They publicly agreed to do a film together some day, which came to be Blood and Bones two years later. In a Josei Seven interview, Arai had stated that, in spite of his earlier critically acclaimed films, he regarded the satirical crime film ''The Matsugane Potshot Affair'' (2006) as his true breakthrough.
