My film ‘narita’ is a glimpse of my personal identity within Tokyo. Japan as a whole encompasses a racially homogeneous society, hence being of any ‘alien’ race is unmistakably obvious. The idea of never being fully accepted into the Japanese community because of having a darker skin tone has developed a sense of isolation, which is the theme the film orientates on. Despite living in Tokyo for many years, speaking Japanese, and being half Japanese myself, the sad truth is that my existence in this time and place has destined me to be the unspoken outcast. The title ‘narita’ refers to my constant state of mind, living in Tokyo feels like I’m stuck in an airport, in a country where I don’t belong, but without the needed destination to leave. This isn’t to say that I don’t like Tokyo, but my preference doesn’t erase the subtle rejection by my community. The film embodies movement and events which possess a sense of residency and familiarity, but at the end of the day, Japan won’t change overnight. This film is what Tokyo is for me, and the rest of the youth that are stuck in airports.
