[NEW PHOTOS] TENMEI KANOH FACEBOOK - DEC 20
1967 movie Yokubou - Blowup, by Michelangelo Antonioni is the story of a young photographer set in London but, at that time I was already running as a freelance photographer in Tokyo and saw a lot interesting english photographer. Hamano Yasuhiro, currently working on Karanukan movie, asked advices about studio shooting and the proper movements of a photographer since the protagonist of the movie has somewhat the image of a young and mischevious Kanou Tenmei. The leading role will be played by GACKT. I'm looking forward to see his unique personality develop.
By the way, the theme song of the movie is sung by the talented singer Marlene.
Kato Tokiko's song in Japanese.. I heard Marlene sing in japanese and is really overwhelming, and most of average japanese singer cannot compete with it. If you have the chance it would be good if you could give it a try, listen to it!!

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.

Movie 「Karanukan」 Director's Diary
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.

Movie 「Karanukan」 Director's Diary
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.

Went for an actress interview that has not been decided at the end for the movie Karanukan. Finally the dance of the falling leaves have begun. The Tokyo imagery, which will contrast Okinawa's, mainly features the autumn scenery and is ongoing.

Movie Karanukan Director's Diary
The shoot for the Tokyo scenes have finally begun.
With the office set up in Aoyama, the president of an advertising agency specialising in the leading brands overseas,
Kimura Yuichi-san (big bro Kim) came to Tokyo's Yoshimoto for a fitting session. He performed surrounded by Italian furniture, with a Milan dandy businessman-styled suit and jacket. It fits well! Look forward to it.
As I was born in Kyoto, having a conversation in Kyoto dialect was enjoyable. Actually, it would seem that we will be appearing on "Heisei Nihon no Yofuke" on TV.
