Kamikaze Girls
2002 Japanese light novel
Kamikaze Girls, originally released in Japan as Shimotsuma Monogatari: Yankī-chan to Rorīta-chan (下妻物語 ヤンキーちゃんとロリータちゃん, "Shimotsuma Story: Delinquent Girl and Lolita Girl"), is a 2002 Japanese light novel written by Novala Takemoto. The story centers on the friendship between two students named Momoko Ryugasaki and Ichigo "Ichiko" Shirayuri. These two are from completely different backgrounds: one is a Lolita-fashioned girl and the other, her antithesis, is a yankī (juvenile delinquent). Viz Media licensed the novel for an English-language release in North America in 2006.
A live-actionfilm adaptation of the novel directed by Tetsuya Nakashima premiered in Japan in May 2004. It starred Kyoko Fukada as Momoko and Anna Tsuchiya as Ichigo. It was filmed in the town of Shimotsuma in Ibaraki Prefecture in eastern Japan. Viz Media screened the film in select theaters in the United States in late 2005 under the title Kamikaze Girls. They released it on DVD with hardcoded English subtitles in January 2006. The DVD extras include the original Japanese movie trailers, an interview with the lead actors, and a music video featuring Anna Tsuchiya. Third Window Films released Kamikaze Girls on Blu-ray in the United Kingdom in February 2010. The Blu-ray contains optional English subtitles, the same extras as the DVD, and the short filmBirth of Unicorn Ryuji.
A manga series based on the novel was illustrated by Yukio Kanesada and serialized in Shogakukan's Betsucomi magazine in 2004. The chapters were later collected into a single tankōbon (bound volume) published under Shogakukan's Flower Comics imprint. Viz Media licensed the manga for an English-language release in North America in 2006.

Cheers to women drinking on their own terms
On July 31, an organization called Shufu Rengo, along with a conference of groups that address alcohol-related issues, sent a letter to liquor-industry associations containing a "request" to enforce "self-regulation" of television commercials targeting women.
The letter cited a recent survey of 64 alcohol-related advertisements. It found that 38 of the advertisements featured people "drinking alone," among which 22 were female. In one TV commercial, a young woman was "singing and dancing under a blue sky," while in another a woman "drank on her terrace." What Shufu Rengo, which I will translate as the League of Housewives, found disturbing was that the women were shown "drinking happily during the daytime."
These two ads were all over TV last summer. In the first, popular young actress Kyoko Fukada is seen on a white-sand beach belting out an old Seiko Matsuda hit while holding a can of Kirin's Hyoketsu chuhai (Japanese alcopop). In the other spot, equally popular young actress Aoi Miyazaki sits on her balcony admiring the weather while drinking plum wine. Her silly behavior earlier in the commercial indicates that she's probably had one too many.
Over the years, Japanese actresses have given the world incredible films, putting their country into the spotlight. They have used their movies to enlighten and inform the broader populace about their beliefs, customs, and heritage. Meet the Japanese actresses who have contributed greatly to the scene and earned admiration.
