Trivia, insights & behind the scenes

Trivia

Real Japanese police bands exist and perform at ceremonies; the film consulted actual officers who'd faced similar 'disciplinary transfers.'

Cultural

The voice phishing scheme targets Japan's aging population—elderly financial exploitation has become epidemic, making Tsukasa's rage uncomfortably justified even when his methods aren't.
