Japanese Girls Never Die goes on to tell the story of Haruko (Yu Aoi), an aimless 27 year old who works at an office & still lives at home. Haruko has to deal with daily sexism at work place. Then she goes missing. Aina, a cutesy Japanese girl on adderall, w/blinged out cell phone & a gaggle of flush toys on her car dashboard, starts stenciling Haruko's face from the police missing sign all over the neighborhood walls. The image goes viral and gets tied into the violent crimes perpetrated by the girl gang. In her absence, Haruko becomes a unwitting heroine of a movement. Japanese Girls Never Die is a strong indictment of the society where girls are subjugated and sexualized at an early age. It's a structurally daring, thought provoking work. Aoi Yu, the baby faced star of millennial classics like All About Lily Chou-Chou and Hana and Alice does a great job, carrying the burden of being twenty something female in society where self-worth is hard to come by.
