Hanado Junji (花堂　純次）

<Biography> Born in Kagoshima Prefecture, Kyushu, and raised in Miyazaki until the age of 18. When I was in high school, I gave up my career as a professional classical guitarist and graduated from the Department of Film, Faculty of Arts, Nihon University. I worked as a freelance assistant director while I was in college, and entered the TV drama industry at the age of 25. After that, I experienced the chief AD of a station drama of TBS, a major Japanese TV station, for several years, and made my first directorial debut as a director of another TV station's serial drama series at the age of 29. Since then, I have continued to make hit works as a director in serial drama series. I directed my first film on screen as a film director when I was in my 40s, and since then I have created several films. In many films, I also work on scripts at the same time. I'm especially good at works based on real subjects. In "ALLURE", in addition to editing, we are also in charge of color grading.
