Machiko Kyo and Ganjiro Nakamura in Floating Weeds (Yasujiro Ozu, 1959)

Cast: Ganjiro Nakamura, Machiko Kyo, Ayako Wakao, Hiroshi Kawaguchi, Haruko Sugimura, Hitomi Nozoe, Chishu Ryu, Koji Mitsue, Haruo Tanaka. Screenplay: Yasujiro Ozu, Kogo Noda, based on a screenplay by Tadao Ikeda. Cinematography: Kazuo Miyagawa. Production design: Hideo Matsuyama. Film editing: Toyo Suzuki. Music: Takanobu Saito. The remake of his 1934 silent, A Story of Floating Weeds, Yasujiro Ozu's Floating Weeds adds not only the technological advances of sound and color, but also shows the maturing of Ozu's sensibility. It's clear that the director feels a deep identification with Komajuro (Ganjiro Nakamura), the "master" of the group of traveling players, who finds himself worried not only about his responsibility to the actors but also about his responsibility to his unacknowledged son, Kiyoshi (Hiroshi Kawaguchi), now that the young man is of an age to make the kind of mistakes Komajuro has made. The wonderful Machiko Kyo also brings great depth to the role of Sumiko, an actress in the troupe and Komajuro's current mistress. When she susses out the fact that Komajuro has a former mistress, Oyoshi (Haruko Sugimura), in the town where they're currently performing, and that Kiyoshi is his son by Oyoshi, she takes revenge by having the pretty young actress Kayo (Ayako Wakao) seduce the young man. It's a fairly conventional plot, to be sure, devised for the earlier film by Ozu and Tadao Ikeda, but it reverberates beautifully with the film's theme: a celebration of acting and all that it involves. Komajuro, after all, has been playing the role of Kiyoshi's "uncle," with Oyoshi's aid. And Kayo's acting as the seductress turns into a real love affair. Above all, though, it's the quiet mastery of film that shines through every frame of Ozu's work, made magical by Kazuo Miyagawa's cinematography and Hideo Matsuyama's production design. One of the great works by one of film's great humanists.

KOKIA in flashback - 2013

The year of 2013 marks KOKIA's 15th anniversary. Having traveled to Bali, Indonesia in the year before, KOKIA has gotten inspired for her 15th anniversary concert and names it COLOR OF LIFE. The accompanying album is called Where to go my love?, although both album and concert are colored by a dramatic event in KOKIA's life. This is the translation of the blog entry she made in March 2013, and this is the translation of her blog post almost ten years later. Holding the anniversary concert anyway, despite wanting to cancel it initially, is what strengthens her resolve to keep singing no matter what.

After the concert, KOKIA takes a break and travels to London, a place she will be returning to more and more often in the future. She also takes up studying English. Her performances in Japan slow down for a while as she finds her footing again, but she assures her fans that she appreciates their support and will continue singing.

Ikeda Ayako - 三日月 (Mikadzuki) - Lyrics

audio Japanese/Romaji/English lyrics under the cut 

title: Crescent Moon

冷たい月夜にぼんやり目覚めた  昨日の涙がじわりと蘇る  本当の気持ちを守り抜くことさえ  上手に出来なくて  人を傷つけた    あなたの仕種や好きだった声  よせては返す  あなたの言葉    僕らはこんなに  無力で幼い光を探していた  もう返らない  見上げた三日月    乾いた唇 水を飲み干して  ため息まじりで  窓の側に座る    蒼く光る月 響きのように  空に流れて 今明けていく    僕らはこんなに  無力で幼い光探して  壊れていった あの雲みたいに    出逢いと別れを何度も重ねて  愛の意味を知って  優しい人になりたい    もうすぐ朝焼け  私もこうして明日に向かって  思いで抱え 心で歌うの

tsumetai zukiyo ni bonyari mezameta kinou no namida ga jiwari to yomigaeru hontou no kimochi o mamorinuku koto sae jouzu ni dekinakute hito o kizutsuketa

anata no shigusa ya suki datta koe yosete wa kaesu anata no kotoba

bokura wa konna ni muryoku de osanai hikari o sagashiteita mou kaeranai miagaeta mikazuki

kawaita kuchibiru, mizu o nomi hoshite tame iki majiri de mado no soba ni suwaru

aoku hikaru zuki, hibiki no you ni sora ni nagarete, ima akete yuku

bokura wa konna ni muryoku de osanai hikari sagashite kowareteitta ano kumo mitai ni

deai to wakare o nandomo kasanete ai no imi o shitte yasashii hito ni naritai

mou sugu asa yake watashi mo koushite ashita ni mukatte omoi de kakae, kokoro de utau no

I lazily awoke on a cool, moonlit night Yesterday’s tears gradually resurface I can’t even follow my true feelings very well, and I hurt people

Your behavior, and voice that I loved; your words break and retreat away like waves

As we were, we had been searching for that weak, young light But the crescent moon I looked up at will no longer return

My dry lips drink down the water in between breaths as I sit beside the window

The blue glowing moon, like it’s echoing, floats in the sky as dawn now breaks

As we are, we’re searching for that weak, young light Broken, like those clouds

Meeting and parting over and over, and now knowing the meaning of love, I want to become a nice person

The sun will rise soon And so I’m also heading for tomorrow Holding on to my memories, I sing from my heart

[jeanvaljean29]

Toco tu mano y el cielo se abre para mí. En cada abrazo tu estrella baja y engalana mi vida.

Cuando beso tus labios todo cobra sentido: felicidad y tristeza tienen un motivo y ese motivo es amarte ante tormentas y tempestades, ante valles y prados.

Y es que amarte se vuelve tan sencillo, que con tan solo arrancar una sonrisa de tu rostro todo cambia de sepia a color.

Porque te amo y en cada paso que resuena en nuestra vida tiene valor e importancia, porque con amor y tomados de las manos nuestro sacramento se convierte en temple de acero frente a cualquier adversidad.

Te amo y mi cariño vela para que tu sonrisa jamás desaparezca.

Jamás pierdas la certeza que soy el amor de tu vida.
