On a more cheerful note, happy birthday Shioya Shun (Yuusuke from Hurricanger).
I would provide some witty commentary on this post but right now words fail me.
That really *is* all.

Shinjuku Yakuza Violence
Suwa Taro (Coal Orugu) spotted in Miike Takashi’s Ryu ga Gotoku: Gekijo-ban, based on the Shenmue-powered SEGA franchise for the PlayStation 2.
Also some guy named Shioya Shun was in it. Some of you might know him.
Actually, if you’ve watched any Japanese films of TV shows made in the last 20 years or so, I guarantee someone from whatever you’ve watched will have been in this film, not least of all the mightly Aikawa Sho and Endo Kenichi.
The film also features one of the strangest possible Tokyo Drifter homages ever, and speaking of director Suzuki Seijun, should I ever find the words for it, remind me to talk to you about the Odagiri Jo/Zhang Ziyi ‘musical’ Operetta Tanuki Goten.
