南紀州でサーフィン、主題歌は松本隆筒美京平「渚のドルフィン」つたないボーカル富田靖子でこのライトなタイトルなのに、出てるヤングも大人も寂しげでイメージ全然違う。まだ顔はあどけないけどイイ身体してきた鶴見慎吾、中之島でコンパニオンする母は宮下順子。高校行ってない富田靖子の親父はつたや食堂田中邦衛、大阪の母は白川和子。憎たらしいレオナルド熊社長に優しい鈴木ヒロミツ、新井くん働いてるし、キャベツ千切り黒部ェも。高校教師はスガカンだし漁師は井上昭文だし、みるとこ多すぎて大変だけど、ずっと寂しくてみんな境遇ちがうけど生活に一生懸命で、なんでこのタイトル…って感じだけどよかったス。ちんちくりんで内股の富田靖子もよかった。あと、主題歌以外の音楽がやたらと大人っぽくて気になる。榊原光裕📝

when you watch footage of yasuko tomita performing live it's quite evident she's not the best singer (there's a youtube video of a tv show performance where her voice cracks kind of awkwardly while singing, sadly i fail to remember which one that was) but still, to my sensitivities, so many of her songs are such joyous popping tunes, including 渚のドルフィン which serves as the theme for this early movie of hers (following her debut aiko 16 sai). maybe it wouldn't be profitable but i will forever hold the responsible distributors in brightly burning scorn for not making gems like these more easily accessible to watch. the tape sure is one of my pricier acquisitions. its novelty as a somewhat rare showa idol flick that maybe a total of two hands full of people care about aside, the most interesting thing about it might be getting to hear yasuko's soft & sweetly spoken kansaiben. it's a fairly simple seaside youth film set in shingu that all but breezes by and left me wondering what precisely had happened at all. the romance isn't given much room to blossom for the audience, and besides that there seem to be a few ideas for something you could consider thematic elements none of which it really establishes or follows through on. i'm probably the last person to care about that, though, and felt fully content with the scenic shots of the sea while 渚のドルフィン plays over and over. my favourite moment however is when a downhearted yasuko tomita strolls through the streets of osaka; here's a video in which some of the locations are tracked down: youtu.be/XIQ3RO6G74w
