| May 5 On March 13, 2008, the Asahi shimbun put an interview with Koji Yakusho about his hobby, woodwork. I have made a rough translation for this interview. April 26 Koji Yakusho's office has announced that, due to his tight schedule, Koji will be unable to be present at the 61st Cannes International Film Festival for the screening day of "Tokyo Sonata", which has been named for "Un Certain Regard". However, director Kiyoshi Kurosawa, Teruyuki Kagawa and Kyoko Koizumi will attend on this occasion. April 24 The first teaser trailer for "Paco and the Magical Picture Book" is now available on the official website. In the understanding of Koji's fans, Koji is always as handsome and sexy as in the roles of Nobu, Yasujiro and Hara Jubei, for instance; but in this film.... well, he is marvellous! April 23 "TOKYO SONATA" directed by Kiyoshi Kurosawa has been selected for " Un Certain Regard" at the 61st Cannes International Film Festival. Variety reports all the lineup for Cannes. April 23 Koji's new Kirin Namacha (cold green tea) commercial has recently started being shown on TV. Here is its site. April 21 Koji Yakusho's new TV commercials (Chuo Mitsui Trust Bank) started on April 19. The background is that Koji feels moved watching a film of a man on his retirement day.
