"I once saw an American documentary that followed a family visiting one of their members in prison, once every year, taking their group family photograph all together. If it were in Japan, the mood of it would have been something like, “this little community that caused a problem shouldn’t be forgiven,” I suppose. A village-based society would cut off a family like that. But in America it’s the opposite. Like, “No matter what everyone else says, our community is important.” I thought that was really interesting. I wonder if Japan will become like that soon eventually too. I don’t think the day is that far off where everyone will be asking, “What’s the most important community to me?” And something like romantic love may cease to be portrayed as a dramatic detail at the center of life. In the nineties there were a lot of stories with “Here I am!” as their theme, but I’ve had enough of those. Right now I’d rather try a story that reaffirms that sense of community."
