a press conference for "Earthlings in Love" at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan.

Last night, we held a press conference for "Earthlings in Love" at the Foreign Correspondents’ Club of Japan.

This was my third time taking the stage here, following "Ken and Kazu" and "Somebody’s Flowers".

 The Q&A sessions here always enrich the film and give me a fresh appreciation of its depth.

The response from the critical journalists and film industry people were very positive, and seeing everyone analyze the film while also expressing their excitement—saying things like, “It was absolutely amazing!” "I was crying from the middle of the story."with the enthusiasm of young boys and girls—really warmed my heart.

The film opens in theaters on December 11th! Thank you for your support!
