The film is a remake of the 1985 film of the same name.
The late actress Masako Natsume played the part of the teacher at a small
island school in the immediate post war era, who starts a baseball team for the boys
to help them gain self esteem during the American Occupation period.
Today (September 11) is the 31st anniversary of the passing of Masako san,
at age 27, from Leukemia.
Her role was memorialized
in a Japan Post stamp series
honoring famous films and
performances:
The original film was called MacArthurs Children for
Foreign release
It must be a great honor for Emi san
to play the same role as Masako san!
