Kelly McNeely: No laila he aha ka genesis o Aloha Mua? No hea mai kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni?

ʻO Takashi Miike: No laila ua hoʻomaka kēia a pau mai kahi noi e hana i ke ʻano o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni i hāʻawi ʻia i ka wā pōkole i ka ʻoihana Kepani. I ka wā ma mua loa, e paʻi kiʻi ana mākou i kēia ʻano ʻano ʻoniʻoni ʻano ʻoniʻoni no ke kuhikuhi pololei i nā papahana wikiō. A loaʻa iaʻu kahi noi mai Toei Films e hoʻihoʻi i kēlā ʻano mea, like me ka, ka Make a Alive paha, kēlā ʻano ke ʻano B-cinema o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

Ua hauʻoli loa wau e pili ana i kēlā, no ka mea, i kēia mau lā, ʻo ka hapa nui o ka ʻoihana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ke kolohe loa i kēlā me kēia ʻano ʻano ʻano ʻoniʻoni ʻoniʻoni. Kūpono nui lākou i ka hōʻino, a ke hoʻāʻo nei lākou e hele no kēia mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻoihana āpau. A no laila ke loaʻa iaʻu kēia noi, manaʻo wau, Auē, maikaʻi kēlā. ʻO wau e ʻōlelo nei, ʻaʻole wau e manaʻo e kiʻi i kekahi noi e like me kēia mai kahi ʻoihana hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni nui. A no laila noʻonoʻo wau, pono, hana wau i kēia i kēlā manawa. No laila e hana ka manaʻo ma luna ona ma muli o kahi manaʻo kumu - kahi palapala kumu. A no laila ua hoʻomaka wau e hana me ka mea kākau moʻolelo, a ʻo ia ke ʻano o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni.

Kelly McNeely: I kēia manawa, maopopo leʻa he ʻoihana hana nui ʻoe, a ua hana ʻoe i nā ʻano kiʻi ʻoniʻoni he nui loa; ke ʻano o ka ʻano, ka hana, ke hoʻomākeʻaka, nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni o ka ʻohana, nā hana keaka manawa… Aia paha kekahi ʻano āu e hauʻoli ai e hana i ka hapanui?

ʻO Takashi Miike: ʻĀ, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole wau i ʻike i nā ʻano, a me nā palena palena o ke ʻano, i kēlā me kēia. He ʻāpana kau kāu, ʻeā? He kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Yakuza ʻoe, he kiʻi ʻoniʻoni keiki kāu, a aia kekahi ʻano e like me kēia ʻano hoʻokaʻina koʻikoʻi e hana nei i kēia mau ʻano āpau i kēia mau lā. Akā ʻaʻole ia ma kēlā ʻano. A ke ʻike mau nei wau i nā mea ma o kēlā kānana mua, pololei, kahi e hiki ai ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ʻo Yakuza, akā he comedy ia, ʻeā? A i ʻole he hōʻike kamaliʻi paha ia a he pōpilikia paha, hiki iā ʻoe ma kahi hoʻolewa a haʻi kekahi i kekahi mea, a ʻakaʻaka ka poʻe a pau. Noʻu nei, ua huikau nā mea āpau.

Akā he aha noʻu ka mea nui loa kēia mau kumuhana ākea āpau e hoʻopaʻa iā mākou. E like me kaʻu e hele nei, he aha ke kumu o koʻu ola, he aha ka make? Iā wau, he aha ka hauʻoli? Hiki iaʻu ke hauʻoli? Pehea e hiki ai iaʻu ke lilo i hauʻoli a hauʻoli a hauʻoli paha? ʻO kēia mau kumuhana āpau iaʻu, ʻo ia nā nati a me nā hoʻopaʻa i hele i loko o nā ʻano kiʻi ʻoniʻoni maikaʻi, a like kēlā mau mea iaʻu no ka mea hea ka ʻano a mākou e kamaʻilio nei. A no laila - noʻu - hoʻonui loa ʻia kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni maikaʻi a i ʻole paʻa ʻole ʻia e nā palena o ke ʻano.

Kelly McNeely: Aloha Mua he leʻaleʻa komedi maikaʻi loa - he mea hoʻomākeʻaka - a me nā hana he nui loa. A aia kahi kaʻina ʻoniʻoni. No hea mai kēlā kaʻina anime, ka manaʻo e lawe i kēlā i loko?

ʻO Takashi Miike: He mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni kaʻu i ka wā i hala aku nei i hoʻololi koke ʻia mai ka hana ola ʻana i ka anime, a i ʻole mai ka hana ola ʻana i ka hana lepo. A no laila ke hana nei mākou me nā kaohi o ka moʻohelu kālā, ke hana nei mākou me nā kaohi manawa, a ʻo ia pū kekahi, ke kumu kanaka. A i kekahi manawa e kūʻē mākou i kēia mau pilikia e kumu i kekahi mau pilikia i ka hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. He paʻakikī loa e hana i kēia ma muli o kēia mau kaohi āpau.

Akā i ka manawa like, ke nānā nei mākou i ka palapala, a loaʻa iā mākou kēia mau manaʻo i ka palapala e makemake mākou e lawe - makemake mākou e hōʻike i kēlā manaʻo, a i ʻole ia hoʻolālā hoʻolālā. A no laila ke hoʻāʻo nei mākou e hana i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, a loaʻa iā mākou nā mea e like me kēlā. A no laila he ʻano kēlā ma ke kua, akā ʻo ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoi aku ka nui ma mua o kēlā, makemake maoli wau e hoʻopili hou i kahi hanana anime i kekahi o kaʻu mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni ma mua o ka hoʻomaka ʻana e hana i kēia. No laila, ʻo ia nō ke kumu. Nānā wau i ka palapala, a ʻōlelo wau, ʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻoluʻolu ke loaʻa kahi ala e hoʻohui ai i nā hiʻohiʻona anime i kēia kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, a ua loaʻa ka manawa kūpono e hana ai.

No laila, no laila, aia iā ʻoe kāu hana ola Yakuza kēlā mau ʻāpana o kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, ʻākau. A ʻo kēlā mau ʻāpana hana ola o ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni, no ka mea ke hōʻike nei lākou i ka Yakuza, aia lākou i ke ao moemoeā. Aia kēia coolness a i ʻole kēia vibe āu e makemake ai e hele i kēlā ʻano ʻano o nā hiʻohiʻona. A ma muli wale nō o kēlā ʻano maoli, aia ʻoe i loko o ka moemoeā.

A ʻo ke kumu e ʻōlelo ai wau aia ʻoe i Fantasyland ke hana nei ʻoe no ka mea ʻaʻohe ʻano ʻo Yakuza i kēia manawa ʻo Iapana, ke hōʻike nei mākou i kahi mea maoli ʻole i Iapana. No laila ʻaʻole ia he kikoʻī no mākou e hele aku mai kahi ʻano moemoeā o kahi hiʻohiʻona i kahi hanana moemoeā i hōʻike ʻia me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi ʻano ʻokoʻa. No laila, noʻu e hele aku mai kahi hana ola ʻo Yakuza ʻano ʻano kupaianaha, i kahi hiʻohiona kupanaha a wīwī loa i hoʻomohala ʻia me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā ʻano anime ʻaʻohe mea ʻoluʻolu ʻole. ʻAʻole ia he mea ʻole iaʻu. 

Kelly McNeely: Ua kamaʻilio iki ʻoe e pili ana i ka hana ʻana me nā kaohi o ka moʻohelu kālā a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e hoʻohui i nā manaʻo i hiki ʻole paha iā ʻoe ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. He aha nā ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo āu e hāʻawi ai i kahi mea hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e makemake e hoʻomaka i ke kuhikuhi ʻana?

ʻO Takashi Miike: No laila kaʻu ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo, ʻae, ʻaʻole maopopo iaʻu inā e lilo paha kaʻu ʻōlelo aʻoaʻo i mea pono, a i ʻole mahalo ʻia e kekahi. Akā ʻoiai ua koho kēlā mau alakaʻi ʻiʻini i kēlā ʻano nohona, ua koho lākou e noho i kēia ao i ka hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. ʻO kēlā mea, he mea ʻē aʻe ka hiki ke uku i nā bila a kau i ka meaʻai ma ka papa, ʻeā?

A no laila, ʻo kaʻu ʻōlelo aʻo maoli ma mua o ka nānā nui ʻana i ka lā ʻapōpō a me ka wā e hiki mai ana, e kia wale i kēia manawa, ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni āu e hana nei i kēia manawa, e kau i kou nānā i ka leʻaleʻa i kēlā hana a nalowale loa i kāu mea ' ke hana nei i kēia manawa.

I kēia manawa, e hakakā paha ʻoe me kāu mea hana. A he mau ʻaelike paha kāu ma laila. Akā inā kūleʻa ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni āu e hana nei i kēia manawa no ka mea ua hoʻokomo maoli ʻoe i nā mea āpau iā ia, a ua nalowale loa ʻoe a hauʻoli i ke kaʻina. ʻOi aku ka maikaʻi o ka kūleʻa ʻana. A inā kūleʻa ia, a laila hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻonohonoho hou i ka uaki, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻi i ka ʻole, hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻonohonoho hou i kou pilina me kāu mea hana a hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻomaka hou. No laila ʻo ia kaʻu ʻōlelo aʻo, e kau wale i ka mea āu e hana nei i kēia manawa. E kia i kāu hana ma kēia manawa ma kahi o ka hoʻāʻo ʻana e helu pono i kāu hoʻolālā e hiki mai ana no ka hana kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. E nānā wale i kēia manawa.

Kelly McNeely: Noho ikaika? 

ʻO Takashi Miike: ʻĀ, ʻōlelo wau no ka mea ʻekolu mau makahiki i hala, ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni nei mākou ma ka set a ke hana nei mākou e like me ka hoʻomaʻamaʻa - e like me ka holo ʻana, ua like ia me kahi holo hoʻāʻo no nā mea hana keaka i kēia hanana. A hikiwawe - a ʻaʻole wau e hana i kekahi mea, paʻakikī loa - akā ua haki koke koʻu wāwae hema. A no laila lilo koke ka luna ʻoniʻoni i ukana no nā poʻe ʻē aʻe e hana ana i ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni. A no laila ke ʻōlelo nei wau no ka mea pono kēlā me kēia e ʻike pono i ka lawa o ka calcium [ʻakaʻaka].

Kelly McNeely: ʻ advicelelo aʻoaʻo maikaʻi loa! I kēia manawa e kamaʻilio ana i kēlā mau ʻano ʻike, ua hana ʻoe i 100 mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a me nā papahana. Aia paha kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni a i ʻole ka ʻike o ka hana ʻana i kahi kiʻi ʻoniʻoni e kū maoli iā ʻoe i ka mea nui, e haʻaheo paha ʻoe, a i ʻoliʻoli paha ʻoe i ka mea nui, a i ʻole mea hoʻomanaʻo nui ʻole iā ʻoe?

ʻO Takashi Miike: ʻAe, ʻoiaʻiʻo. No laila ʻo kekahi o kaʻu mau kiʻi ʻoniʻoni aʻu i aloha nui ai a hauʻoli wau i ka mea nui loa ʻo ia ke kiʻi ʻoniʻoni Fudô, a aia kekahi moʻolelo ma hope o kēlā.

A ʻo ka mea maoli, ua hoʻokumu ʻia ia ma ka manga. A ʻo ka moʻo manga i hoʻokumu ʻia ma luna o ka mea i hoʻopau ʻia i ka hapalua o ke kaʻina. Akā ua ʻike wau i kahi mea hoihoi loa i ka mea hoihoi wale ia iaʻu, a manaʻo wau e hana i kēia, ʻaʻole e hoʻokuʻu ʻia kēia hana, he kuhikuhi pololei ia i ka hana wikiō mua.

Kelly McNeely: Hoʻohanohano ʻia ʻoe me kahi makana Achievement Award Life at Fantastic Fest koke loa. Pehea kēlā manaʻo?

ʻO Takashi Miike: Manaʻo wau ʻike ka poʻe i kēlā me he mea lā e loaʻa iā ʻoe e like me ka hopena o kou ola [ʻakaʻaka].
