The 19th annual Tokyo International Festival, in Roppongi Hills, Tokyo, raised it's curtains on the 21st. Adorning
the opening was [Flags of our Fathers], the American side of the collaboration project between America and Japan
based on the fierce battle of Iwo Jima which became pivotal to the Pacific War, Clint Eastwood (76) who undertook
the direction of it, and Watanabe Ken (47) who starred in the Japanese side [Letter from Iwo Jima] appeared
in a video message. Upstage the actors from both sides met for the first time, mixing with a yell that energized
the location.
The curtain-raising event, as it was called, was when the lead actors of [Flags of our Fathers], Jesse Bradford
(27) and others, made their appearance on the Roppongi Hills stage. Because of the editing of [Letter from Iwo Jima]
Director Eastwood was unable to come to Japan, his features were reflected in the location on a giant screen,
raising commotion from the audience.
That Director Eastwood forwarded something like a video message was unprecedented. With just that for this creation
filled with such deep emotions, [I am extremely honoured to have been chosen for the opening creation. Please
enjoy it.] he called out.
Iwo Jima's attack was a project sketched out in an America-Japan collaboration. Watanabe, who also couldn't attend
due to work circumstances, also appeared on video. Commenting on his enjoymen of the one-step-ahead American part,
[A very Clint-like cool movie. Each country's standpoint on the war's misery, cruelty, I was glued to with
relentless calmness.] he raved. To the American side's actors who were at the location he said with confidence,
[The team for "Letter from Iwo Jima" also, so as not to lose to anyone, worked their utmost to create it.]
The Japanese side's actors, [Arashi]'s Ninomiya Kazunari (23), Ihara Tsuyoshi (42), and Kase Ryou (31) hastened
in to the location, shaking hands and mixing with Bradford et. al. with smiles. Ihara praised them, [Although we weren't
working together with each other, it feels like we're comrades.]
Already being called a strong contender for an Academy Award, Ninomiya said [I wish to obtain about three (oscars).
Following (Academy nominee for best supporting actor) Ken-san.] is his ambition.
For the World Premiere at the Japanese Budoukan in the middle of next month, Director Eastwood will be coming to
Japan. When Ihara suggested, [What if you invite (Director Eastwood) to a concert?], Ninomiya responded [That's
embarrasing. But it might be fun, ne.] with enthusiasm.
Hope that helps, I did my best :woot:
