Knowledge: Alan Smithee
Do you know a film director named Alan Smithee?
His name in the credits for about 40 films.
However, Alan Smithee does not exist.
Alan Smithee is a pseudonym used by film directors
who wish to disown a project due to various conflicts with the studio.
Dennis Hopper and David Lynch have used this name in the past.
Q. As an editor, have you had any conflicts with writers?
I have never had any conflicts.

People either took it home or picked it up and read it.
No one knew who that was.
It turned out later to be the owner of the place.
There are also mysterious Ukiyoe artists such as Sharaku.
Who was either Juzaburo Tsutaya or someone else; I’m not sure…
But when Tsutaya was fighting with society,
some publications were banned.
I’m not sure if Tsutaya was responsible
or someone was trying to be Robin Hood.
From that to Miku (synthesized singing voice),
I feel strongly that it’s important to have things that
do what we can’t do, and then disappear.
