>> I was just passing Okuma Kodo and noticed a grand red carpet gracing the steps, lined with flags saying "Waseda Film Festival." It turns out it's a little festival for films made by the university's film club (it runs today and tomorrow). 
>> 
>> What I thought It'd note is an event billed as Obayashi Nobuhiko's "Last Lecture" (Saigo no Kogi). At first, I thought this was some unfortunate choice by some insensitive students who have yet to face death in any meaningful way. But then I saw that the event is actually being organized by Terebi Man Union and is being recorded for broadcast on NHK BS1 next year. 
>> 
>> Unfortunately for me, it's only for students. If you're a student in the area, it starts at 10 at Okuma Kodo. But in a small hall, so get there early or try to make a reservation. 
>> 
>> I'm impressed by Obayashi's will to stay on his feet as long as possible. After seeing Hanagatami—which if anything is absolutely _youthful_—I'm not surprised at all.
