The film "NEW GROUP," starring Anna Yamada and Yuzu Aoki, is now showing nationwide. A clip of a hallway battle scene, where the characters counter a group gymnastics attack with their own group gymnastics, has been released on YouTube. The sci-fi psycho entertainment film is directed by Yuta Shimotsu.
The film "NEW GROUP" is now in theaters, and a new clip from the movie has appeared on YouTube. The footage shows the group gymnastics collective advancing on the characters Ai and Yu while chanting "Ya, Ya" in unison. Ai, played by Anna Yamada, is terrified. Yu, played by Yuzu Aoki, suggests they fight back with group gymnastics of their own. He hoists Ai onto his shoulders and shouts "Ya!" but the coordinated group does not stop. The clip is a direct demonstration of the film's core conflict: a shy girl with family problems and a transfer student who cannot adapt to Japan's conformity-focused schools versus a principal who leads a collective strange phenomenon that engulfs the region.
