I am glad to be here to create a new history in our industry. I'm very proud of this.

A lot of country making films in English, but in Japan we are very shy to speak English.

It was a black and white film [at first]. And then it changed to colour film, and I was surprised and culture shocked when I was six or seven years old. And then HD, then 3D now. So what's going? What's coming next? It's so exciting.

This is almost the most famous story The last samurai - Samurai story - in Japan.

I am glad to be here to create a new history in our industry. I'm very proud of this.

This is a good thing, mixing culture to make something new, something no one has ever seen. This is kind of a new history.

It's very difficult to introduce the world to our culture.
