This year, I was asked about Toshio Yamazaki, and when I did a Google search, nothing came up. This is not good. Toshio Yamazaki has the same last name as me, but in the mid-1980s I was called "good Yamazaki" and Toshio was called "bad Yamazaki.” He suffered from schizophrenia, which caused him to become paranoid and often made aggressive phone calls. As a result, no one contacted him and he eventually died alone, but it took a long time to find him. So the manager of his apartment disposed of everything in his room and now most of his works are no longer in the world. Fortunately, this work, which was also screened at PFF, was saved on a 3/4-inch videotape from that time, and a memorial screening was held of a film that was dubbed onto DV. I will upload this material to YouTube with English subtitles. The original was supposed to be in color, but the color signal could not be restored, so it is in black and white, but black and white may be a better fit for this work. -Mikio Yamazaki
