Here’s a film that you’ll want to keep your eyes on. NAKAE Yuuji, the guru behind the hit films “Nabbie’s Love” and “Hotel Hibiscus”, will be directing a movie based on the ultra-popular Ishigaki-jima band BEGIN called “Koishikute”. The film is set for release in 2007 and there’s a chance that it’ll play here in Hawaii (i.e. if the timing’s right) for our Hawaii International Film Festival. I’m basing this on their having screened “Hotel Hibiscus”. As far as the band goes in the present, the busiest member is guitarist SHIMABUKURO Masaru who’s been producing music for other artists such as MAX (”Kirakirari”) and UETO Aya (”Nukumori”). Btw, my favorite song from the band is “Koishikute”.
