Trivia

  • According to director Hiroto Yokokawa, the "35" in the film's title holds several meanings: 2023 is Megumi Odaka's 35th year as an actress, the 35th year since the beginning of the Heisei period, and the year Yokokawa turned 35 years old.[17]
  • The official English-language site for Hoshi 35 plagiarizes its opening paragraph and credits list from an earlier revision of this page.[18][19]
