Messages from Perfume and the Director Taketoshi Sado

a-chan:

I am so happy for our Japan and U.S. simultaneous premiere! It’s amazing!!! While I wonder how our live documentary turned out, I am a little bit embarrassed, because our documentary crew recorded us very closely during our tour. I’m very glad that not only Perfume fans in Japan but also overseas can see the true Perfume in this movie. I wonder if we could walk on the real red carpet this time, because when we walked for the Cars 2 world premiere, it was a black carpet to give the image of a racetrack. For our long cherished red carpet, I want to walk carefully. Wow! I am so nervous! (laughs)

KASHIYUKA:

Even though I was very happy for our tour becoming a movie, I still can’t believe it will be showing in Japan and the US simultaneously. I hope that lots of people will see our movie. I never even dreamed of the day when I can walk on the red carpet of the Tokyo International Film Festival. I am very pleased for the three of us to walk with pride of having been involved in this movie. Even for a short moment, I would like to enjoy the glamorous experience of the International Film Festival!

NOCCHi:

OMG! I can’t believe it! In any case, please come to see the movie! I can’t wait~ ^ ^

Taketoshi Sado, Director:

To have my first directed movie to be invited to the Tokyo International Film Festival and be shown worldwide is a supreme honor. I think if you feel touched by the real Perfume in this movie, you will become Perfume fan for sure. So to see the real face, I would like everyone around the world to watch this movie.
