Hana no Ato

I was recently invited by Keiko to the premiere of her most recent movie, “Hana no Ato”

最近Keikoから連絡があり、彼女の最新作「はなのあと」の舞台挨拶に行ってきました！

Man, the place was PACKED…

Keiko has really built up a big following…Good for her!!

いや〜混んでた〜〜！

やっぱ景子はすごい！

Here, Keiko plays the role of a Japanese girl in the super old school samurai days.

景子の作品としては初めての時代劇。普段の景子とのギャップがすごすぎて楽しみだった！

She has this very traditional aspect to her character…

いるいる、こういうの…

…but she also has this side…

Super dope. 6 months of training with a katana sword…It REALLY shows in her final scene.

It’s not an action movie by  no means, but those final few minutes of action make it all worthwhile.

The fight scene was short but wow….

でもこれは新鮮！！かっこいい！

６ヶ月もトレーニングしたんだって。

剣裁きはお見事だった！

本当に感動してしまいました…（笑）

Great job Keiko!! Bring your sword over to my house next time and let’s cut some shit.

I loved it. = )

…just as much as the free dinner you bought us after the premiere…and the crazy afterparty too!

でもこの景子が一番好きかな！

景子、作品面白かったよ！

誘ってくれてありがとうね。プレミアのあとの食事もおごってくれてありがとう！

あのあとのafter partyはマジ最高だったね！

今度うちで剣を振り回してくれ〜

FYI: It’s about keio’s character  innocently falling in love with a guy. However, they meet during a sword fight sparring session. She loves swords and the art-form surrounding it. That guy gets setup by some rich people and he ends up committing suicide to take responsibility for the problems…Knowing that this guy got setup, Keiko’s character starts to seek the truth…and ends up cutting everyone up…sweet…

「はなのあと」…日本人は映像見てね。
