Congradulation Yakusho San, on your first self directed film. You did a wonderful job, you are and will continue to be an amazing actor. I look forward to any new films coming out and really hope you have a lead role in the new Martin Scorsazee (sp?) film about the history of Catholic missionaries in Japan. It sounds fascinating. Kudos to you - you gorgeous, intelligent and talented man. I know this will make it to the Tokyo Film Festival for October, 2009 and I have no doubt you will play a role in that festival for many years to come. I'd love to be there this year and have the priviledge of shaking your hand in congradulations.
