We have received comments from Hazama Michio who in charge of the planning, script, and acting: “If Chaplin is still alive this year, he would be 131 years old. He produced and released his first silent movie at the age of 25 and despite being a short movie, he was able to produce 35 movies in one year. The speed is at 3 movies per month. His passion and talents which cause all of his works to become famous had overwhelmed the world. I can’t only describe him as a genius. When the work from this great person become from silent to non-silent with the voice of the popular voice actor/ voice actress, it will be “watchable” and “listenable” works!”.
