About This Movie

Fu · Shi · Gi · na BABY is a curious blend of absurdity and charm. The premise is pretty wild—a roller skating boy band, Hikaru GENJI, who suddenly find themselves dealing with a baby in their dorm. It’s not just about the antics; there’s an odd sort of warmth and camaraderie that builds among these young performers. The pacing is on the slower side, giving it a dreamlike quality, and the practical effects feel refreshingly genuine in their awkwardness. The performances are earnest, capturing that youthful spirit of the late '80s. It’s a unique artifact of its time, showcasing a pop culture moment that’s both bizarre and oddly endearing.

Fu · Shi · Gi · na BABY has seen limited releases over the years, often hard to find in original formats, making it an intriguing piece for collectors. The VHS versions seem to be the most common, but good luck finding a pristine copy. Interest in this film has piqued due to its unique blend of pop culture and oddball storytelling, appealing to those who appreciate the quirks of late '80s Japanese cinema.
