Description
Japanese director, humourist and writer Takeshi Kitano speaks to journalists at the Foreign Correspondents' Club in Tokyo ahead of the release of his latest film 'Kubi' in Japan on November 23. Kitano also spoke about the sex abuse scandal linked with the late founder of top Japanese boyband agency "Johnny & Associates."
