Nomikai aka drinking parties is a phenomenon particular to Japanese culture, mostly taking place in various work fields, from schools to nightclubs, with the employees usually expected to participate to some extent, as it is considered a social aspect of work, although it is not expressly required. Essentially, the nomikai, along the Sns, have replaced a large part of the “normal” social interactions in the country, as “spending superficial time with others cultivates a momentary feeling of inclusion”, as per Riki Ohkanda, the director of “Random Call” words. In a work that started as a novel in 2012, before eventually becoming a script in 2016 and a full movie of just $700 Usd budget by 2022, Ohkanda focuses on this aspect of the local society, and conjunctively, to the human need for social interaction.
