GENRE: Romantic Japanese Fantasy Comedy
STYLE: Ultra-realistic premium Japanese drama, cinematic film quality

IDENTITY LOCK:
The woman @image1 must keep the exact same face, face shape, skin tone, hairstyle, height, body proportions, and wardrobe in every shot. The man @image2 must keep his exact face, hairstyle, and outfit as in the reference. No changes in any frame.

ENVIRONMENT LOCK:
An elegant Edo-era Japanese shrine courtyard with traditional wooden architecture, tiled rooftops, stone lanterns, and a raked gravel garden in the background. A giant ancient plum (ume) tree with dense white and pink blossoms. Its thick main branch extends horizontally above the woman's head. Soft spring daylight.

SHOT BREAKDOWN:

0.0–4.0s | Medium shot
The woman stands beneath the huge horizontal branch. Blossom petals drift in the breeze. She looks up curiously, then raises both hands and shakes the branch. The branch trembles and a shower of petals falls. A lacquered cosmetic box tumbles down through the blossoms and she catches it with both hands. Close-up of her face as she peeks inside. Flat, unimpressed expression. She tosses it casually out of frame.

4.0–7.5s | Medium shot
Her curiosity grows. She shakes the branch harder and petals pour down like rain. A scatter of gold koban coins and a few silk pouches fall. She catches one pouch, raises a single eyebrow, looks bored, and tosses it away.

7.5–10.5s | Slow motion
Determined now, she grips the branch with both hands and shakes with all her strength. The branch shudders, a heavy blossom storm rains down, and the man @image2 suddenly drops from the branch. She gasps, spreads her arms, and catches him just before he hits the ground. Petals swirl around them.

10.5–13.0s | Close-up, 50mm
She looks at his face. Her eyes sparkle and a wide, delighted smile appears. He gives a charming, slightly embarrassed smile and looks back at her.

13.0–15.0s | Medium-wide shot
They turn to the camera together and make small heart shapes with their hands, laughing happily. They turn to each other, laugh, and walk out of frame side by side while petals keep falling behind them. Fade out on the falling blossoms.

EMOTION ARC:
Curious → Bored → More curious → Surprised → Smitten → Happy.

SOUND:
Soft spring breeze, rustling blossoms, creaking wood, light thud of the box, jingle of coins, warm playful Japanese rom-com music (koto, light shamisen, soft piano), cheerful laughter, fading footsteps.
