Not sure what to say?

One of the greatest love stories ever produced! An outstanding, world class performance; a movie with a storyline ahead of its time!!! I have viewed it more times than I can remember, and still it gives me goosebumps...

When I first saw "Sayonara" in 1973 in Singapore, I immediately adore Miiko Taka. I repeated watched the show 3 times in a row. Those days we did not have social media so I got no news and whereabouts of Miiko Taka. As internet came into existence, I found more about her and her whereabouts. I missed her and saddened by the news of her demise. She will live in my heart forever as she always has.

I absolutely adored her she was such a lovely actress. So perfectly cast in sayonara. Such a beautiful gentle soul. She will never be forgotten. Rest in peace lovely woman

You were the most beautiful lady I'd ever seen. May you rest eternally in peace.

How sad I was to learn of Miiko Taka's passing. I watched Sayonara with my father as a teenager and was captivated by her talent and beauty. Sayonara remains one of my favorite movies. Condolences to her family, friends, and all who loved her.

I watched this Movie with my Mother as a child. Today l saw it again. Such a beautiful elegant actress.RIP

In a coincidence this afternoon I was reading Truman Capote's portrait of Marlon Brando as he was esconced in Kyoto's luxurious Miyako Hotel - contracted to be the leading man in Josh Logan's film Sayonara. Capote recounts the discovery of Miiko Taka an unknown, first-time actor in LA, who was selected to play the part turned down by the director and producer's first choice, Audrey Hepburn!

I saw sayeonea as a student love the soun track and the film

This lady made an impression on me in Sayonara years ago. She was such a a beautiful and gentle soul. May she rest in peace and condolences to her family.
