I wish them both the very best. Naoki is exceptional and deserves a turn of good luck and Yoshie is young and lovely with lots of conscience. I wish them both the very best.

Many congratulations to Sean and Naoki - a wonderful film by everyone full of generosity and honesty. It really affected me - a haunting study of economics and the odd ways we love one another and the fragility of 'safety' for humans. My heart goes out to Naoki and Yoshi - I hope they make it and find some kind of happiness in the midst of such awful pressure. Love and prayers from Ireland!

It was so different from the usual programmes about Japan that we get in the UK and I felt really privileged to be able to get such an honest insight into this aspect of the country. I really want to say thank you to Naoki and Yoshie for being brave enough to live their life in front of a camera, and to Sean for investing so much of himself in the making of this film. A brilliant collaboration! I watched the documentary last night and I have been thinking about it ever since!

It captures reality in such a candid way. Reality we often choose not to see. Absolutely amazing work. One of the best documentaries I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen a lot.

Some of the part was painful as I work those environment and knows how cruel to be "Different" in Japanese mono-society especially in country side. But the fact is, Naoki was one of the most sane, head-screwed on the right way Japanese guy that I have seen sometime, including Japanese expat clients who I see everyday. Naoki expresses what he see and feel, and sometimes shows certain vision that majority of Japanese would find hard to swallow. Naoki often described himself as a shadow. I was having a bit of trouble understanding what exactly he try to explain. Reading his letter here, I finally understand that he was inspired by you, Yoshie & her family, and found that everything has 2 side, what's behind of shadow is light, something shines, and he managed to crack his closed mind. Thank you for the program, and best wishes to all. Renato Shiba in London Was indeed very interesting and enjoyed it thoroughly.
