[KineJapan] Aoi Miyazaki in Kaurismaki-Land????

[Michael Kerpan]

Not exactly JAPANESE cinema -- but sort of related and "interesting" -- I
think...

Aoi Miyazaki has been one of my favorite young actresses ever since I first
encountered her in Eureka (2000). I just happened on a collection of
commercials she did for Earth, Music and Ecology (a recycled clothing
company). The first little segment has her singing a Blue Hearts song --
but even more interesting is a sequence starting around 6:27 in where she
appears to be in Finland (and speaking Finnish) -- and the content is VERY
Kaurismaki-esque. Was he moonlighting doing commercials for Japan in
2011-2016?
