Original Title: 100% no onna no ko

Directed by: Naoto Yamakawa

Synopsis: A boy (Kumamoto Yoshishige) and a girl (Muroi Shigeru) pass in the street and recognize that the other is 100% them. But are they really destined to be together?

Kitty Cameo: Parts of this inventive short film are told in a series of still photographs, including the boy’s description of a date with the girl in which they end up making love in bed. After the night of passion (represented only by bedsheets moving around in an otherwise unoccupied bed) a tabby and white cat is shown lying on the matress in two photographs.

Final Mewsings: Hell hath no fury like a cat scorned, especially by a pig.
