For those of you who haven’t seen this movie, it is about the story between a high-school student named Fangao and a girl named Yangcai.

Fangao runs away from his remote island home to Tokyo. He quickly runs out of money and starts to look for a job. Later he finally finds work as a writer for a mysterious occult magazine. Then one day, he meets Yangcai at a McDonald's, who possesses a strange and wonderful ability—the power to stop the rain, at least temporarily.

A trolley is running down a track and is out control. If it continues on its course, it will run over five people who have been tied to the tracks. You have the chance to divert it onto another track simply by pulling a lever. If you do this, though, the tram will kill a man who happens to be standing on this other track. What should you do?

The situation is the same as before: a runaway trolley threatens to kill five people. A very heavy man is sitting on a wall on a bridge spanning the track. You can stop the train by pushing him off the bridge onto the track in front of the train. He will die, but the five will be saved.

There’s a few things that inspired us. I think the biggest thing was climate change. Climate change really became a huge part of our lives and we see it here. Because every summer in Japan, we always have a lot of rain and water-related disasters because of it. So, every year they’re talking about climate change and how we have to do something about it. But we also know that it’s not something that we could turn back in a few years.

So it has happened. And then how do we live in this crazy world that we have created? And how do especially the young people live in this crazy world? That’s what I started thinking about when I started working on Weathering With You.
