April 2, 2013 from his facebook
While the cherry blossoms would fall because of this rain, young people on the street are impressive with their new suits even in this weather.
I guess everything has a new start for the year 2013.
I know nobody asked me. It's my birthday.
One year ago today, I was in the middle of shooting a scene for "Sue, Mai & Sawa: Rightning the Girl Ship."
It's kind of embarrassing but I remember Actor Kou Shibasaki and the staff for the film kindly celebrated me on the set.
I finally reach 41 years of age.
When I was around twenty, if I found out people I was dealing with were in their 40's, I looked up to them. Because I thought they must be very experienced and knowledgeable people who knew tons of sweet and bitter things in their life. However as I became older, I often felt awkward. My mind and body were not linked as I expected.
In some parts, I might gain experiences. Still I felt I needed to be more assured about myself.
When I had this kind of feeling, I read a comic book "Sue-chan."
It seems that we all live our one and only life honestly and carefully.
We have one chance to be twenty and thirty. And I started my 40's as well.
If I live long, I will experience my first time to be seventy and eighty.
All of us have a lot of first-time events through the life.
On this day, I want to thank the people who gave me the chance to make "Sue, Mai & Sawa: Rightning the Girl Ship," audiences of the film and the author Miri Masuda from the bottom of my heart.
The film is still showing!
