::Do you watch films that make you cry often?::
Kaoru - Yes, but it's not like I watch it thinking I am going to cry.
::What film always makes someone cry or if they don't they can't be human?::
Kaoru - 'Hachikou Monogatari'. I saw this and I thought anyone who doesn't cry when they watch this is strange.
Toshiya - I cried because of that. That really makes you cry ne?
Kaoru - A person who sees it and doesn't cry, has failed in being human.
::Also do you ever want to have the kind of love relationships that you see in films?::
Kaoru - I don't think about such things (laugh).
Toshiya - I don't dream to that extent (laugh). Anyway I haven't watched any love films.
::How about 'Ghost'?::
Toshiya - I have never seen it.
::Haven't you seen it?!::
Toshiya - No. I haven't seen 'Titanic' either.
::Hmm?..::
Kaoru - I do watch but I don't understand the feelings of people who want to watch films like 'titanic' 5,6 times.
::So what type of film would you watch over and over again?::
Kaoru - There are a number of times when I feel like watching 'Miyazawashun' and so I have watched that many times. There are also other anime as well.
::It's all manga for you 2 isn't it?::
Kaoru - Yes. (laugh) 'Ebangelion' I think it was - one day when I had a day off I woke up in the evening and went to the corner shop whereby I was watching the 'pia' (hina-?!) and I realised that that day was the last day of the roadshow and because I had wanted to watch it earlier I had to go and watch it! So I went to watch it in the cinema.
::You wanted to watch it in the cinema before it came out on video?::
Kaoru - yes. I had to watch it. I seldom go to watch films in the cinema. Since I moved here I have only been twice and the last time I went to see a film was 4~5 years ago. I watched 'Omihi de poroporo'.
::Anime again?::
Kaoru - (laugh) When I went to see X Japan's Live at Tokyo Dome. I went without booking a hotel and so I had to stay overnight in an all night cinema. At that time River Phoenix's 'My Private Aidaho' I think it was, was on as well. I was having trouble deciding which one I should watch. I was with ny friend and so it certainly had to be the Anime and we chose 'Omihi de Poroporo'. (laugh)
::Does that mean you liked River Phoenix?::
Kaoru - yes.
Toshiya - River Phoenix was popular amongst the girls ne.
::Are there any films you watch because of the actors who starr in it?::
Kaoru - Not recently but I used to like an actress called Brigitte Fonder. I used to watch all her films. In the past, I went to see her when she came to Japan to be a guest at a movie festival.
::You were a big fan ne?::
Kaoru - To tell you the truth, yes (laugh)
::She was in 'Asashin' wasn't she?::
Kaoru - Yes and also 'Roommate'.
Toshiya - ( hina; he says something about liking this actor with a name I can't actually read! Sorry.) I thought Natalie Portman was pretty in 'Leon'. Now she is in Star Wars.
::Have you ever had the experience where you became such a big fan of someone, you copied their fashion and hairstyle?::
Kaoru - I wanted to copy River Phoenix
Toshiya - Really?
Kaoru - Yes
Toshiya - I wanted to see that (laugh)
Kaoru - But I didn't because I thought I wouldn't suit it.
::Oh, really?::
Kaoru - Yes. When I was in secondary school I went to see a film called 'Jimmy' at the cinema and I thought ' I want to make my hair into that hairstyle!' But it wasn't going to suit me so I didn't.
