YASUHIRO HAMANO FACEBOOK Jul 22nd - 2nd update

Today's my birthday, I've received messages from a lot of people. Thank you.
Lead actor GACKT, heroine Kimura Suzuka, and our wonderful friends did a surprise birthday celebration during lunchtime.
"Have I turned 75~? That's right. I'm already 75. It's about time to become a good adult~"
They gave me a wonderful gift with the message.
We're left with about a week of the busy daily filming of the major scenes in Okinawa.
Here, hold out a little more and hang in there~ the voices of my friends carry my burden with me, without losing to the heat, without losing to your body giving out, ONE STEP ONE STEP ONE STEP
just turn into love~
From the theme song of Karanukan

I want to live as something to be anticipated.
Yesterday evening, I only had time to take this one photo of the sunset.
Today, I turn 75.
I am thankful for the 50 cast and staff, and the hotel employees who have been with me for my movie.
I hope to live without ever giving up, and always moving forward fro Okinawa, for Japan, for the Asian Pacific Ocean.
Thank you.
I'll create the masterpiece of a lifetime.
GACKT-san, after fishing yesterday, I've gained the confidence that I can fish with you.
Next, I'll take you on a fishing trip that will set your life ablaze!

This morning's deep hell of an apocalypse-like filming was a great success.
Thank you everyone. It's become an amazing movie. GACKT's convincing performance was a sight to behold.

Director's diary for movie Karanukan
Today GACKT and Akiyoshi Kumiko joined us at the Hamano set, and wonderful footage was born.
The picture was taken from yesterday's Noro scene which took a day to film. We managed to get the best quality footage.
The Noro's costumes, songs, dances, and prayers too are of world-class level

Movie「Karanukan」Director's Diary
Today's film location. Tomorrow an even more spectacular beach of Yaeyama awaits. All the staff, and cast members are energetic, increasingly, the desire for a great production grows.
Lead actor GACKT's acting skills too had some ingenuity added in, and his power of expression has become an art.
In the earlier half, heroine Kimura Ryouka brilliantly acted out the biggest highlight.
Great weather continues daily. Looks like our time in Okinawa will continue cranking up at this rate.

You might think that there are "so many?" but this is only a part of the team in Hamano. Production unit, filming unit, directing unit, public relations, lighting, costumes, props, making... Everyone carries out their roles well.

The world that I want to show with 「Kāranukan」 is the future that visibly overlaps on the lifestyle developed by people. The Climax will increase more and more

I feel so happy

White is the close-up color in Kāranukan.
The key is the sun, God, Nirai-Kanai *, it is the symbol of transformation and regeneration.
White will appear in the movie in its own way, transparent, the movie is ruled by life and love.
GACKT is white, Ryoka is white, it is an important color

*In Okinawan folklore, there are tales of traditional gods and a land of the gods called Nirai-Kanai, an unknown faraway land from where happiness is brought
