Alien squids and giant robots invade the trailer for “It’s on Me” (Watashi Dasuwa)

With Yoshimitsu Morita's sleepy drama "It's on Me" (Watashi Dasuwa) set to premiere at the Tokyo International Film Festival tomorrow (10/21), a new edit of the film's trailer has been added to its YouTube channel. This is no ordinary trailer update, however. The film footage is all identical to the original trailer, except for the appearance of alien squids, space ships, and giant robots.

The movie stars Koyuki as a woman named Maya who returns to her hometown after amassing a personal fortune to dole out cash to her old school friends in the hopes that it will help them pursue their own dreams. It happened to be filmed in Hakodate, Hokkaido, a town which recently produced a series of unique tourism videos in which alien cephalopods from the planet Ikaaru invade Hakodate as revenge for their citizens eating too many of their brethren squid.

Here's the new version of the trailer. The new additions turn it into a "no reaction drama" of sorts, which is pretty awesome:

Here's the first of the Hakodate tourism videos in which the aliens take control of a super-sized version of Hakodate’s tourism mascot in the interest of mass destruction:
