I remember well the interview of Takakura Ken-san, a famous actor in Japan,
"When I was in the Antarctic for the filming of "the Antarctic story", I thought that why such a painful offer is coming for me, in the minus tent."
"Even though I am, I want to appear on the screen, yachting in the southern island, getting on aloha shirt and singing a song with the ukulele."(Like Kayama Yuzou-san)
These phrases left a very impression on me.
If possible I wanted to make his dream come true of "The movie that he enjoys singing alone"
-----
At a report of the death of Takakura Ken-san, I pray its soul may rest in peace with sincere and deepest sympathy.
