Story

Young Kato and his significant other Nao struggle to make “Miracle Pears.” Nao has a dark past. All of her fiancés have died in traffic accidents. Nao tells Kato that by dating her, he too will die in a car accident. Kato boasts that he can alter his fate, all while a truck approaches to savagely mow him down. Will Kato really be able to finish growing the miracle pears? Can he avoid being hit by the truck? It’s a darkly humorous and suspenseful story. The role of the truck driver coming to seal Kato’s fate is played by Warai Tetsuo.

Notes

Located roughly in the center of Tottori Prefecture, the 16,000 person town of Yurihama was established on October 1st, 2004, merging the towns of Hawai, Togo, and the village of Tomari. The area is famous for the Hawai and Togo Onsen Hot Springs on the shores of Lake Togo. It is also known as the leading producer of Japanese 20th Century Pears, and the birthplace of "ground golf".
In April of 2017, Yurihama collaborated with JA Torrori Chuo and Yoshimoto Creative Agency to start the “Entertainers Living Off Farming in Yurihama,” project. Kato Apuri lives in Yurihama and provides instruction to Warai Tetsuo. The program showcases the appeals of the town, with the comedians participating in events, developing souvenirs, selling and promoting products, and cultivating pears over the course of the year.
