- Hold My Hand is the last script that actor / playwright Masayuki Imai wrote before he passed away of cancer on May 28th, 2015. The script almost prophesied his imminent death as he had originally written it with him going to Heaven. It was his wish for his mentor Yoko Narahashi to direct this film on his behalf. They discussed the film before his passing and decided to keep the main character alive. So with the help of all those he was friends with, we entered principle photography on Sept. 25, 2015. It is actually a cameo filled film of many artists who have offered to pitch in. We intend to release it in Japan on May 28th in commemoration of his first memorial.
