<p>Hi Angelo,</p><p>I'm a great fun of his music myself. When I Googled, I
found an interesting 5-volume publication about Takemitsu and his art which came
out in 2002: Takemitsu Toru Zenshu from Shogakkan
(http://www.shogakukan.co.jp/takemitsu/all/05.html).</p><p>The publication tries
to gather many unpublished or not well noted among Japanese audiences in one
collection. It, for example, includes an essay by Shinoda, if you can read
Japanese. The page above includes Table of Contents and indicates that the
materials written by Donald Richie, Daniel Shmid, and Peter Grilli gathered in
the collection might be related to his movie music. Unfortunately, worldcat
does not include this publication, but you can draw some hints from the page and
search worldcat to see what might be available and accessible here. For example,
I found a collection of interviews including Takemitsu himself in this DVD
through
worldcat:</p><p>http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/174128399&referer=brief_results,</p><p>or
VHS:<br
