Yuhei Yamada (aka Kun-san), based in Sapporo, continues his filming activities while traveling to various locations such as Nagano Prefecture and Colorado in the United States.
Two years after his previous work, "Serious Shit," his long-awaited full street part is finally released. It's called "Komainu"
First of all, the teaser has been released, so please take a look here
Anyone who's been captivated by action sports, whether it's freestyle skiing, snowboarding, skateboarding, or BMX, has probably fantasized about things like, "If only I could jump over that..." or "If only I could scrape against that railing at the station or school..."
Yuhei Yamada is that boy who grew up into an adult, and "Komainu" is a film that visualizes his imagination.
He is a freestyle ski enthusiast and an experienced park digger. Utilizing the equipment construction techniques he has honed at famous snow parks in Japan, he transforms urban areas into snow parks. For Yamada, who has skied at authentic American parks, it was inevitable that he would move to the streets to further test his passion and skills
The film, which was shot over a two-year period, is packed with shots of such high quality that it's hard to believe they're individual parts. The footage makes you realize how freely two skis can be used, and how they can become a tool that can be enjoyed anywhere. In addition to the full four-minute part, a rough cut without background music is also scheduled to be released, in order to make the most of the real sounds from the location
*The main film is scheduled to be released in early November on the ICELANTIC JAPAN WEBSITE / YouTube / Instagram TV
