Yuki Yamada appears at the premium night event for the film "Beethoven Fabrication"

Actor Yuki Yamada attended the red carpet and premium night event for his starring movie "Beethoven Fabrication" (directed by Seki Kazuaki, scheduled for release on September 12th) held in Tokyo on August 20th. When asked about a "past failure episode that you would like to fabricate" in reference to the movie's title, Yamada confessed, "I tend to forget a lot of things."

Yamada commented, "For example, I don't even remember my local friends from high school saying to me, 'Yama-chan, this happened, didn't it?' But of course I remember my friends."

She also said, "If I tell the chiropractor, 'Please make an appointment for this date at this time,' and then there's a gap in the date because I have to do photo shoots every day, there's a good chance I'll forget. 'Oh, it was today.' I often find myself thinking, 'I haven't messaged that person back yet,' or leaving the message as is, thinking I'll reply later, but then never replying."

When advised, "Why not just put a reminder on your smartphone?", Yamada replied, "Oh, I see...", which made the audience laugh. However, he added with a wry smile, "Is it really necessary to go to such lengths? If you spend your days thinking, 'It's okay,' you'll end up forgetting a lot of things."

The event was also attended by Arata Furuta, Shota Sometani, Fuju Kamio, Oshiro Maeda, Yukiyoshi Ozawa, Shinya Kote, Toru Nomaguchi, and director Kazuaki Seki.

The film is a live-action adaptation of Shiho Kagehara's historical non-fiction book "Beethoven Fabrication: A Great Producer Lies" (Kawade Bunko). Bakarhythm wrote the screenplay, focusing on the scandal surrounding the discovery that Schindler, Beethoven's secretary and posthumous biography author, significantly altered Beethoven's phrasebook after he lost his hearing. Yamada stars as Schindler, the faithful secretary whose mission is to protect his idol, played by Furuta, as he struggles to transform Beethoven's image from a "vulgar, filthy old man" (truth) into a "divine, genius musician" (lie) after his death.
