His Motorbike, Her Island Blu-ray captures one of Nobuhiko Obayashi’s most tender and nostalgic films, a wistful monochrome romance steeped in biker culture, youthful longing, and the freedom of the open road. Best known internationally for the surreal horror classic House, Obayashi delivers something entirely different here: a gentle, emotionally resonant love story that drifts between realism and dream.

After a painful breakup, tough-but-vulnerable biker Koh (Riki Takeuchi) leaves the city behind and rides into the countryside on his prized Kawasaki W3 650. Along the way, he meets Miyo (Kiwako Harada), a free-spirited young woman drawn to both Koh and his machine. As the two grow closer, Koh becomes increasingly conflicted — inspired by Miyo’s fearless passion for riding, yet haunted by the possibility that her reckless thrill-seeking may lead to tragedy.

Shot in striking black-and-white and filled with romantic imagery, His Motorbike, Her Island plays like a memory half-remembered: drifting, sentimental, and deeply sincere. Obayashi’s affectionate tribute to youth, motion, and impermanence stands as one of his most emotionally grounded works, and a key entry in the Obayashi–Kadokawa cycle. This North American Blu-ray debut presents the film in high definition with new extras and exclusive packaging.
