Ken Ogata Memorial show

[lilbookofwords.livejournal.com]

I was checking out some japanese blogs. And i ran a few reads on NHK show with Gackt in it.
From what i understand, NHK did a special memorial feature on actor Ken Ogata to commerate his death.
名優・緒形拳さん逝く broadcasted on TV 10/10/1008.
They presented the achievements of the great actor and also have friends/family talk and share about times with him and how he touched the hearts of people around him. Something like that.

Gackt-sama was in it too. Gackt and Mr. Ogata has a closed relationship while working on the series Furrin Kazan. he has mentioned Mr. Ken Ogata was like a father figure to him before. Someone who he greatly respected and wanted to win praise. And he cried while talking about Mr. Ken Ogata with visible tears were flowing down his cheeks. (ノ_・、)

I remember Ken Ogata speaking very fondly of Gackt. With all smiles and all.
And he cried when he wrapped up the final sence for his role of Furrin Kazan. I think it was "Amakakeru Ryu no Gotoku"?
I'm sure they are really close. And Gackt's greatly affected. If not he would not cry on TV.
I'm asking if anyone is able to get a hands on media file for the memorial show. I would very much appericated it.

Now, unfortunately, the entire thing is 45 minutes long and you can't watch it directly on the site. Nor can you watch Gackt's part since it's deeper into the episode. BUT if you download the Veoh Web Player, you can watch it off of that, full quality and everything. It is free to download. If you need any additional codecs it will prompt you accordingly. I personally really like the Veoh player, though it can be a bit cumbersome, but that's just me.

I have no translations and there are no subtitles. I wish I had a normal fileversion of this - I'm not sure if it is possible to edit Veoh movie files, if so I'll see what I can do sub-wise if I get a translation, for now though there is the video.

I wasn't able to watch all of it because I am swamped with classes (and I don't understand most anything...), BUT.... Gackt's portion is at 30:25. It's short, and at the end of a sequence where they interview other actors and actresses who have worked with Ogata Ken.

I'm a little embarrassed to have only skipped to where Gackt speaks... but of course I will watch the rest. If anyone manages to translate any of it, that'd be great, and I'll see what I can do about subs (one speaker, only about two minutes is easily manageable!), provided I can get the video into an editable format.

Beginnings are always sudden
I fell in love with you on the street corner
You just...smiled
And looked at me curiously
