Kochi, Shinozaki, Kitano

[Aaron Gerow]

Two bits of late news:

1) Kochi Momoko, the actress who starred in the first Godzilla and was a 
leader of the Haiyu-za, died last week at age 66.

2) Someone asked a few months ago what Shinozaki Makoto, director of 
_Okaeri_ is doing these days.  Well, I finally ran into him at a party 
the other day and he said he just finished the "making of" video of 
Kitano Takeshi's new film, which is apparently to be titled _Kikujiro no 
natsu_.  Kitano's film has apparently been completed and Shinozaki said 
it is quite good.
