	DVDAnswers.com - Articles - Sekai no Chushin de, Ai wo Sakebu Comparison Review (Region 2)
		Isao Yukisada has structured the film tremendously well; pulling the strings at the right time to evoke sorrow when required.
		Yukisada’s version is a lot more natural and subsequently heartfelt; presenting the events as they occur and leaving the audience to react to the tender moments.
		Isao Yukisada has inevitably become a trusted filmmaker — based on the name alone, his works are certain to be amazing accomplishments.

	BERLIN 2002: Everything But the Kitchen Sink; Yukisada's Ambitious "Go" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Yukisada's biggest problem is that he generates vastly different levels of emotional intensity from scene to scene.
		A wordless, soundless scene in which Sukurai has decided to offer her virginity to Sugihara, choreographed with a knockout musical score, is supremely delicate, while the scene that follows immediately, a stagy encounter with a Japanese policeman meant to convey some serious things, is utterly slack.
		Yukisada also shows a delightful taste for the absurd, as when Sugihara's boxer father, standing in a drenching rain, suddenly belts out a song in unrecognizable Spanish, claiming that he always wanted to be Spanish when he was younger.

	Midnight Eye review: Year One in the North (Kita No Zero-nen, 2005, director: Isao YUKISADA)
		Yukisada's Year One in the North is set in the tumultuous last days of the Tokugawa shogunate and follows the exploits of a vanquished, shogunate-loyalist clan exiled to the savage northern lands of Hokkaido.
		Yukisada's film is less naïvely feudalistic, though still firmly nostalgic about the good old days.
		Yukisada's shoulders may be strong enough to carry a big-budget load, but after the flat Rock 'n' Roll Mishin (2002) and the vacant A Day on the Planet (Kyo no Dekigoto, 2003), Year One in the North shows once more that his talents aren't quite sufficient to fulfil the promise of Go.

		Sakutaro has never gotten over Aki — or the tragic fate that befell their young love — and he now journeys back to the small town where they grew up to relive his memories and regrets; the film then flashes back to 1986, as Sakutaro and Ari fall in love.
		Director Isao Yukisada originally began his career in independent cinema, which might account for the complexity and sensitivity he bestows upon such potentially formulaic material.

	PULP : : The Manga Magazine : : I WAS A TEENAGE INSECT WOMAN (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Based on my admittedly limited knowledge of Yukisada's filmmaking—he's made four features, though I've seen only this trailer and his newest film, Go—this is one director who doesn't care where he loots his material, as long as he doesn't have to do much thinking of his own.
		But my world isn't perfect, and for the time being, I'm holding Yukisada completely to blame: here, he's shrouded the divine Shibasaki in an unflattering haircut, and constantly underlights even her (soft) sex scenes with Sugihara.
		And she begins to laugh, laughing with a lunatic glee and a fire in her eyes that could burn down a dozen be-bop high schools.

	Japan Times: A new world in post-feudal times (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Isao Yukisada's "Kita no Zero-nen (Year One in the North)" is such an epic, intended first and last for a domestic audience.
		It's not that its story of settlers in early Meiji Era Hokkaido is too culture-specific; in some ways, the film is a Japanese counterpart to all those Hollywood westerns about pioneers heading west.
		Even Watanabe, so coiled and sly in "The Last Samurai," indulges in jaw-clenching and nostril-flaring, while Kagawa, the star of the Cannes-prize-winning "Devils on the Doorstep," all but twirls his mustachios as the film's villain supreme.

	Variety.com - Reviews - Crying Out Love In The Center Of The World
		Cast in epic rather than TV movie mode, helmer Isao Yukisada's "Crying Out Love in the Center of the World," a saga of death-crossed teens based on a bestselling novel, eschews disease-of-the-week pap in favor of subtly wrought operatic shifts of composition and emotion.
		Throughout, the unfolding story of Saku and Aki is stopped, restarted and mystically intertwined with the present-day rain-soaked odyssey of Sakuto and Ritsuko via the audio tapes that trigger and accompany each installment.
		Helmer Yukisada weaves a rich tapestry of recurrent themes and visual motifs, from small rituals (the way the characters gingerly handle the tapes) to the torrential Typhoon 29.

		Acting aside, you can't escape the epic story told by Isao combining many popular ideas and literature with some subtle symbolism.
		Whether you watch the move for fun, or watch the movie to think, Isao's hand plays across the screen wonderfully.
		Combined with a refreshing outlook on cinematography, Isao composites works like Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet, that's impact can be seen throughout the film.

		Director Yukisada Isao was present at the screening with one of the stars of the film, Tanaka Rena, who is gorgeous and was dressed in the hippest gear I'd seen since arriving in Hong Kong.
		Her slight speech received thunderous applause from a full house at the Hong Kong Cultural Centre auditorium – her reception was nothing short of stellar.
		Isao was more serious in describing his art, stating that he liked to focus on the inconsequential, things that people wouldn't normally even notice, and how these small things ultimately comprise the entire universe.

	Jigsaw Lounge - Go
		Sugihara feels like a square peg because of his mixed ancestry — while his mother is Japanese, his aggressive father (Tsutomu Yamazaki) is North Korean.
		Keen to train his son in the pugilistic arts, dad regularly subjects his lad to merciless beatings — scenes which Yukisada plays mostly for laughs.
		For the first hour, Go is an engagingly kinetic blend of Trainspotting and Volcano High as Sugihara’s voiceover propels us through his various problems and introduces us to his family and friends, including the swaggeringly scene-stealing Tawake (Taro Yamamoto, Kawada from Battle Royale).

		By the third act, though, when Chonan and Sai finally break through their self-protective shells, "The Hotel Venus" develops narrative momentum as the hankies comes out.
		Another ensemble drama now in the theaters is "Kyo no Dekigoto (A Day on the Planet)." The director is Isao Yukisada, whose career has soared since the commercial and critical success of "Go" (2001).
		Instead of "The Grand Hotel," however, his model seems to be "The Big Chill," Lawrence Kasdan's 1983 film about baby boomers still on the brink of adulthood a decade after leaving college.

		Aki's last tape never reached Saku before she died, and having discovered it, he and Ritsuko seek closure.
		Director Yukisada Isao brings some of his still, understated direction to Crying, and several moments are reminiscent of his earlier A Day on the Planet.
		Yukisada has handled perilous romance in the past - Go was, after all, a kind of Romeo and Juliet - but the social and political elements of those films belie his ability to handle the unabashedly sentimental material found here.

		Also, director Yukisada Isao had impressed me VERY much with one of his earlier features, GO.
		So, yes, based on the plot, this movie SHOULD reek of melodrama and manipulative tear-jerking you see all the time in Korean dramas.

		Screenplay, Yukisada, Shouichi Mashiko, based on the novel by Tomoka Shibasaki.
		Nippponese helmer Isao Yukisada, who struck emotional chords on the fest circuit with "Go" (2001), a powerful drama of Korean racial identity in Japan, fails to replicate that impact with "A Day on the Planet," an amiable but insubstantial portrayal of a collection of Japanese slackers.
		With a flashback structure that makes pic more complicated than necessary, this subdued drama with equally subdued laughs creates a comatose atmosphere with few waking moments.

		Directed by Yukisada Isao, famous for his film GO, the film is a contemporary romantic drama with tropes of older Japanese films.
		The lovers are young, pure and doomed; and the sleepy, seaside setting is light years away from the bustle of Tokyo.
		Channeling another director famous for such works, Yoshinaga Sayuri, Yukisada does an accurate and admirable job in creating a film of mass appeal to lovers both young and old.
