I attended the completion report press conference for the movie "After the Flowers" today!
Half a year since filming, about one minute into the movie preview in the assembly hall, I got into an excited mood. "Aah, it's finally starting."
I met Kōmoto Masahiro-san, Miyao Shuntarō-san, Ichikawa Kamejirō-san, Kunimura Jun-san,
Emoto Akira-san, and director Nakanishi Kenji-san, who were present at today's conference, again after half a year, and we passed an enjoyable hour having a friendly chat. It put me in a really bright mood!
I've kept in contact with Kōmoto-san in particular,
he invited me to the theatre for instance, and so him being a good friend, (though with our schedules never matching we couldn't see each other...) I was happy that we could meet!
Matching the movie's world we all went on the platform dressed in kimono at today's conference.
I got to wear an antique kimono, autumn-like with an impression of composure. |

During the conference there was also an "Express 'After the Flowers' in a single kanji" segment,
in which the actors each drew their character on a sheet of paper. I drew the character for beauty, 美!
After watching the first issue,
the beauty of the story, the beauty of the music, and the beauty of the landscape in the scenes filmed in Yamagata and Shōnai, this work's stage, made me think, "This movie contains beauty in various forms, doesn't it?", so I drew that impression in this one character. Though it was a little difficult to use a writing brush after a long time (笑), it was a fun conference.
The premiere on March 13 of next year is still a ways away,
but it's a movie I truly want to bring to you soon. Please look forward to it! |
