Shuichi Okita, with a very personal style, delicate but assertive at the same time, has been able to make himself known and appreciated in the circuits of festivals and in less mainstream circles with films that are difficult to label, often defined as “dramedy” that is a mixture of drama and comedy. Like in “The Woodsman and The Rain”, “The Chef of South Polar” and “Mori: The Artist’s Habitat”, the backdrop of “The Mohican Comes Home” is also a small community on an imaginary island in the Soto Inland Sea, off the coast of Hiroshima, where Okita places one of his typical characters, always dazed and looking out of place.

NEW YORK -- Music major EMI Group Plc. might not have sealed the big buyout deal, but it unveiled a smaller deal Thursday to streamline its operations in Japan by taking full control of a Joint Venture with Toshiba Corp.
Japan's is the world's second-largest music market.
The news of the transaction comes at the end of a year that saw a continued trend of media and entertainment companies clarifying their asset portfolios and either buying full control of or selling their stakes in jointly held businesses.
The company said it entered an unconditional agreement with Toshiba to buy out that firm's 45% stake in their Toshiba-EMI Ltd. venture for ¥21 billion ($178.2 million).
The transaction is expected to be completed by second-quarter 2007. Toshiba can exercise an early completion option, EMI said.
Toshiba-EMI's artist roster includes such local stars as Glay, Kyosuke Himuro, Tomoyasu Hotei, Yumi Matsutoya, Sheena Ringo, Utada Hikaru and Eikichi Yazawa.
For the year ending March 31, the company reported revenue of ¥46.6 billion ($396.5 million).
