We discussed Japan, media, his films and Morohoshi-san – Where are you from? – I’m a New Zealand passport holder living in Japan, but spent half my life raised between New Zealand and Australia, I bounce between being a Kiwi or Aussie depending on the crowd I’m with and current world events involving both my home countries haha. – What are you working on at the moment?
