The translation:
The newest movie from the director of The Sixth Sense and Unbreakable, Signs, was introduced by main actor Joaquin Phoenix, who had come to Japan. Before the all-night premiere showing of Signs in the biggest movie theatre in Japan came Joaquin's greeting. He stood in front of the screen. I heard about Joaquin in (((some movie name in Japanese ))) and after seeing Gladiator, I thought that he was a good actor. I had wondered, what the real Joaquin would be like, but my imagination had been so different that I was surprised. It was like, "Is this really a Hollywood actor that was nominated for an Oscar?" Before Joaquin came to the stage, the announcer explained "His a very shy person". But I found him more than very shy, it was the first time I met a Hollywood star who stared at the floor and seemed very nervous and uneasy. It made me worry, if he had won the Oscar, would he have been able to make the speech?
Appearing in front of the screen, Joaquin first said, "This is how I really feel". Then he made his speech in Japanese (reading it from a piece paper). "I'm happy that I could come to Japan. Please enjoy the movie. How is Tama-chan?" Tama-chan? Everyone in the theatre laughed. From who did he hear about Tama-chan? (He looked very pleased, when everyone laughed) Suddenly he said "May I do rap?" and immediately after that he said "It was a joke" and looked down, uneasily. Although being shy, Joaquin making a joke and looking very pleased when succeeding was very cute. I'd not though that he would be a man described as cute, but after meeting him, I think he really is a shy and a cute person.
The Japanese woman in the pictures with Joaquin is a Japanese idol. On her chest there was written Signs in katakana-marks. When asked, what do you think about the writing, Joaquin looked at the writing for a very long time, as if not knowing what to answer, and said "It's written well" Then he looked at the floor yet again.
I'm not satisfied with the event. This is because no questions about the movie was presented to Joaquin. Coming on the stage, Joaquin said his greeting immediately. Then right after that, came the idol woman, who said things like "I've seen Signs twice" and "My make-upper wrote Signs to my chest" then it was all over. I don't care about such things. Now that Joaquin finally was here, why couldn't they speak about the movie, about which parts of the movie are best or what kind of a person is Mel Gibson or Shyamalan? There should have been lots of things to ask. And we could here Joaquin's voice through the microphone only at the beginning and right after the shooting with the idol woman, the announcer said "The special guest, Joaquin Phoenix-san" and the event was about to end. At that point, Joaquin asked the interpreter to say thank you for all the people who had come there. Shouldn't the announcer and the idol thought more about the star who had come all the way from America?
About the movie, it was better than Unbreakable and worse than The Sixth Sense.
