Because when I was a teenager, I hated this world, says Higuchi.
But I was interested in living ahead, like I was looking at the future.
At my school, they didnt really allow you to go on a creative path.
Everybody would move on and go to university.
I took the public service test, but I felt that my future was not there.
That was the first time I asked myself, what is it that I want to do?
The answer was, basically, to go into films.
Growing up, Higuchi was heavily inspired byUltramanandGodzillacreator Eiji Tsuburaya, as well as George Lucas and Steven Spielberg.
Reading how Spielberg madeJawswhile in his twenties, Higuchi was inspired and wanted to do the same.
So when I was in my 20s, I was quite cocky, in a way.
The American films from the 1970s still have a big impact on me.
Higuchi says that he has wanted to makeBullet Train Explosionfor nearly 20 years.
Besides Kusanagi, the film also stars Kanata Hosoda, Non, Jun Kaname and Machiko Ono.
Tsuyoshi had rebelled against the boss of the entertainment business and left the company not on good terms.
Characters are usually the main impression and takeaways of these films maybe that might be the appeal.
