Now he's director. Fujii takeshi is very talented, he was humming when he was in the car with me for his voice to warm up.( The writer for the tv show was crazy enough to let me drive him.)

Good flick. Kitano Takeshi = Mr. Cool. I remember him from "Sonatine" but can't remember his other stuff. I haven't seen many of their other movies, what would you recommend? Fujii Takashi was soo funny in L.I.T. Look forward to seeing your show, good luck with that. I was happy to shake hands once with Mifune Toshiro at a Berkeley film fest years ago. I stuck my hand out and surprised he shook my sweaty palm. I am grateful he did not spit on it. The Kurosawa pic I'd choose is "Kakushi-toride no san-akunin" -- and be Tahei/Chiaki Minoru or Matakishi/Fujiwara Kamatari. Two wretches trying to get by. To me, they had the best and funniest lines.

Best regards, Ken Hi Aiko,

If you could go back in time and star in any Kurosawa Akira film — which movie and role would you play?

Best regards,
