- Please tell us your impressions of the work.

"TOKYO! Zani's a view of the brochure "

What I was most sympathy, "interior design" of Michel Gondry Director. Although Tokyo freshly young men and women begins with setting that sponger in a narrow room with a friend, I'm sure coach is depicted in well-Will was studied, life and realism in the room of a state and youth psychology is very realistic about Tokyo I felt that. College, we have a friend who moved to Tokyo from the countryside, it was a very living, such as the young people of character. The Tokyo residents, as well, but it should often be local people from the characters, to the Tokyo the people, everyone would be reflected in the special as "Tokyo of the people". Such feelings will find to me I .... This work has captured most of my mind, there is also that there was very often a scene that overlaps with the work called "African shock" of the video artist that I love Chris Cunningham. In this video work, and Africa who were skinny on skinny is walking wander through the New York crowd, hit the New Yorkers who come and go busy, go collapsed limbs like a pottery. Dismayed to African, but men of African New Yorkers I reach out, because there is no hand, after all, it would leave to not do anything. While the woman who is one of the movie protagonist is wander the streets of Tokyo, some becomes the tree of the body - the phrase is, my visual also emotionally to be the video works in I resonate with.

- Other works How did you visit.

Watching "shaking Tokyo" of Bong Joon Ho director, and "Do not I'm the coach take a piece of very delicate touch", I felt again. One of the masterpiece of the director, "The Host" is in spite of the movie rampage is a monster, such as parent-child sad farewell, fine sentiment had been drawn to the realistic. In this work, by superimposing the earthquake, the point that is delicate representation of the shaking of the withdrawal of the middle-aged man of the heart, I liked very much. Although I thought that may be the point that does not use too many words include, but personally, the end of the scene I thought with a little explanatory kana .... Also immediately from the beginning, such as camera work and middle-aged men and Lolita Chick theme depicting the love of a girl, I felt as a "very Do Asian-ish". Not inform how supervision of the work, first it might be interesting to how to show that to imagine the audience.

- "Meld" is How was.

First, meld of Phantom was I think whether they represent the Japanese. Although the attack to show off their power for the outside, ... the figure that is alive to eat the lonely flowers alone and go home. But, this work might split is interpreted by the perspective. However, the point that stores a grenade on its underside have listed the national flag of the Empire of Japan in the meld of the house, "the image to it the old Japanese army?" Maybe "Why in this scene?" If, now very concerned about. The point is, to be honest, I was suffering to understand. Then Personally, to the scene to blow the Shibuya, rather than scramble crossing in Shibuya symbolic, of the per bowline image of the west entrance side had been chosen, and at the same time wonder and "what?", So much foreign I am glad that the spot was hit in a location that is not known to the people. Even though, I though I would have been blown up (laughs).

- If you look at what point of view, what do you think the more enjoyable.

Any of the work as well, but has been drawn in a little difficult touch in the so-called art-house movies (Art-based movie), the message I think that easily transmitted. Feel free to, rather than, why not carrying a foot to the cinema a little stance. While watching carefully, foreigners more than you're thinking that Japanese people think comes through is that there is interest in Tokyo.
