Watch the movie “Wind Phone” preview

I was invited to the premiere of the movie “Wind Phone” and was able to see the finished work at the Broad Media Studio preview room in Tsukishima, Chuo-ku, Tokyo on September 25th.

The screening time is 2 hours and 19 minutes. In today’s world, where many people are saddened by the frequent occurrence of disasters at home and abroad and the loss of their loved ones, the work is finished with the motif of “Wind Phone”, which gives hope through the connection between people.

In particular, the main character, Haru, lost her parents and younger brother in the Great East Japan Earthquake in Otsuchi, and was entrusted to her aunt in Hiroshima, but her aunt also collapsed. He wonders why only he has to face this. Then, on the way out of Hiroshima and aiming for the sledgehammer in his hometown, while touching the sadness of various people, he learned that everyone was suffering and suffering, and not only himself but everyone had some troubles. I know that. And you will learn that you have to live strong.

The climax is a scene where you call a family member who no longer visits “Wind Phone”. The wind blowing outside the telephone box seemed to say that the sound shook the leaves and that Hull’s voice was delivered to the heavenly family in the wind. Even if you die, you can still convey your feelings. If you have sensibility and imagination! For details, please watch the movie released in theaters from January 24th next year.

Thank you very much.

From the photo, we took a commemorative photo with the director and actors before the preview, and with Mr. Nishida and Mr. Nishijima at the launch party. On this day, Ms. Motola, who played the role of Haru, was in attendance from the launch.

“Wind Phone” Bond with Amami Oshima

On August 31st, I received a red dial-type public telephone from Amami Oshima. This is a phone call made in the 1960s with a 10-yen coin. As young people today may not know, it is a nostalgic thing for us in our age.

Mr. Nobuo Yasushi, a former NTT employee of Amami Oshima, who watched TV for 24 hours, learned that “Wind Phone” is a mental support for the victims, and he damaged the phone he kept at home. I have contacted you to help the area.

Even now, eight years after the earthquake, many people still visit “Wind Phone” and continue to talk with people who cannot meet quietly in the telephone booth. It is known that there is one dial-type black telephone and a notebook in the telephone booth, and the telephone line is not connected anywhere. The image may be corrupted with a red phone. Therefore, if you decline there, you will end up saying “Is that so?” However, we learned the importance of “bonds and ties” in the disaster. I wanted to cherish the “connection” with Amami, which is far away. That’s why I replied, “I’ll have it.”

After that, Mr. Tamotsu contacted the newspaper company. The “Amami Shimbun” and “Nankai Nihon Shimbun” also contacted us and said, “Isn’t the real intention a nuisance?” And “I’m glad that Amami was involved in the reconstruction support for East Japan.”

The old telephone booth that was replaced last year is placed in the Kikki Forest as a garden object. A visitor from Kanagawa called, “I came to’Wind Phone’, but I don’t have a phone.” “I’m sorry, the real thing is at the bottom. Please use that.” It’s rude to say that it was funny. Also, in the picture book “Kaze no Denwa”, a red phone is drawn. Because of these things, I think that it is an “edge” that includes everything. Thank you very much.

24-hour TV “Wind Phone”

This year’s 24HOUR TV also had many moving programs. Although it is a moment when the audience rating and the marathon are aired, the number is close to 40%. “Wind Phone” is a little lower at 18%, but it’s still a great number.

Many people were impressed by the voices that the tears did not stop. There were some voices saying, “I’ve watched all the broadcasts of ‘Wind Phone’ so far, and it was the best.” I think that the work produced by producer Ikeda over three months has been recognized by many people. Even so, I think that Mr. Fujisawa’s “To those who can’t tell even if they want to tell” has grabbed the hearts of many people. I think it’s a good example that the attitude of pursuing the truth by eliminating the harassment is very moving.

Everyone can create and think of his story as alive in his life. There are loved ones, lovers, friends and acquaintances. It is a story to have dreams and hopes and live affluently. And when you lose your loved one, the story is interrupted there. Dreams and hopes will be cut off. Those who are left behind in a sudden interruption are overwhelmed by grief, suffering from remorse and regret, being confused and losing reality, and being able to cry. Some people are reluctant to go out or meet people even if they have a mental pain that they cannot hold.

When a loved one is lost, it is his sensibility and imagination that heals the sadness of the bereaved. Humans have a spiritual activity to recover what they have lost, and healing requires the creation of a new future through the imaginary world of being reconnected to the dead.

Speaking in the “Wind Phone” box, now when trying to communicate with the deceased, must organize and speak the thoughts that are confused and in a fragmented thought circuit. Self-questioning and self-answering can be used to organize your thoughts. Talking to oneself is, in other words, the discovery of oneself, and self-consciousness manifests itself in the form of words. It reveals what you are sad, what you are angry with, and what you are worried about. And self-questioning will lead to looking back on the story so far and creating a continuation of the new story. These series of actions will bring back the cut off days even for a moment, and those who are left behind must be aware of the new development of the story, and can gain the power to live in the creation of a new story. increase. I think this is what makes it possible to change consciousness from the grief by “Wind Phone”.

I pray that Mr. Fujisawa of Kitakami City will create a new story by spitting out the painful chest with “Wind Phone”, and that a new family will live with hope.

Another factor that impressed the “Wind Phone” program was Masafumi Akikawa, who sang “Become a Thousand Winds” with the video in the background, more than any other Thousand Winds I’ve ever heard. I felt it was good. He would have been still touching if he had sung in front of “Wind Phone”.

The photo above is a commemorative two-shot with the announcer Hatori after the interview. In the program, the announcer Hatori was also impressed by the moderator who was beyond tears. We look forward to your continued warm sympathy for “Wind Phone”.

August 25, “Wind Phone” broadcast on 24 HOUR TV

Nippon Television, this year’s “24 HOUR TV”, will be aired on August 25, and here we will introduce the “Wind Phone” that was produced over three months.

Since it is before the airing, the introduction of the photos has been stopped, but I would like to inform everyone who is sympathetic to “Wind Phone” by posting it on the blog. The time is not certain yet, but it is scheduled to start around 9:45 am. (Schedule may be changed.) I think you can experience the excitement that has not been seen in the media so far.
