Movie 「Karanukan」 Director’s Diary December 9, 2016
Things were cranked up early in the morning, or you could say it was late at night.
The key she passed me is shaking.
Issou Maki-san, who acts as Oyama Hikaru, the main character’s lover in Tokyo gave us a wonderful and deep performance. She took on the role in a short time, cranked up.
She really performed the complex feelings, unsettled heart, and the end of an adult’s love outstandingly.
Thank you. We’ve hit many walls in the selection of GACKT’s last partner, and I’m sincerely grateful that I was able to meet her.

A cosmopolitan, Oyama Hikaru (GACKT) and Terry Cohen, who serves at Antonio and has a large farm of natural foods in the Italian Piedmont region.
Thank you for all the sublime performances yesterday.
GACKT-san will definitely make a masterpiece. Cohen-san’s passion for slow food, the farm in Piedmont, and Okinawa’s green business ties together.

GACKT, who acts as a top-class photographer
receives tips on photo composition from top-class cameraman Kanoh Tenmei
Director Hamano Yasuhiro strongly suggests acting pointers
GACKT, too, persists. Tenmei also cuts in… The discussion on film and drama deepens.
An amazing filming scene was shot.

Kimura Yuuichi-san, nicknamed Kimunii, acts as the president of a small and medium advertising agency, who is amazed at the transformation of photographer Hikaru, played by GACKT, after his time in Okinawa.
He successfully portrayed the difficulties faced by agency managers who specialise in international brands.
Thank you.

I fell asleep!
Without saying OK or “cut!” to the last shot, while dreaming of myself fighting a bonefish under a rainbow,
it appears that I could fall asleep, snoring loudly, next to GACKT, without noticing at all.
After spending a long time thinking, consulting GACKT, location hunting, and I checked and decided everything with my own eyes and feet. Now is the time when we finish all filming.
I was reminded of Andy Warhol’s film which consisted of nothing but a man sleeping.
My apologies! Thank you everyone, for supporting me thus far…
Truly! Thank you

Movie Karanukan’s filming has ended, when I look up in the night sky, I see the blue midnight sky, white clouds.
The Aoyama landmark that I produced, AO, is lit up by Christmas versio LED.
All the shots are clear. Thank you gods of Nirai-Kanai.
