Dreamy Planet

Dreamy Planet is a kinetic story about Haruka and Shiina, childhood friends who reunite nearly five years after Haruka’s breakdown. The story follows them on an impromptu trip to Dreamy Planet, an abandoned theme park on the outskirts of Nara, as they revisit old memories and consider whether their friendship can be repaired. Haruka must find the courage to tell Shiina how she really feels.

Haruka and Shiina

Haruka, worn down by her demanding job as a nurse, left her old life and moved back in with her parents. Ashamed of feeling like a failure, she avoided Shiina and withdrew into depression. At Shiina’s suggestion, they return to a place they loved in their youth. Haruka is engaged to a man throughout the story, an important plot point that is referenced several times.

Dreamy Planet

Once a popular attraction, the park closed several years ago after attendance dwindled. Its spinning teacups, roller coasters and carousel have been left to rust. As Haruka and Shiina make their way through the decaying park, memories from their past return. The park may be beyond repair, but their relationship may still be saved.
