The story of Tatami Time Machine Blues is set during a sweltering midsummer day when Ozu, the protagonist’s “terrible friend,” accidentally drowns the only remote control for the air conditioning unit in their apartment. While they discuss their predicament with Akashi, the protagonist’s raven-haired love interest, a sloppily-dressed time-traveling student arrives from 25 years in the future, prompting the protagonist to borrow his time machine in an effort to snatch the remote control from the past before it breaks.
Tatami Time Machine Blues will be streamed on DIsney+ around the world at a currently unannounced date, though will reportedly be before the theatrical release in Japan on September 30.
