Life is too short " GO FOR BROKE"

it is 2012....yes the year all of people have been talking about. whatever happens this year, i believe it is meant to be. it is the law of universe. our life is in between the beats of universe and life forces.

i always ask myself what i have accomplished and if i was good influence to the others.

i always want to try to be a good impression to our brothers and sisters.

my definition of " acting" is the factor of good cause for good effect in our society.

what i feel is what ppl feel through my passion and acting.

i thank all the people supporting me and believing in me.

LETS LOOK UPON THE SKY and BE like Sunflower !

ハリウッド随想

２０１２年もあっという間に、２月を迎え、時の経つのが本当に早く感じます。
今までは、英語でブログ、サイトなどもアップしていたので、日本語もチャレンジしてみようと書いています。
日本語を日頃遣わないと、おかしな日本語になってしまっているのでは？と少し心配ですが、読み流して下さい。

そうそう、数年前にNHKの特番で、中村獅童さんと共演させて頂いた「チャーリー　チャップリン／高野虎一物語」の台本を読み合わせた時、NHKの日本から来た監督さんに、私の日本語のイントネーションがおかしいと指摘を頂いたときは、正直ショックでしたし、心外でした。

月日が経つのがあっという間で、何を残してきたのか非常に疑問ですが、自分なりに感謝、そして学びの毎日をすごさせて頂いています。

世界中が憧れるハリウッドで、オーデションに行かせてもらい、有名な役者の方と友好を交わさせて頂き、自分の想いっきりワガママに生きさせて頂いている事に、最高の感謝を込めて、社会に御礼をしようとの気持ちで毎日スタートしています。

役者は、自分自身との葛藤、昇華、また鍛錬の厳しい世界、弱肉強食でありながら、また自分自身のキャラクターに挑戦し、確固たる役を作り上げる、共同作業と思います。

私も、人間として何かを人々の心に残せるような、役者になりたいものです

チャップリンは私の尊敬する喜劇役者

先人に感謝の祈りを捧げたいと思います

The history of " COMEDY"

Whenever i talk about COMEDY , i always wonder what really " Comedy ' means to us.

my definition of comedy is " human-being " itself is the form of art.

sadness, happiness, anger, and all emotions are already the forms of art.

Comedy play itself is the manifest of human life condition.

To me, " Comedy " is something that i dont feel acting..cus i feel it and i can be who i am rather than acting in drama characters.



here is the academic quote from the book about " the history of comedy"

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

ORIGIN OF COMEDY

This document was originally published in The Drama: Its History, Literature and Influence on Civilization, vol. 1. ed. Alfred Bates. London: Historical Publishing Company, 1906. pp. 26-28.

The evolution of comedy is much simpler than that of its sister art, though as to its origin and earlier development there is little exact information. All that Aristotle can tell us is that it first took shape in Megaris and Sicyon, whose people were noted for their coarse humor and sense of the ludicrous, while Susarion, the earliest comic poet, was a native of a Megarian town. Add to this that it arose from the Phallic processions of the Greeks, as did tragedy from the dithyramb, and we have about all that is known as to the inception of the lighter branch of the drama.

At country festivals held in celebration of the vintage it was the custom for people to pass from village to village, some in carts, uttering the vile jests and abuse unjustly attributed to the tragic choruses; others on foot, bearing aloft the Phallic emblem and singing the praises of Phales, the comrade of Bacchus. In cities it was also the custom, after an evening banquet, for young men to roam around the streets with torches in their hands, headed by a lyre or flute-player. Such a band of revellers was called a comus, and a member of the band a comoedus or comus-singer, the song itself being termed a comoedia, or comedy, just as a song of satyrs was named a tragoedia, or tragedy.

The Phallic processions were continued as late as the days of Aristotle, and we learn from one of the orations of Demosthenes that the riotous youths who infested the streets of Athens delighted in their comic buffooneries. Pasquinades of the coarsest kind were part of the exhibitions, and hence, probably, it was that comedy found a home at Athens during the time of Pericles, for it furnished the demagogues with a safe and convenient means of attacking their political opponents. When formally established as a branch of the drama it had its chorus, though less numerous and costly than the dithyrambic choir, and the actors, at first without masks, disguised their features by smearing them with the lees of wine.

By Plato comedy is defined as the generic name for all exhibitions which have a tendency to excite laughter. Though its development was mainly due to the political and social conditions of Athens, it finally held up the mirror to all that was characteristic of Athenian life. By a consensus of authorities comedy has been arranged in three divisions, or rather should they be termed variations in form--the old, the middle and the new--and these it will here be convenient to follow.

Secret Hollywood Story / Charlie Chaplin and Japanese man

My Hollywood Icon and respect is Charlie Chaplin.

He was a successful comedy actor but had long tough life against the authority for the sake of people and justice.

I had a gig making the documentary of charlie chaplin's 120's birth and i did the role of charlie chaplin's secretary " TORAICHI KONO".

I didnt know there was such a man, esp Japanese man working behind the success of hollywood golden time.

Toraichi had worked with Chaplin for 18 years during the hightlighted Charlie chaplin's career.

In fact, the famous charlie chaplin's trade mark " walking stick" was brought from japan, yes made in japan!!

Toraichi was the most trusted guy in charlie's career but it ended because of charlie chaplin's second Wife ... she was so distruscted by the charlie's special attachment to KONO.

sadly Kono returned to japan after working with chaplin 18 years.


Kono never returned to holywood even chaplin's many offers and visits to japan and just to see KONO....

Charlie's broken heart was one of the biggest tragedy and also the comedy.

I want to share this story for the name of most contributed asian in hollywood in the history of silver screen.
