(Floor)Music fashion also, anyway nice. Despite the 40 years before the work is strange that not all old also watching now. The public at that time, and Catherine Deneuve, but is so co-star of Françoise Dorléac has become a hot topic is the actual sister, figure that two people dance dressed in the same costume, cute much impeccable! Not only the women, including the sailor who roam the city, is coolness also attractions of fashion for men.

(Sachi)I like the French movie, which was also sometimes saw previously. Taste is completely different work, but a rather, like "The Young Girls of Rochefort" of bright and lively atmosphere. Including the costumes and streets, because the color schemes of the whole work is fun mood very colorful. Music even if I like really, it has to flow well Soundtrack even cafe "skylight of violets" to our management.

(Floor)In addition to including the Jacques Tati supervision work, it will sink well of France Movie Soundtrack. Reaction of the audience is pretty good.

- "Umbrellas of Cherbourg" How was your.

(Floor)Deneuve of starring, at this time, but it is the fact that 20-year-old. After all, the French than the Japanese, moisture mature .... Anyway, I love to play with Deneuve was cute. Lover to hear that join the army, or "other living not have ......", is completely feel that is not visible around (laughs). Deneuve's mother, on the other hand there to be brought up the daughter indeed woman one person, impressive that have a shrewd way of life. Kind of human events is interesting, it was a deep movie. I received also the message of "human, ... is do not be happy only money" (laughs).

(Sachi)I think you have still cuteness of Deneuve is glowing. Then, the whole volume, even speech is that song fresh. In fact, Jacques Demy director, have made a movie called "roller" in front of this work, is called the trilogy together it. "Laura" is in Japan was a long private, just the other day, determines the debut of the French embassy, ​​it was gleefully reservation (laughs).

French and Japanese are similar in point feel the "cute"

(Floor)French and Japanese, than is quite close sensibility. In particular, point to feel the "cute". Of the French film "Amelie" also, but it was a big hit in Japan. In addition, when walking down the French town, cobblestone is laid, and is lined with small decorative house, you feel the cuteness and warmth. The United States is of the city to reverse have a large building built with the Dane, do not fit in somewhere my senses. For now, our also of many French in the music of the fan, it may be because there is something which is also common.

- Two of the works, do you think is empathy in Japan today of the young people.

(Floor)Girl majority of, those that are holding a desire to "want to be a princess" (laughs). But, to be played a princess in the play of the kindergarten is only one person. Many of the girls are not put out the princess desire in the table, but we slept in the depths of the heart, in particular "The Young Girls of Rochefort" is, I think that works to stimulate the kind of desire. I myself, feeling that watching this work feels "very good", since we still princess desire becomes the source.

(Sachi)Although there may be a reluctance to hear that musical, because just interesting story rather than music, I want to watch without stance too. I'm sure, supposed to get to thought, "also it is nice like this movie".
