Message from Kenjiro Tsuda

I've always loved space fantasies and astronaut-themed movies. I've always been interested in space, so I was honored to be able to participate in this project. I've had contact with the Enoshima Aquarium for some time, but I thought this was an interesting collaboration between "space" and an "aquarium" that had never been done before. I think that both people who are interested in space and those who haven't had much contact with it until now will be able to see some interesting exhibits, so I hope that this will spark an interest in space.
