Toyokawa is attached to the 4K remaster revival of Undo, the 1994 Shunji Iwai film in which he starred. He appeared with Iwai and Tomoko Yamaguchi at the stage greeting at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku on September 26 for the 4K release.
Etsushi Toyokawa's current coverage centers on one title: Undo, the 1994 Shunji Iwai film in which he starred opposite Tomoko Yamaguchi. The film was given a 4K remaster and a theatrical revival, first reported with a start date of September 25 at TOHO Cinemas Hibiya and other venues, presented as a double feature with Iwai's PiCNiC (1996), also remastered. Iwai said the remastering work was difficult because of the 16mm footage and the experimental push and pull processing.
A stage greeting was set for September 26 at TOHO Cinemas Shinjuku with Yamaguchi, Toyokawa, and Iwai, alongside the double feature of Undo and PiCNiC. Trailers for both films and a comment video from Iwai were released at that time.
The greeting itself was held on the 26th, 32 years after the film's release. Toyokawa said Kaori Momoi introduced him to Iwai. Yamaguchi recalled asking to meet Iwai after seeing Fireworks, Should We See It from the Side or the Bottom?. Iwai said the three began talking at an izakaya in Sangenjaya. Iwai used the stage to propose another small collaboration with both actors.
Across the three stories, the remaster is the fixed point: a 1994 film returned to theaters in 4K with its two leads and its director present. The friendship among the three is the subject the stage greeting put on the record.
