"Ghost in the Shell" can absorb various things, interview with Mr. Kazuya Yellowase of the Ghost in the Sheriff 's Movie version and director & screenwriter Okata Ko

Re-edited the entire 4 episodes of the "Ghost in the Shell ___ ARISE" released in theaters between 2013 and 2014 to the previous and next versions, respectively, and added a new episodeGhost in the Shell ARISE ALTERNATIVE ARCHITECTURE"Was broadcasted from April 2015, will be the latest series"Ghost in the Shell New Theatrical Version"Will be released on Saturday, June 20th. In this series, in the story before the movie "GHOST IN THE SHELL / Ghost in the Shell" and the TV series "Ghost in the Shell STAND ALONE COMPLEX", the hero Kusanagi element directly reports to Public Security Section 9 It depicts the activity before belonging to the unit "Ghost in the shell".

This time I have heard various stories from Mr. Kazuya Kellow who is the director of the ARISE series & New Theater version and Okata Den who was in charge of the series composition / screenplay.

GIGAZINE (hereinafter, G):
First of all I would like to ask Mr. Kise. Mr. Kise is doing a job with the title "total director" with "total" at the head of "director" at the "Ghost in the Shell New Theatrical Version", but since it is a specific job Will you.

Kazuya Kurosawa General Director (Yellow):
It is a feeling that people are drawing "This is no good.This is a mal".


G:
It is easy to understand, is not it?

yellow:
To everything that everyone has drawn with difficulty, "This is OK, this is no good". However, the number is huge.

All together
(Lol)

yellow:
I really do not think without saying, "This is useless, I will not do that" or "I like this good", so "I do not understand the standards", "Why was that good and it is not good Why is this good?" .


G:
In your own judgment it is judged with some standards.

yellow:
When I am "funny" or something that is caught, I will roughly mark it. When it caught in a different meaning, I wonder what is being caught up and say, "Oh, this is not this," and say "just fix it". So there is no reason and it is almost like a physiological phenomenon.

G:
Oh ... ... how will you explain when you are asked "Why is not this useless?"

yellow:
I say the phrase "to be fun because it is not fun personally". It is the highest hurd order (laugh). The cause may be tempo. Regarding the part of "Why is there a place where the picture is connected" or "Why does not it take a while"? I ask the person who draws "Why?" Then, even those who are drawing also worry "I wonder why", "Let's change, if you worry, I will change it."

G:
I see. If there is an explanation from the drawing person saying, "There is such a reason and this is the tempo here," If you have an explanation, "I see," I agree with "I see," and it will become a mal, "and no, it's useless at that tempo" Or, and.

yellow:
It is such feeling. As this is said, it is irresistible (laugh). So, thinking about how to loosen a person nervous in front of you, I am doing something out.

G:
Where is Mr. Kose's "good at" part making animation?

yellow:
When you become good at it, I think that my job as an animator, which has been continuing all the time, is probably best at all. To be able to keep it is because I like it. Since the head to use is completely different, the supervision industry takes a little time to switch.


G:
I see. Is there anything that you are good at grasping by yourself, like a concrete technique, saying "You can do this!" In the fee section of the resume, for example.

yellow:
No ... - How is it? Even now I still draw a picture while I do the general manager, but I have not been convinced of my painting forever. I think that it is because we can not draw satisfying things, because we can continue. But when I say such a thing, I will eat total scum from around (laugh). "What are you talking about?" However, I think that work is stopped if I am satisfied, I think that I can keep going because I am not satisfied.

G:
While looking at 100 points, while looking back, it seems like there are a lot of parts saying "There was a little more over there?"

yellow:
Well, I still can not do that. Because I do not like paintings drawn 1 hour ago and it is obvious.

All together
(Lol)

G:
I see. If a person carrying the title of general director is doing so strictly to himself, the person who is chasing from below seems to think that "Oh, what you are doing is more useless."

yellow:
No, it seems more.

All together
(Lol)

yellow:
"I'm suffering even with this career, you guys do not write it easily!" Says something like that. As I say, "I am not good at it," everyone looks chilly.


All together
(Lol)

G:
It is terribly strict for himself.

yellow:
If you are not doing your work, it is very sweet for people. However, when I work together, I'm doing my anger with "Why should I quit you!" Or "Why do I have to work with such a person!" "Why can not I draw!"

All together
(Lol)

G:
Next, I'd like to talk to Ms. Okata, but it is a little unrelated question before entering the story of "Ghost in the Shell". Have you read or looked at what kind of sci-fi works have you seen so far?

Okata (Okinawa) (Okinawa):
First Impact is not a movie ... When I was abroad, Hollywood work and Japanese anime work started to circulate in the world. As a Hollywood work, I watched "2001 Space Trip", "Alien", "The Fly" and so on. If it is Japanese work "AKIRA" or "Nausicaa of the Valley of the Wind" was on the English newspaper. I told the acquaintance of the Americans who got the video "I do not know what you are saying in Japanese, please translate".


G:
Method

Oki
Nonetheless, I also do not understand what you are saying by looking at "AKIRA" (laugh) ... is that the start? The visual impact was ahead. When it is said that it is SF work, it is the work of Masamune Shiro such as the manga version "Ghost in the Shell", and so was the novel, there were many translations by Hayakawa series books. In overseas SF work, I was reading knobs of series items and so on.

G:
Is it such a feeling that they have been touched across this as well?

Oki
Whether this generation is unique, the media are all parallel. It's a movie, a cartoon, or a novel. When the debut at the age of 18, "GHOST IN THE SHELL / GHOST IN THE SHELL" was made into a movie, then it was time to say "Do not write because SF can not be sold", open the wind hole of that I got a lot of courage.

G:
It was that kind of era.

Oki
Because it was told that it is impossible to sell when writing SF as a book band. At that time the work of De SF appeared and it was sold, so I was very happy.

G:
When Okata writes a sentence, is the content floating in the head as an image?

Oki
Although there are things which do not understand if it does to video, it is firstly space grasp. Now that readers are often visually understanding, according to the language of the reader, the visual elements inevitably become very important. On the contrary, when presenting a visual like a novel that nobody really saw, no one seems to understand .... When I wrote a long time ago, I heard that "Why do you need to fly a shootout while jumping?" But, after the "Matrix" was released nobody said that, but rather "I can fly more" (laugh). Novels will be influenced by existing video works.


G:
It will become possible for the reader to imagine like "This image of this feeling is this sentence".

Oki
By "Lord of the Rings" being released, everyone got to imagine a wonderful "corps" just by writing "corps". Thanks to you, I am very saved (haha)

G:
When you are grasping the space, is there sound in the head?

Oki
It is so when we need to communicate objectively. However, something that can not be told to the customers got inadvertently caught out and it says, "This is pretty good but I will tell you how to tell" There is something in trouble.

G:
Mr. Okata is written as "Baita, Earth", "Mardock" series, "Spiegel" series, and even "era of heaven and earth" of the era novel, how is the information input done? Whether you are gathering materials at a stretch from "Writing such works" when the idea of ​​the next work is settled, or are you collecting and loading from the usual way ... ....

Oki
I am going to do it on a regular basis from the usual time, but I can not make it in the end after all, and read like a mountain all night just before the deadline.


G:
It is said that while doing it a little, the missing part is done together at a stretch.

Oki
Reading materials is also a job, so when boil down it really gets downright ... .... There are infinite documents of "Ghost in the Shell" (laugh). When I start to investigate the materials of technology, I feel like it is impossible! Since scientific journals are like mountains, it is how far we input and where we draw and cut. Because I can not explain it because I examined the specification of the optical terminal in detail.

G:
After investigating it, "Are you going to not be too detailed as far as it is too far?"

Oki
It would be good if you insert "if inserted" (laugh)


G:
I am doing a profession as a writer, is the input of information a tough task, or is it one of everyday life?

Oki
It's routine work routinely, so it's a problem. After all, I have to impress myself a little more. Even if you look at anything, there is myself absorbing just knowledge only, "Hey, wait a minute, if I do not get a little excited, I do not want to work" is the hardest thing right now.


G:
I see, thank you. So, from here we will listen to you together. When "border: 4" of the "Ghost in the Shell ___ ARISE" is released to theaters"Ghost in the Shell New Theatrical Version" is released in early summer 2015It was announced that, in March 2015The release date of "Ghost in the Shell New Theatrical Version" is June 20 (Saturday)Although it became obvious, when was the time when the two people learned to make 'New Theatrical Version'?

yellow:
Well, really, there were a lot of things that I have not heard this time. It was this when I said "do it" because I was told that "first coach" and I was told what I was going to do "I will teach the title if I say" do ". So, if you listen to the title of the work at first, you have not done it absolutely, I have not sit here right now (lol)

G:
In another interview I read that he was "Director General of Cinematographer, I was General Director instead of Drawing," I answered.

yellow:
That's right. I thought while watching our president, "How much will this person hit?"

G:
However, at ARISE production presentation president Ishikawa president Mr. Kise "Because I.G's final weaponAlthough I was saying that.

yellow:
I said, "Do not say the last weapon." We are no longer in weapons for the company! What would you do if you were attacked! (Laugh)

Oki
I used the final weapon! (Lol)

yellow:
It is not the final weapon, please make it the latest weapon, (laugh)

Oki
indeed!

G:
From April, we added a new episode leading to the new movie version "Ghost in the Shell ARISE ALTERNATIVE ARCHITECTURE"Is being broadcasted. The story broadcasting order is different from ARISE 's theatrical release time, I heard that Okata - san was in the order that he was originally thinking.

Oki
In order to make it a bridge with the old series, and to make a new "Ghost in the Shell", anyway I needed the criteria for saying "The series will come back", so I first made a screenplay of the part of border: 4 It was completed at the beginning. The order at the time of release is border: 1 → 2 → 3 → 4, but this is a configuration in which quiet talk and action talking moving talks are just nested, such as static → dynamic → static → dynamic It is getting. In the case of the TV series, since the story of the action item sticks as an episode following the new theater version behind this, moving (4) → static (1) → movement (2) by bringing border: 4 to the beginning There is a memory that I talked that it is beautiful if it is static (3). There are parts that I do not remember since I worked in various ways in this area, but mostly it is such a feeling.


G:
Indeed, I got convinced after hearing about moving and static. Originally I wanted to start from border: 4, but because of various circumstances it was not supposed to be from border: 1.

Oki
I do not have any particular dissatisfaction as I think that it is necessary to make a decision as to whether the customer will enter from where I am going, and I think rather than being a suspender, I think that it became easy for even unknown people to enter easily thanks to starting with a suspense. I like the beginning as I was able to explain who this person is, what I am doing now ......

G:
Border: 4 → 1 → 2 → 3 → If it was a composition of the new theater version, there was a sense that it was splendidly connected as one piece of work when connecting the scenes together, originally published as border: 4 Were you planning to put out something first? With what I thought.

Oki
As a series of omnibus this time, even if we change the order a little, it is not going to collapse, so we tried to look from anywhere. There are rough hints and the next character comes out, but as the director is different in each story, even if you see it in pieces, through screening it will be a screenplay that will be both enjoyable It is.

G:
Did you have any difficulties for the two people in the new movie version this time?

Oki
I had a hard time with everything (laugh)

yellow:
You had a hard time. In my case, all the troublesome things were left to director Kazuya Nomura (laugh)

Oki
The most difficult thing is to do Nomura's theme "Youth and graduation" with "Ghost in the Shell". "This is a huge hurd that followed Mr. Yellowse's" Love Story "came ...."

G:
But that means "You must do something".

Oki
The "Ghost in the Shell" is designed to absorb a variety of things, but, "How shall I do ...?" Since what I have to do is a bunch of fish and I have to get it done, "How shall I graduate?" "What is youth?" That was the most annoying thing. However, I think that Kusanagi's element is straight, thinking that it is geeky feeling or disagreement on completing team work, and that I should draw it as one immature, and as a result, "ease of drawing elements It was a feeling that the width of the word has expanded. I thought that it was fresher with Togusa, elements that were silent and silent. Although I had a hard time, it was the most interesting.


G:
It was not a "major invincible Major" of the traditional series, but a side which felt that "the element is still young" was quite well.

Oki
After a hard work, I feel good after writing. I feel like "I was glad to be in time" or "I became study".


G:
Did Mr. Kise not have suffered from actual work?

yellow:
There is no time.

G:
I see. (Laugh)

yellow:
It is there that is painful ... Anyway, time runs out. Actual work itself is enjoying and I am also suffering, but that is good. But there was nothing I could do physically, just that there was no time, and that tenacity was not hesitant. "It will not make it anymore! It will fall again!" That was quite stressful.

Oki
It is hard to be chased by time ....

yellow:
"I can not get the DVD out soon if I can finish here" and "I know"! "It is impossible for the factory to work", "Let's delay it!" It can not be said.

Oki
This was also very tight. Even when I was doing it in a series .... But, as I thought, "Why still have plenty of room to spare" now, the work I did before this was more tight.

yellow:
I can not compare it with that (lol)

Oki
I got over it, I am feeling tense, but I still have some room.

G:
There is a feeling that "This could be done".

Oki
There is a chance to survive if compared with that, I am still embracing the part that it will somehow work (laugh)

yellow:
But as it accumulates, fatigue will also overlap ....

Oki
Yes, it's hard to recover because it's not so young to recover.

G:
This is going to be the last question, but do try the challenge with the new movie version this time, is there anything like "Were this successful?"

Oki
Oh ...... Youth was able to write (lol)

All together
(Lol)

Oki
I was getting more interested in something "everything came" anyway, but it was surprising after all. It was a great harvest that I realized that the essence of a ghost whisper of an element was "intuition". It is not logically played out, it was not easy to write a very primitive sense of justice, so it was fun.

G:
Well, how about Mr. Kise?

yellow:
Currently it is undergoing challenge (laugh)

G:
Are you challenging? (Laugh)

Oki
It is a future prediction diagram that it will be like this when it is released (lol)

yellow:
Surely it is good to have many visitors coming in time ... It is becoming a desire! This is not a challenge but I believe it has come. However, all through the series, challenging from the series, everyone will come forward looking forward to the "Ghost in the Shell", so it was from the beginning that "I will destroy it" from the beginning. I was worried about acceptance, but I was really relieved because there were many people who accepted only on the first day, the 2nd day, even the first day when I went to the stage greetings.


G:
I think whether there is a last resort still tomorrow ... ....

yellow:
There are challenge dregs left.

G:
I am looking forward to the completion! Thank you for today.

Currently, a new TV series of the shell shell "Ghost in the Shell ARISE ALTERNATIVE ARCHITECTURE" is on the air on TV. "Ghost in the Shell New Theatrical Version" is released on Saturday 20th June.
