SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL 2015: Q & A SESSION WITH A FILM DIRECTOR (RYUICHI HIROKI) OF 'KABUKICHO LOVE HOTEL'  


SCREENING DATES:

  • FRI, 12 June 2015. 8:40pm. Event Cinemas George Street 4
  • SAT, 13 June 2015. 4:30pm. Event Cinemas George Street 9
In the latest from former 'pink film' director Ryuichi Hiroki, a love hotel in Tokyo's red-light district plays host to the salacious goings-on of its revolving door of occupants. Over the course of a day, young hotel manager Toru's life is thrown upside down when he runs into his aspiring singer girlfriend Saya (Atsuko Maeda; Tamako in Moratorium, SFF 2014), sleeping her way to a record deal, and his younger sister shooting a porno. Korean 'delivery girl' Mena juggles life at escort agency Juicy Fruits and her relationship with boyfriend Chong-su. Tales of heartbreak and desire combine to craft a tragicomic portrait of disaffected Japanese urbanites, with a fascinating balance of graphic sex and sentimentality.

Beaded bracelets / ビーズのブレスレット

A necklace is now transformed into a bracelet
A necklace is now transformed into a bracelet
Used 3 different sized beads
I have made 3 beaded bracelets. Colourful things excite me and I love them all! 

THE 1ST BRACELET
This used to be a necklace, which I bought in Koenji district in Tokyo long time ago. It was beautiful necklace and I loved it, but I love wearing colourful scarves around my neck all the time so that I decided to transform it into a bracelet.  

THE 2ND BRACELET
This used to be a handmade necklace I've made long time ago. Again, I decided to transform it into a bracelet. 

THE 3RD BRACELET   
I used 3 different sized beads for making this. They are cute, like soap bubbles! As this bracelet gives nice volume, it looks nice to wear together with the 1st bracelet. I actually found these beads at Daiso shop! 


ビーズのブレスレットを3つ作りました。カラフルな物を見るとワクワクしちゃいます。どれも気に入ってます。

1番目のブレスレット
もともと、これは昔、東京の高円寺で買ったネックレスでした。ガラスのカラフルなビーズが綺麗で大好きだったけど、普段首にスカーフを巻いてる事が多いからあまり使う機会が無くて。ビビりながらもネックレスをほどいて、「ええいっ」と気合でブレスレットにしちゃいました。

2番目のブレスレット
これは、昔、自分で作ったネックレス。ガラスのビーズのグラデーションが綺麗で気に入ってたけど、ネックレスをほとんどしないので、これもほどいてブレスレットに。

3番目のブレスレット
これは3種類の大きさのビーズを使って手作り。シャボン玉みたいで可愛い!1番目のブレスレットと重ね付けするとボリュームが出てめちゃ可愛い。実はこのビーズ、ダイソーで買った!

[FINAL PRESENTATION] 3rd submission of Project 2-- Office fit out at the Andrew Boy Charlton swimming pool 

I had submitted my first design, but it didn't pass...  
You can see my first one here: 
This is going to be my third submission. I went through so much tears and frustration for this design process... I hope my teacher like this third one!! (fingers crossed!)  
[On 2/June/2015, I showed this to my teachers. They said, "This is what we wanted!". I was so relieved to hear this.]


最初のデザインは「駄目、やり直し」と言われました(涙)・・・!!!!
最初のデザインはここで見れます:
今回のは3度目のやり直し。このデザインのプロセスは涙とフラストレーション無しには語れません・・・この3度目のは先生からOKがもらえますように・・・
[2015年6月2日に先生達にこれを見せました。「これだよ、待ってたのは!」とコメントをもらいホッとしてます]
