Background and Trivia |
- In Japan, the education system is divided into junior high schools (中学校 ~ Chugakko), which cover grades seven through nine, and senior high schools (高等学校 ~ Kotogakko) that covers grades ten through twelve and is often abbreviated as 高校 (Koko). The film's title uses a bit of slang, referring to the main trio as being in "High 2" (高２ ~ Ko 2), meaning their second year of senior high school. A more literal translation of the title would therefore be "High 2 Blossoming Trio: A Time of First Love." However, the version used at the top of this listing drops the slang in favor of a phrasing that, while less authentic to the Japanese title, reads more smoothly in English.
- Double billed with Blue Mountains (1975).
- Toho ran a discount coupon campaign that reduced admission by ¥100. The promotion spotlighted The Blossoming High School Sophomore Trio: A Time of First Love (1975) and this film, which debuted three weeks apart. Although these two features were the main focus, the campaign also noted their respective double bills: The Blossoming High School Sophomore Trio: A Time of First Love (1975) screened alongside Blue Mountains (1975), while this film was paired with Greatest Game Ever (1975).
- Toho held a discount coupon campaign that offered ¥100 off admission. The promotion highlighted Conflagration (1975) and this film, which were released three weeks apart. Although these two titles were the focus of the campaign, it also noted that each was shown as part of a double feature: Conflagration (1975) with Greatest Game Ever (1975), and this film with Blue Mountains (1975).
