The 300 Million Yen Affair is one of the most well known unsolved crimes in Japan. The incident took place in the rainy morning of December 10, 1968 when the car that carried 300 million Yen was hijacked by a criminal wearing fake policeman outfit. Even though more than 100 evidences were left behind by the criminals, with 170,000 policemen against 110,000 suspects spending almost a billion yen in the investigation, nobody was arrested and the stolen money was never found. The investigation was officially closed for prescription in 1975.

åˆæ‹ (Hatsukoi) or First Love is the film based on an alleged autobiography of Misuzu Nakahara who claimed that she involved in the 300 Million Yen Affair when she was a high school student. Nobody knows the truth so the story in the film could be considered as fiction until further proof.
