Filmmaker. Directed “Moonlight Shadow” "Malu", “River of Exploding Durians”, “Aqerat (We, the Dead)”, "Kingyo" etc. // produced and edited “Stone Turtle”
We had promised to make a pilgrimage to the snow-covered Otaru together in 2025 - for your 40th debut anniversary and the 30th anniversary of "Love Letter."
And then this news of your sudden passing.
With so many emotions swirling inside - frustration, deep regret…I am yet unable to give formal words of remembrance…
Tonight, though only in spirit, I wish to be by your side.

出道40周年,电影《情书》上映30周年,就在这样具有纪念意义的2025年即将到来之际,我们还约好趁着还有雪的时候,一起去小樽进行圣地巡礼。然而,这样的约定却在收到讣告的瞬间戛然而止。
内心充满了遗憾和惊讶,种种情绪涌上心头难以平静,现在说出“愿您安息”这句话,对我来说还为时过早。
今晚,东京的天空下我的思念与心意,将陪伴着你。

데뷔 40주년, 그리고 <Love Letter> 30주년이라는 뜻깊은 2025년.
눈이 있는 계절에 함께 오타루에 성지 순례를 가자고 약속했던 찰나에 들려온 비보.
속상한 마음, 허망한 감정, 여러 가지가 소용돌이칩니다만,
아직은 “명복을 빈다”는 식의 틀에 박힌 말을 하고 싶지 않은 마음도 있습니다...
오늘 밤은 그저 마음으로나마 당신 곁에 있고 싶습니다.

デビュー40周年、「Love Letter」30周年、そんなメモリアルな来たる2025年、雪のあるうちに一緒に小樽に聖地巡礼しようと約束していた矢先の訃報。
悔しい想い、無念な想い、様々渦巻くけれど。まだご冥福をとか、極り文句は口にしたくない思いもあり。。。
今夜は気持ちだけですが、あなたの側に居ようと思います。

I hope you're all well, All.

I’m not going to be answering many questions here, about Apple TV’s adaptation of Neuromancer. I’ll have to be answering too many elsewhere, and doing my part on the production. So I thought I’d try to describe that, my part.
Stone Turtle (2023) bercerita tentang 'asing'. Hidup dalam keadaan asing sebagai seorang yang asing. Lebih parah, kemanusiaan yang digadai asing dek kerana kesumat membarah. Ahh filem ini untuk saya!
235- Stone Turtle (2022, 8 de 10). Me gustó mucho por sus giros de guión con elementos fantásticos. Es un film que combina elementos de terror, fantásticos y de suspense. Me costó algo entrar, pero llega un punto que no podía parar de verla hasta que concluyó.
Sakai Miki came to our pop up shop yesterday.
It’s been 14 years since we met last time at her wedding party.
She had kept a painting that I had given her as a commemorative gift during the Love Letter shooting.
We decided to have it displayed in the store on short notice!
Thank you, Miki!
Come visit us!
