A stage greeting with Tomoko Yamaguchi, Etsushi Toyokawa, and director Shunji Iwai will follow the September 26 screening of the Undo 4K remaster at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku. The event marks the double feature of Undo and PiCNiC. Trailers for both films and a comment video from Iwai were also released.
The Undo and PiCNiC 4K remasters screen as a double feature starting September 25, with the greeting set for the 13:10 show the next day. Tickets sell through Ticket Pia's lottery from September 9 to September 13. Standard seats cost 2,400 yen and premium box seats 3,500 yen, with online advance tickets not accepted.
Undo first ran for one week at Cine Switch Ginza in October 1994, drawing long queues despite late-night screenings, and its August 1995 run at Theater Shinjuku set a box office record. PiCNiC followed in June 1996 as the first Iwai collaboration with Chara. In the comment video, Iwai recalls how both projects came to be and says the 4K versions offer a new way to view them.
