAL. It premiered via Amazon Prime.
This anime is the inspired adaptation/based off a Japanese Drama with the same name and have launched in the same year. Certainly this had caught me off guard on how good the story and the presentation. The good thing about the film? it has that happy ending.

The anime is about a woman (Tamami) who is struggling in her adult life. While drinking in a bar she then hears a rock song ...

This was a really nice watch overall, the somewhat melancholic story is good with nice to look at - if fairly generic - animation. Naoko Yamada is back to a very familiar 'modern / high school with socially awkward characters' with a relatively straightforward story and a minimal set of characters - which is where I believe her strengths as a director lie, as results have been a lot more mixed

Very conventional and takes no risks, although as I believe it's based on an existing story, scope to do so is probably limited in this regard. Avoids trying to juggle complex narratives, and an over-reliance ...

Spoiler

Minor spoilers ahead.

Modern Love Tokyo tells the story of a 32 yo office clerk that lives frustrated with her job and the lack of meaning in her life. She drowns her sorrows in alcohol and doesn't really know herself. One night after finishing her work day, she seats at her usual bar when a specific song comes on the record player and she is immediately transported to her high school days.
This is the story of the protagonist's self (re)discovery, as she remembers her past love and her dreams of becoming an artist and doing something meaningful with her life.

Although this short is only 30 minutes ...
