From have received the story of this interview, I was thrilled, "I want to watch soon!". I mean, probably documentary average of 80-year-old age grandfather, grandmother sing the lock. When I actually saw, if you shout the "SHOULD I STAY OR SHOULD I GO" of grandma of 92-year-old is suddenly THE CLASH. The love lock I think that it is irresistible opening. It is knocked out in that time. It was immediately dragged into the work than you think.

- In particular the remaining scene in the impression?

In BOB DYLAN "FOREVER YOUNG" to sing at a concert in prison, he has raised his hand along with the other side of the members of the screen. After, passed away alone among the members was supposed to take the main vocal where two were or "FIX YOU" of COLD PLAY that of the other alone grandfather is as possible to sing, is obediently crying. Lyrics with a compelling precisely because that age also was great. In the past few years, to tears fall speed was abnormally fast (laughs). It will penetrate completely in the movie, it was easy movie to empathy. While we usually think or "I wish good this actor acting," But I'm a person who is watching a fairly objectively movie.

Great sensibility in which it will make up the world of their own

- At the sight of elderly people who sing the lock, what did you feel?

The making things of the attitude of the eagle, "constantly want to see the next" because there is the idea that, without also still once you try to satisfaction against manufactured in the past work. Last work just before the die is, I've been I want to be the best the best of things. Elderly people in the movie, while prepared for death, through the best way of life to the end. In its attitude I was able to sympathize.
I thought a great Do, while to complete the song gradually finish the arrangement, by breaking its shape a little, was not brilliantly creating their own personality. I think it me, that it be necessary also in the process of making things. A grandfather is there is a dialogue that "I made this song to their own thing". Even if the original've heard completely different thing, that to the best performance in the sing range. Even if it is a correct form, is sensibility it was great that let us build up a world of their own.

- Do you think the generation live this movie in the aging society, also the younger generation to come to Shibuya, I want you how to watch?

Society until the whole story is but I can not imagine .... Members who come out to the movies, to find a reason for living by singing happens in front of people, fellow also increased, living strong. Maybe, I kind of people, than a lot in Japan? I Toka Toka go fishing. So, this work is I think that the movie, which is recommended, regardless of the generation. Young people, I think that I also watched as a chance to have an interest in rock classics you did not know about this.
Eagle of his youth is thought say "now own is the best!". It is a look at the seniors of coolness and greatness out in society, start to notice the "Do not beat the adults." Before long, it becomes an adult, and looked around, notice that there are above the top yet. Young people wonder if I want to watch while Imagine "still Nante human'm 20 years or so." And are you doing man 80 years, Well then 20 years, experience and knowledge, I coolness is completely different, after all.
