Manga
by Tomoyoshi Ito / Shingo Morita
そして、とても悲しい話ばかりなのに、暖かな読後感が残るのは、この作品の根底に、伊藤・森田両氏の人間賛歌の心があるからではないでしょうか。思わず、何度も何度も読み返してしまうのです。

(50th Anniversary)
Undoubtedly one of the best movies ever made. How many times have I watched it already? Each time I watch it as I grow older, I begin to understand the reality it depicts. But for the nearly 3 hour run time of the movie, I even think that I would like to be together with these mafia families in the same time period. Everything was in good taste; the music, the shoes, the shape of the window frames in the rooms, the small glasses of liquor they drink, the backyard where they play with their grandchildren, they're all nice.
Favorite Scene in the Trilogy:
When Sonny, the eldest son, accidentally gives a glimpse of his thoughts to the rival family after his father, Vito, tried to change the atmosphere by offering a small glass of alcohol. The relationship between father and son, the eldest son's personality, the upcoming attack after this, and fate are all deeply connected.三部作で一番好きなシーン:
長男ソニーが敵に考えをチラッとしゃべってしまう時に、父ビトーが、お酒をすすめて場の空気を変えようとするその小さいグラスの酒。親子関係、長男の性格、これから来る攻撃と運命が集約されていて深い。(60th Anniversary)

Music
「ウォークマン」というカセットテープの携帯音楽プレイヤーの時代から、旅行に行く時は必ず入れておく曲。『JET』とは歌詞中では女性の名前のことですけれど、旅行前、空港待合室で聴くとテンション上がって「行くぞ」って燃えてくる。しかし、こういう曲でもポール・マッカートニーの作るものには、旅情というか哀愁エッセンスが必ず同時に在る。
