So That’s Where the Giant Alien Squid Went!

The trailer for Watchm… er, Watashi Desu wa, the latest film from director Morita Yoshimitsu, has premiered. The film is a gentle drama about a young woman moving home from Tokyo to rural Hakodate, Hokkaido. Hakodate happens to be one of Japan’s major producer/exporters of squid, so the Hakodate Tourism Board decided to playfully alter the Watashi Desu wa trailer by adding in invading alien squid, spaceships, and giant robots. The edited trailer is the latest video clip in the Hakodate Tourism Board’s Project Ika-R promotional effort to make invading alien squid a regional mascot.

The sci-fi elements in this trailer do not appear in the actual movie. They’ve been edited into the trailer as a joke.

The movie looks much more fun with the squid than without.
