<<Because the film was so tedious, watching the busy-ness around the prince
and his wife was the best part of the evening. Seeing him for the first time
is a shock. He's the spitting image of his cousin the Big Man. With a little
more gray hair, he could serve as kagemusha! So much of the evening revolved
around their presence, it was pretty amazing. I could be become a Tenno
Otaku, but in the anketto I suggested that the filmmakers and his fans were
looking at the screen in the same way Mayol looks at his mirror---looking at
a world with so many ways of living in the world, but only seeing
themselves. I guess I won't be invited to any more Imperial Premieres; too
bad.>>

That really is  a shame. After reading your post  I was hoping that Kinejapan 
was going to get its first official court reporter. 

I wonder what the Imperial family's top ten of Japanese cinema would be.
