These uncertain beginnings would instill in Hasegawa an acrimonious distrust of authority, itself ingrained within the very fiber of his every contribution to film, a sum of only two directed works: The Youth Killer and The Man Who Stole the Sun—both monumental and radical in their own right\. Perhaps one of the greatest tragedies in Japanese cinema remains that the towering “Goji”—a nickname from Hasegawa’s college football days—would never make another film\. His long gestating dream of a followup, the unrealized epic United Red Army, was rumored for decades with involvements from Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Oshima scenarist Tsutomu Tamura; Hasegawa himself would proclaim, “I can't die until I've made one more,” but it would never come to fruition\. ## Posts - [Hokkaido Highlights: Adventure Travel](https://japansociety.org/news/hokkaido-highlights-adventure-travel/): Following the success of our recent Hokkaido\-themed event in NYC, Japan Society is excited to launch Hokkaido Highlights, a new blog series exploring Japan’s northernmost island—beginning with Sapporo’s iconic Red Brick Building, a Neo\-Baroque landmark symbolizing Hokkaido’s unique blend of Japanese heritage and Western influence\. - [“I Refuse to Fail”: After six decades, legendary screen icon Meiko Kaji steps into a new era](https://japansociety.org/news/i-refuse-to-fail-after-six-decades-legendary-screen-icon-meiko-kaji-steps-into-a-new-era/): \The 79 year\-old Japanese actress and singer—famous for her starring roles in exploitation films like Lady Snowblood and the Female Prisoner \#701: Scorpion series—dials in with A Rabbit’s Foot from New York City, where Japan Society is celebrating her career with a fantastic new retrospective\. \ \\A Rabbit's Foot\, April 1, 2026\ - [Bridging Beyond Fandom, Japan Society's Evolving Role: Joshua Walker, President \& CEO Japan Society](https://japansociety.org/news/bridging-beyond-fandom-japan-societys-evolving-role-joshua-walker-president-ceo-japan-society/): \At a pivotal moment for Japan\-US ties, what role does Japan Society play in enhancing cultural understanding?
