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 (<a href="http://www.shogakukan.co.jp/takemitsu/all/05.html">http://www.shogakukan.co.jp/takemitsu/all/05.html</a>).</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The publication tries to gather many unpublished or not well noted among Japanese audiences in one collection.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><a href="http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/174128399&referer=brief_results">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/174128399&referer=brief_results</a>,</p><p>or VHS:<br><a href="http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/222789680&referer=brief_results">http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/222789680&referer=brief_results</a></p><p>Cheers,</p><div> <br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><p>Asako</p><div> <br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><div> <br class="khtml-block-placeholder"></div><p>At Thu, 24 Apr 2008 00:19:49 -0400, Angelo Masucci wrote:<br><br>> Hi, my name is Angelo Masucci and I just signed on.
