Let’s consider this topic as the beginning of a puzzle.
Everything below may seem unrelated to Kim Hyun Joong, but we’ll see in a few weeks if the pieces of the puzzle fit together.
Blame it on our curiosity…
If we got it all wrong, at worst it will have allowed us to learn something new about certain major players in the Japanese and Korean entertainment industry that we didn’t know.
Because that’s what we want to talk about: people who matter in the world, for us very curious, of film production.
🔹 YUKI TANAKA (JP)
Which one? This name seems very common in Japan…
1/ Yuki Tanaka, famous screenwriter and author of Japanese comics? (Tokyo Shinobi Squad)
2/ Yuki Tanaka responsible for Audiovisual Buyer of the company Uplink Co (JP)
Company specialized in the production and distribution of all feature film rights.
3/ Yuki Tanaka, historian and writer who let know the world an almost taboo subject when he released a work in 2001 entitled: Japan’s Comfort Women
The poignant and dramatic story of Korean “comfort women” who were forced to prostituted to serve the Imperial Japanese Army, mostly living as sex slaves.
We would have liked one of the pieces of our puzzle to be this one…
🔹 MATSUOKA TATSUYA (JP)

👉 LINK/LIEN
Newer movie:👉Detective of Jyoshidaikoji (2023)

Company that connects the world with content”
🔹 NAGOYA TV (JP)

What can all these beautiful people have (or not have) in common?
We can’t wait to find out, but we still need a little patience.
The correct parts of the puzzle will soon be assembled, and we will soon see the full picture.
Have a nice Week 💚
