We Are Aliens

FromUGANA Kenichi

Year2024

Duration93min.

LanguageJapanese

The arrival of an alien on the back stairs of an office or store, a small light green and turquoise fuzzy-headed creature that suddenly sits on the banister - we see it has been beamed there! Seiya is spending his break there. He smokes and calls people he chooses at random from his address book to tell them: “It's me, thanks!” The alien listens and watches - speaks fluent Japanese, by the way - and then asks obvious, yet extremely interesting questions. It even gives us a cigarette. As we subsequently learn, however, it has come to wipe out humanity because it is damaging the planet and the universe as a whole. In a loose series of short episodes, aliens after aliens are beamed to Earth because, after a short time on Earth, everyone loses faith that it really is a good idea to wipe out humanity. The grotesque ideas and wild stagings, including a rap battle with an alien, are unbelievable. Ugana Kenichi's gift for the 20th birthday of the legendary NYLON JAPAN magazine. Thank you, thank you, thank you!
