Who is Stanely Izumi Kim?
 

Geez, I was just watching NEXT LEVEL PV again and I just happen to take a closer look at the credits.. It says directed by Stanely Izumi Kim and Luis Hernandez..

Stanlely~~ Isn't he her bodyguard (or so I thought) ?
So who is he exactly? Her bodyguard, or a director?

i tot her bodyguard name's Stanley?

stan is Ayu's bodyguard whom appeared in some of her making of PVs like Glitter/Mirrorcle world.
Luiz..
isn't he a director for PVs?

The one in Glitter was the bald guy right? Stan is the chubbier one. So, he's her bodyguard and occasionally her director too?

He does location scouting & stuff like that - he's a bodyguard but he's also kind of her liaison to everyone else when they go to the USA. He probably helped scout the locations & directed where the big sweeping tracking shots should go, so he would have gotten a director credit for that.

ahh~~ I see. Thanks for the info! :D

I think Stan is Hawaiian-Japanese..that's why he's fluent in english and know the whereabout and culture...and acts as a liaison in US

oh that's pretty cool~ didn't know that! is he korean? because of kim~

I didn't know his name was Stanley Izumi Kim
