Sisyphean is the ennui rampantly in situ within the modern life architecture. A void of degradation, of scintillating deception, its barbaric psychosis does not so much ensnare its occupants as it does digest their capacity to exist outside its sphere of influence. Out of its relentlessly turning cogs emerge identical faces, diluted and filtered to resemble mirror images of a central unifying idea – a world long prophesied and dreaded within the arts. Out of this humdrum existence, it only takes a spark to ignite the incendiary desires of a nihilistic teen longing for purpose – just a few millimetres of alcohol waiting for a cigarette to meet its inevitable, timely demise can, in the eyes of Ken Ninomiya’s mesmerizing “The Midnight Maiden War”, tilt the balance off its axis and verge towards chaos.

Leading Japanese pay TV broadcaster Wowow has greenlit a live-action TV series spin-off of the legendary anime series Yatterman.
Titled Doronjo, the new series will tell the prequel story of the influential female villain of the same name from the original Yatterman series.

The series later broadcast in Spain, Italy, Poland and several other Asian countries, becoming a global hit.

As we follow the stories about people growing up and making their first tentative steps into the adult world, it is also a look back at our own past, how we felt at that point in our lives and how we would go on to define our lives, and thus our happiness. With schools focusing on career and opportunities, happiness is often regarded as a secondary gal, even though you might argue it is the one which becomes increasingly important as we take that aforementioned look back. However, it is pretty hard to figure out what happiness is and what it might mean for us – a question which is at the heart of actress Elaiza Ikeda’s directing debut “Town Without Sea”. The blend of drama and coming-of-age story follows the story of two friends, as they try to figure out what happiness means for them and if their friendship is part of that concept.

If you’re new to the world of Homura Kawamoto’s manga and the films and Netflix series it has inspired, you may need a moment to adjust to your surroundings. Welcome to Hyakkaoh Academy, Japan’s number one elite school for gamblers. Here, everything depends on luck and the ability to outwit the competition. Those who are successful become legends. Those who lose are forced to wear pet tags and perform servile duties for their betters in a system resembling the practice of fagging in English public schools. There is only the briefest of introductions, and nothing in the way of justification, provided at the start of this film, which expects viewers to be familiar with the setting already. It wastes no time in getting on with the action as student president Kirari (Elaiza Ikeda) and brilliant outsider Yumeko (Minami Hamabe) are faced with a new threat: the scheming,...

I was browsing through Netflix’s unintuitive search engine the other day and stumbled upon “Followers”, a 2020 Netflix Japanese web series directed by Mika Ninagawa. Who I found out is a superstar photographer known for her pop art photography works by using bright colours and floral imageries. A lot of the photos hanging around in the show are hers, the wall design in Limi’s studio, the cherry blossom photos she’s discussing with her team and also in the montages that started the first episode. The Japanese contemporary pop art movement is always fascinating to me as they took a different approach and is influenced by ukiyo-e paintings, manga/anime aesthetics, ‘flat’ aesthetics to bring out vibrant colours and storytelling in just a single 2-dimensional medium. She had a very distinctive style that I paid more attention when rewatching the series,...

With plenty of history throughout modern times, a live-action version of an anime series or show is nothing new in Japanese cinema which is where Tsutomu Hanabusa‘s version of the gambling series comes from, as a sequel to two seasons of a live-action TV drama. After being on the festival circuit for a while, this now makes its way to American audiences with its premiere at the Fantasia International Film Festival.
“Kakegurui” screened at the Fantasia International Film Festival:
Transferring to the elite Hyakkaou Private Academy, new student Yumeko Jabami (Minami Hamabe) is determined to subvert the trope about the school from determining your grades based on how well you perform at the gambling table. While there, she faces opposition from student council president Kirari Momobami (Elaiza Ikeda) who is also dealing with a battle against Amane Murasame (Hio Miyazawa), the priest-like leader of a campus-based cult called The Village,...

I have not seen the two films Ninagawa directed in 2019 but her first two, “Sakuran” and “Helter Skelter” are among my favorite Japanese films of all time, both due to their concept and their intense visual style. Thus, I was quite curious to see how her style would be implemented in a TV series and Netflix’s “Followers” provided the opportunity.
The story revolves around four women. Limi Nara is a very successful photographer, who now feels the need to become a mother, despite the fact that she is single. Natsume Hyakuta has come to Tokyo in order to become an actress, but has not managed to do so at all, and she just does whatever job comes her way waiting for her big break.

I am a huge fan of the original Ring(u) movie. I was 17/18 when I first saw it and before I saw it I had heard rumours about how creepy it was. Watching it on VHS only added to the occasion. It was similar to The Blair Witch Project with the hype that had surrounded it at the time, and like that found footage movie, Ring lived up to all of the hype.
It then of course got an American remake (and subsequent sequels), while also getting its own sequels, a prequel and spin-offs. It is now quite the franchise. But like 95% of horror franchises, the quality of the movies is a mixed bag, with the original still standing head and shoulders above the rest. Sadako sees the return...

Director Hideo Nakata brought novelist Kôji Suzuki’s Ring series to the big screen two decades ago and spawned a laundry list of sequels, American remakes (one of which he helmed), comics, and television remakes that each put their own unique spin on central “monster” Sadako Yamamura’s history until fluidity of mythology became a veritable franchise hallmark. Things got muddled fast too as the initial follow-up to Ringu fared so poorly (with a different creative team at the lead to release the same year) that it was struck from the record so Nakata could make his own. The product subsequently devolved into a string of poorly received, self-referential spin-offs capped off by a mash-up with popular Japanese horror icon Kayako. So why wouldn’t fans get excited for Nakata’s return?

As a landlord, there are many rules and regulations that need to be adhered to. As indicated by a suitably seedy Tomorowo Taguchi in “Room Laundering’s” carnivalesque opening scene, Japanese law requires that landlords reveal that if a previous tenant died in a property, any prospective renters must be informed as such. But, with the help of a troubled young woman, uncaring landlords can find a way round this.

Miko (Elaiza Ikeda) saw her father die at a young age and then her mother disappear soon after.

With no home, Goro sends Miko to live in any apartment of the recently deceased, making the current tenant alive and well, so Goro’s clients...

You have probably heard about money laundering. But what about Room Laundering? Director and writer Kenji Katagiri wants to tell you more about that in his same-titled debut film.
“Room Laundering” is part of the Asian selection at Fantasia International Film Festival
Room Laundering means to restore the reputation of an apartment. Why was the Reputation damaged? Because someone got killed or killed himself there. The Japanese law demands the landlord to inform the new tenant about the previous happenings, which will make it very hard to sell the apartment. There is a loophole, though. This information obligation lasts until the first new tenant after the incident, moves in.
And this is where the story kicks in. Miko, played by Elaiza Ikeda (“The Many Faces of Ito” 2017), is a young woman, who works as a placeholder. Whenever there is a murder room or a suicide apartment, her phone rings and she has to move in,...

According to Kenji Katagiri’s debut feature Room Laundering — and I have no reason to disbelieve him — Japan has a law stating that landlords must divulge whether a previous tenant died or suffered a violent crime within any newly vacated property to all prospective replacements. But while this rule makes sense considering people are sensitive to the notion of supernatural hauntings and evil spirits, lawmakers never stipulated how long before that history can be “cleaned” off the books. No one setting the duration at “x-amount of years” is an obvious oversight, but that lack of concrete interpretation allows owners to simply agree to a loose understanding hinged upon the basis of the tenants themselves. If someone moves in and leaves afterwards, whomever follows won’t technically have to know.
It’s a wild loophole that makes for a captivating premise to set a sweetly funny and surreal coming-of-age tale centered upon a twenty-year old,...
