Herb and Dorothy Talk Through Skype at Aoyama Gakuin University

Happy Valentine's Day everyone!


The movie "Herb & Dorothy" has become a big hit in Japan.
Just by coincidence, I saw this wonderful movie on November 22 last year.

November 22 in Japan is known by some as "Good Married Couple Day" -
because the numbers 1122 can be pronunced "Ii fufu (a good married couple).


On this day, Herb and Dorothy participated in an interactive LIVE talk show held at Aoyama Gakuin University located near the movie theater. Through a skype connection, the couple talked about their encounter with director Megumi Sasaki (who served as the MC/interpreter of the show), how the movie became a reality, art, AND their ideas on "a good married couple" etc.

(They appear in the video around 9 minutes 22 seconds.)


With a special appearance by their cat Archie!

Hi Flowerbossa!
What a very interesting couple..It's amazing how they both shared the same passion. I'd like to see more of what they have collected though. It's fascinating.
Hope you have a lovely day.
