He died from a problem with his liver (or more precisely, hepatic insufficiency)

[MellowB]

Ah noooo... he directed such great movies as All about lily Chou Chou and Swallowtail butterfly... damn it. ;_;
Ah and btw. he was Director of production of ayu's movie Tsuki Ni shizumu... and guessing from that article there at Yomiuri he died of hepatic insufficiency... :/

He directed "Tsuki Ni Shizumu"?! Wow....I guess Ayu sang "Voyage" at his funeral then?

[Unimatrix Prime™]

I didn't know he directed that movie til now. I could see why Ayu went to the funeral

I'm going out on a whim but is this him?

[Calico]

Ah, that's so sad. ._. My condolences to Ayu, and everyone else who loved him.

[Coelacanth]

Yeah, it's a shame... My condolences...

The director of "Tsuki Ni Shizumu" is Isao Yukisada. Mr. Shinoda was the cinematographer.

[MellowB]

Yeah ok, my bad. On the Tsuki box it says D.O.P. So it was director of photography not production... but oh well.

I think Elton John performed at Princess Diana's funeral... Well, yeah but shes a princess not a cinematographer... ^^;;

Boy, would I love for Ayu to perform at my funeral... Well only if I predeceased her... x_x...

I know it's stupid of me to notice, but Ayu dressed in an all-black suite. How appropriate. (really. I'm not being sarcastic).

I'm very sorry he died.
