The daughter of actor/director Eiji Okuda and sister of actress Sakura Ando, 28-year-old Momoko Ando has a deeply international background, including a nine-year stay in Britain, as well as thorough fluency in English. In person she was also articulate, straightforward, and gracious enough to give The Japan Times twice the time her PR person had allotted.
Your film may look gay-themed, but it isn't really.
Right. This film is not about lesbian anything — it's more about finding your identity, finding who you are, who you love. I don't think it matters if who you love is male or female, it's more about how you see the person. The question is not "What is real love?" or what love is in general. It's more important to first think about who you are. Then you can love someone or be loved by somebody.
