Nogizaka Cinemas: STORY of 46(2019)

Nogizaka Cinemas: STORY of 46 is a ten-episode anthology series featuring ten members of the idol group Nogizaka46, including Mai Shiraishi and Asuka Saito. Each episode is helmed by a different acclaimed director—a music video specialist, a Cannes Grand Prix–winning commercial director, and award-winning international film directors. The members tackle diverse genres spanning action, science fiction, romance, comedy, fantasy, and intimate human drama. The series showcases Nogizaka46 in unexpected roles across wildly different storytelling styles, blending idol culture with cinematic ambition. Each installment stands alone while collectively demonstrating the range and versatility of the group's performers in dramatic contexts far removed from their usual musical output.
