The movie "Looking for Antonio Inoki" will be released on Blu-ray as early as March 27th!
A limited edition version that comes with a T-shirt will also be released! !
Produced as a project commemorating the 50th anniversary of the founding of NEW JAPAN PRO-WRESTLING, Makoto Antonio Inoki is one of Japan's leading professional wrestlers, a businessman, and a politician who has left many legendary stories and has always continued to challenge himself without being bound by common sense. A documentary film that takes a close look at the character.
Pro wrestlers such as Kazuchika Okada, Hiroshi Tanahashi, and Yoshiaki Fujiwara, who were greatly influenced by Antonio Inoki, as well as photographers Etsuo Hara, Teppei Arita, Hakuzan Kanda, and Ken Yasuda, among others. From three elements: a documentary part in which celebrities appear and trace their great footsteps, a short drama part depicting the life of a nameless ordinary man who received power from Inoki, and valuable archives and stills from before his death. We will unravel what kind of person Antonio Inoki was to us.
Fukuyama Masaharu is in charge of the theme song and narration. His new production of Antonio Inoki's entrance theme song "Flame Fighter" also became a hot topic.
■The limited edition Blu-ray includes a postcard to apply for a gift campaign where you can win an "Inoki Canvas Panel"!
To commemorate the release of the Blu-ray, we have created a special replica version of the life-size panel of Antonio Inoki, which was once again put up at the Noge Dojo by Tanahashi in the movie, and has been reduced to 333mm x 190mm from side to side. A present will be given to 60 people by lottery! It's a limited item that you can't get anywhere else, so you can enjoy the feel of a dojo even at home, and it's downsized to make it easier to display in your room so that Mr. Inoki can watch over you. Don't miss out on this opportunity, as the gift application postcard will be included in the limited edition product.
■The limited production edition (Blu-ray + Special T-Shirt) includes a Blu-ray disc as well as a special original Inoki T-shirt that cannot be obtained anywhere else and a photo booklet containing treasured photos!
The T-shirt features a bold design on the front of Antonio Inoki's face by photographer Etsuo Hara, who was also featured in the theater poster, and the silver color represents the dark side of the profile of a man who lived a life full of ups and downs and always continued to take on challenges. The result is a piece with an impact that is expressed in tone. I would like the generation that was inspired by Inoki's famous words and inspired by his way of life to wear this book. The only size available is XL, but people of all genders and generations can enjoy wearing it in layers or oversized. A luxurious photo booklet containing Inoki's treasured photos will also be included.
