Last Saturday I went to buy Letters From Iwo Jima cd which I wanted to watch since months ago when I found out about this movie (yes I was too late since it was a 2006 movie T_T) and luckily I found it! It was the only one left on the shelve O_o

Omedetou! Your first post at LJ ne?

Ano sa I think Nino-kun outdid himself in Iwo Jima! I saw it twice when it came out as I liked it alot (at that time I didnt know he was from Arashi) Director Clint Eastwood even singled him out for praise, which was something special for Nino-kun I think. ^^

I read he was living in a Californian hotel for 2 months because of this shoot and had to be absent from many Arashi activities back in 2006. (Many Arashi performances had only 4 members).

1. I think it was left quite open...but the impression I got was that no one survived...

2. The letters belonged to the soldiers who served at Iwo Jima at that time, and not just Saigo's, although he wrote the majority of them. (if memory serves me right)

Hehe thanks, yup my first real post in here instead of the introduction one ^^

He was really great in this movie..I'm sure the other members of Arashi (especially Ohno) would have missed him so much in that 2 months xD

Oh so that's mean Saigo died too in this movie after he got captured..
