In spring 2025, the film “First Kiss,” which is coloring the screen with love, and the film hotspot “The Solitary Gourmet” are becoming a blessing for the box office of Japanese films.
The film “The Solitary Gourmet” is an adventure movie that captures the unintended adventure of Mr. Goro, a “pro solo diner,” who starts in Paris, France, films on a remote island in Japan, and visits Namhae and Geoje in Korea, before heading back to Tokyo in search of the ultimate broth.
Following this, the film “First Kiss” tells the story of Kanna (Matsutaka Takako), who loses her husband, Kakeru (Matsumura Hokuto), to an accident amid a divorce crisis, and randomly meets him again 15 years later. The film “First Kiss” achieved remarkable box office success, surpassing 10,000 viewers in just 2 days after its release in Korea, 20,000 in 4 days, 30,000 in 6 days, 40,000 in 11 days, and 50,000 in 19 days. Additionally, it has already succeeded in long-term box office performance and resurgence in Japan, demonstrating robust strength by surpassing 2 billion yen in revenue and showing the powerful influence of strong word-of-mouth on box office performance.
Thus, the two Japanese films are revitalizing theaters this spring, bringing new energy to audiences weary of daily life. The films “First Kiss” and “The Solitary Gourmet,” which are coloring the screen with laughter and tears from the Japanese archipelago to South Korea, are currently showing in domestic theaters.
