Karanukan Director’s Diary
The physical abilities were drawn up and used up to the limit.
The slim and lithe actress who just turned 19 exhausted her physical abilities to the limit.
I stood at the extreme site together with the film, sound, lights, costumes, and production staff.
The heat, water, and forest has followed us all the time.
Despite that, we are united at the site everyday, overflowing with energy, summoning up each of our own abilities and caliber.
I am blessed to be surrounded by such colleagues.
There are still a few days left in Okinawa’s nature, agriculture, and culture where we have to film the last climax while being mixed in water and mud. It will be the final phase with Kato Tokiko san, Yui Masayuki san, and Chen Chao from China.
In 3 days, our time of filming in Okinawa, the main setting for this movie, will end.
In autumn, the stage will move to Aoyama in Shinjuku, to show the world’s top lifestyle and design, in addition to the Tokyo chapter, I’ll return to Okinawa for a few days to film its scenery left behind.
Thank you everyone.
Let’s look forward to the completion of this major work.
Also, thank you the sun that has been shining brilliantly everyday.
Thank you to the typhoon that deviated away.

Ohh〜 a blubbering cicada♪
I wrote the lyrics for the theme song of Karanukan, Ai ni Nare.
Kato Tokiko wrote the melody, Marlene sings it.
The picture of the cicada that appears in the line was something I caught when I went on a stroll. It became a picture with a story as I took photographed it on my pillow.
It’s amazing voice is making a lot of calls.

Director’s Diary
Today was GACKT’s last scene, a large-scale shoot, and a sublime shoot in the brackish water of the river pulled by the tide. Matched by the sunset and even the drone. Shaun Kazama’s painful role in the scene of bringing the heroine to the girlfriend on motorbike, and GACKT’s last scene were respectively filmed by drone.
