Kiyoshi Kurosawa

- Eyes of the Spider

1998

Shinji Aoyama

- Chinpira / Two Punks

1996

The scene in Kiyoshi Kurosawa's "Eyes of the Spider" (1998), in which Dankan accosts Sho Aokawa, a man who doesn't know/recognise him, on an outdoor bench, and half pettily, half coercively begs Aokawa to work for him, is supposed to be a tacitly tribute to a similar scene between Dankan and Takao Osawa at the end of Shinji Aoyama's film "Two Punks" (1996).

Aoyama used to be a college student and worked as an assistant director to Kurosawa.

Ballad: Namonaki Koi no Uta (2009)

At present day, a boy named Shinichi (Akashi Takei) struggles in life as he is bullied in school and his parents are always arguing at home. He loves reading history as it's his way of escaping reality and often prays at a nearby ancient tree for courage to be strong in life.

One day, he discovers a hidden scroll buried beneath the tree and finds himself transported back in time to Sengoku Jidai, where he met the fearsome Samurai, Matabe (Tsuyoshi Kusanagi) and the fiery princess, Renheme (Yui Aragaki), whom he serves.

Shinichi is surprised to see the princess to be the same person he often dreams of and Matabe is mystified by Shinichi's arrival which saved him from an assassination attempt, believed to be the work of a rival Daimyo, Ohkura (Takao Osawa).

Shinichi later learns that Ohkura wanted to marry Renheme but she refuses as her heart is already with Matabe. Both Matabe and Renheme are torn between their love for each other and their duty to their province, which they have both sworn to protect.

As Shinichi is caught up in the inevitable war, figuring out his purpose in being sent to this timeline, he gets close to both Renheme and Matabe, and the people around them, he learns what it truly means to be courageous, to not run away and face life boldly.

This was a pleasant find, as I have been intrigued by "time travel" shows where the lead travels to the past to escape the present but only to learn about life, like Samurai Sensei, Ashi Girl, Junihitoe wo Kita Akuma, Iine! Hikaru Genji-kun, Edomoiselle and Honnoji Hotel.

It's an uplifting and inspiring film, which also pulls your heartstrings.

Sky High (2002)

My rating: 4/10

This is one of those movies that might have worked as animation - it still wouldn't have been very good, mind, but at least the visual shortcomings may have been a bit less glaring. As it is, it's dull in both plot and production, and basically just another forgettable early 2000s fantasy/action drama.

#ARASHI Newsletter vol.103

#NINO 2023122907:06

💛Good morning, everyone!

Kaikyuu VOL.103 "にのあわせ VOL.11"💛

Thank you all for asking so many questions!(While looking at the questions) Then, let's answer the first question right away.

Q1: "Lately, what's the obsession?"

💛 Lately, in terms of acting, i've been investigating what i can star in that will make people happy and inspire them to watch.

Of course, i don't know if i'll be able to act, but i've been doing that research and i hope to act in something like that a little bit.

Q2: "Can you share some behind-the-scenes footage of 『VIVANT』?"

💛 That's something i've been talking about since the days of 'My Family' (TBS).Although the director wasn't Fukuzawa-san (Katsuo) of "Vivant", the producer was Kazutaka Iida-san (of "Vivant"). Then i asked Iida-san, "What are you going to produce after that?" He said, "Next summer, there will be a drama with Sakai Masato-san and director Fukuzawa. "And, i heard that it will also star Abe Hiroshi-san... 💛 I said to him "Wow! I want to be in it!" "If there's any suitable role, please cast me in it" (laughs). When i was doing this job, i always dreamed of acting in the same production as Yakusho-san Hiroshi-san. Also, unlike in the past, being involved in a work as a non-starring role allows fans to focus more on the work. Of course, it may be worthwhile to be the main actor and to be involved all the time, but when you're not acting this week or last week, it's natural to take the work seriously, and the audience says, "It's not a big deal."And so the audience said, "It's not a big deal that [Ninomiya didn't appear]. I think that people who support me in this way have an additional effect on the "viewing" perspective of the work. I hope that you will enjoy the work as purely as you do, and that's very important.

💛 Dramas like the TV series "ONE DAY 〜聖夜のから騒ぎ～" (Fuji Television) have also demonstrated this kind of decentralization. With social media and other options now available, fewer people seem to be watching 1 hour dramas than before. 15-20 minute videos are also predominant on SNS. Therefore, i think we need to create a format that can automatically attract attention. In other words, if Takao Osawa-san, Miki Nakatani-san, and i are each responsible for 15 minutes, then ultimately viewers will be able to see a 1-hour story. Now is the time when producers also need to change their presentations in this way. Although the show may be over by the time this newsletter is sent out, i'm happy if people enjoy it.

Q3: "What kind of role would you like to try in a movie or drama?"

💛 Personally, i don't have any particular role or work that i want to try. Although i can't disclose the specifics ...... for now, thankfully, next year i'll be so busy that i probably won't be able to do it without 2 Ninomiya (laughs). Therefore, i will continue to be involved in TV and various media next year as well. Or rather, if i don't continue to be involved, the work may not end (laughs). Also next year and the year after that, maybe something interesting can be made. So there hasn't been much change in the way I've been acting so far, so i hope you'll continue to look forward to it.

Q4: "How do you feel about fans?"

💛 The fans may find the current situation disturbing because values are changing every day, and the environment and situation are also changing, and in this case, it's a fact that can't be changed, and we're trying to navigate the unclear situation. Maybe the "airiness" of the environment will get better and we can do more different things, which is not necessarily a bad thing. I'll do my best to reassure the fans who support us and keep up the good work.
