Kamikaze Girls
Yet one another whacky japanese flick. I know you love it as much as i do. Ok, maybe not but still.
Kamikaze Girl ( Shimotsuma Monogatari) is about the friendship of two very different girls and their adventures in the slums of Ibaraki prefecture. Momoko is a french-maid looking lolita longing for the refinements of the lost french aristocracy while Ichiko is a hard-boiled biker gang leader.
They somehow end up friends and do crasy things for an hour and a half then it’s over. You also have an anime part to keep you entertain.
Why wouldn’t you want to watch this movie ? Come on, watch it ! Please.
For once the official site can be found in english here along with the trailer (more like a music video actually).
The two girls are Kyoko Fukada and Anna Tsuchiya, two fairly well-known pop stars in Japan. Rock n’roll.

I’ve seen the movie… silly fun anyway.
Anna TSUCHIYA is a kind of Plastic Surgery Creation… How will she looks in 20 years?

As I mentioned before, this flick is Marie-Antoinette on acid vs Dyke on a bike.
A couple months ago, I saw Shimotsuma monogatari aka “Kamikaze Girls” on regular Japanese TV. Needless to say the movie was improved by the lack of English subtitles. That is, you really don’t want to know how inane the dialog of this film is—-it’s the “Look” that counts.

More kamikaze AND more girls!! :)
Taro, you will have to get used to the fact that the rest of the world is always one or two steps behind you. Being a legend is a heavy burden… ;P

Not that I would know, but I don’t think Anna Anna Tsuchiya is a plastic surgery creation. She’s half white, though, which explains some things.
