Little Subculture Wars: The Village Vanguard Strikes Back (2020)

Set in the real-life bookstore Village Vanguard—a unique shop that sells not only books but also a wide variety of items like miscellaneous goods, CDs, and food—this theatrical film continues the story from the late-night TV drama aired on Me~tele. The story follows Keizo Sugishita, a self-proclaimed "empty" university student, and his quirky part-time job crew as they experience youthful days full of chaos and charm at the eclectic store. One year after starting his job at Village Vanguard, Sugishita begins to sense that something essential is missing from everyday life. Shockingly, he realizes that "subculture" itself has vanished from the world. The once-vibrant employees and customers have lost their spark, and society has become a place of strict surveillance and control. To reclaim those absurd yet joyful days—and culture itself—Sugishita embarks on an unimaginable battle. (Source: Japanese = Eiga.com || Translation = kisskh) Edit Translation
