Tony Takitani’s real name was Tony Takitani, no shit
Behold the power of popularity. Yes, you haven’t entered the fifth dimension or bizzaro world. Tony Takitani’s official website really does have an ENGLISH VERSION !
Who ? WHy ? Where ?
It’s actually quite simple. Tony Takitani is a movie based on a book by Murakami Haruki who happens to be the most popular japanese writer outside japan. Plus the guy teaches at an american university so getting things translated is not very complicated.
I mean come on, it’s a place full of students and some of them probably know how to speak japanese. So you’re Murakami Haruki you’re a bit famous with the japanese enthusiasts crowd and there you go. Free translations.
See, being famous is not only about money or scoring chicks even if it’s a big part of it. It’s the little things, free beer, free food, being invited to the movies and free translations of the official website of the next movie based on one of your novel.
Oh and Ryuchi Sakamoto will find the time to compose the soundtrack between shootings for New Balance commercials.
