Where it came from
Hula Fulla Dance was produced by Aniplex and released in 2021 as part of the Zutto Ouen Project 2011 + 10..., an initiative designed to highlight the prefectures of Fukushima, Miyagi, and Iwate a decade after the 2011 Great East Japan Earthquake. The film is set in the real-life Spa Resort Hawaiians in Iwaki, Fukushima, and centers on a group of women training to become hula dancers at the venue. By focusing on the resort's legacy as a symbol of regional recovery, the story functions as both a workplace drama and a cultural tribute to the resilience of the local community.
The production was directed by Seiji Mizushima and Shinya Watada, with character designs by Hiroko Yaguchi. The creative team aimed for a bright, uplifting aesthetic that reflects the vibrant costumes and performances of the professional hula troupes at Spa Resort Hawaiians. Upon release, the film was noted for its authentic depiction of the resort’s atmosphere and the camaraderie of the performers, garnering a warm reception for its gentle, character-driven narrative and its contribution to regional tourism promotion.
