I'm glad I had the chance to meet Yamashita-san several times since last year. He joined me and designer Akihiko Iguchi for a small birthday dinner that Iguchi-san arranged for me in March. Yamashita-san and I rode the train after the dinner as he told me about working on Blue Christmas and Space Godzilla.
If more details become available, I will post them here.
Rest in peace, Yamashita-san.
UPDATE (9/3): Yamashita-san died of heart failure on August 16. Funeral services were held today.
Very sorry to hear of Yamashita-san's passing. I'm glad you took the opportunity to meet with him.
