The Characters Are Born From Repetition, From

In The Past, Humans Hesitated When They Took Lives, Even Non-human Lives. But Society Had Changed, And They No Longer Felt That Way. As Humans Grew Stronger, I Think That We Became Quite Arrogant, Losing The Sorrow Of 'we Have No Other Choice.' I Think That In The Essence Of Human Civilization, We Have The Desire To Become Rich Without Limit, By Taking The Lives Of Other Creatures.

The Villains Are All Parts Of Me. For Years I've Been Wondering What It Would Be Like If All Those Negative Elements Were Forced Onto The Main Character's Side. I Can Understand A Character With That Kind Of Anger.

In Our Work, The Question Is, How Much You Absorb From Others. So For Me, Creativity, Is Really Like A Relay Race. As Children We Are Handed A Baton. Rather Than Passing It Onto The Next Generation As Is, First We Need To Digest It And Make It Our Own.

Personally I Am Very Pessimistic. But When, For Instance, One Of My Staff Has A Baby You Can't Help But Bless Them For A Good Future. Because I Can't Tell That Child, 'oh, You Shouldn't Have Come Into This Life.' And Yet I Know The World Is Heading In A Bad Direction. So With Those Conflicting Thoughts In Mind, I Think About What Kind Of Films I Should Be Making.

We Are Not Trying To Solve The World's Problems... However, Even In The Midst Of Hatred And Killing, There Are Things Worth Living For. A Wonderful Encounter, Or A Thing Of Beauty Can Still Exist.
