Return to Yamagata pt2

11/10/2009 by McAllister.

I am now back in Yamagata which is a little bizarre. Played to 600 people yesterday which was nerve racking for me and for Naoki. Yamagata is Naoki’s hometown. They asked how he felt having exposed himself so naked in the film he said ‘relieved’. I suggested more people do it in Japan as a joke but they didn’t get. I was surprised though that they enjoyed the humour in the film especially the Viagra joke. I am almost enjoying being back in Japan… has my hate turned to love? Not quite. Today is the big screening in the 1200 seat cinema. It’s so great to see Yoshie enjoying the limelight almost more then Naoki.
