Hi! Sorry to bother but please help me out. Can you give me a link to the video of namie amuro - interview with hiroshi kume in 1996? Please! Thank You! 💐💜

Hiiii those screen caps are from this video but the channel has been taken down due to copyright.

Sorry I can't be of more help, but I'm posting this publicly in case anyone just so happens to have a back up or knows of other places to look (I've tried looking at niconico and bilibili and some other old + modern Japanese websites but still nothing...)

Nami (aka best girl) for the headcanon thingy please x

Whoever you are to ask this I LOVE YOU thank you Nami is such a good girl

Headcanon A:  realistic: Nami only regrets two of the cases she's lost. One was the case referenced in canon as a loss for her, the other was a civil suit in which her client was absolutely not correct but she was disappointed to let justice prevail because, on principal, using your dad's credit card to buy 200 grilled cheeses is not morally wrong.

Headcanon B: while it may not be realistic it is hilarious: Nami will unironically cook hot ham water. Sayaka can't stand this fact but Nami and Goro will Feast when she's away for a night.

Headcanon C: heart-crushing and awful, but fun to inflict on friends: Nami/Shinjiro is the most cursed ship possible for her. While some others are more cursed, Shinji is actually so misguided in his own traumas that, when mixed with her brainweird, he would end up manipulating her into detransitioning.

Headcanon D: unrealistic, but I will disregard canon about it because I reject canon reality and substitute my own.: This is actually weird to answer for my own character because I Control The Canon. But, I'll say that something which I wish I could have done with her but really can't, would be to hang out with Etsuko more and bond over both Being Cats.

One of the greatest joys in my life is coming across almost ineffable wonder. I take pleasure in the good and the bad, sure, but there are wonders in this world. There is art that transcends our petty categories of “good” and “bad.” Things I find difficult or even impossible to evaluate because they fill me with awe. The merely competent rarely contains wonders. Most merely competent art rarely contains wonders because it often sensibly makes do with what it can accomplish what it can with the resources it has and the ambition or fervor to try anyway. Most art that is widely considered bad contains one or maybe two such wonders. Then there is Wolf Guy: Enraged Lycanthrope (1975).

Wolf Guy is a film adaptation of the two-volume manga, Wolf Guy: The Origin (1971), written by Hirai Kazumasa with art by Hisashi Sakaguchi. The manga is itself an outgrowth of Kazumasa’s 1969 short story, “Vice School.” Kazumasa really felt wolf guy and over the next three decades his short story expanded into young wolf guy and adult wolf guy stories, novellas, manga and two film adaptations, Toho’s Horror of the Wolf (1973) and Toei’s Wolf Guy: Enraged Lycanthrope. Wolf Guy: The Origin concerns an American-Japanese middle school student, Akami Inugami, who is a werewolf. Akami transforms into a very groovy werewolf who reminds me of Wendy Pini’s wolf-riding elves in his personal wolf style. (Elfquest’s Wolfriders didn’t mount up till 1978).

Sakaguchi’s cover art for Wolf Guy: Origins, Vol. 2

ElfQuest art by Wendy Pini.

But rather than fun hijinx as Akami tries to hide his nature from the faculty and his fellow students, the manga is dark. There are stabbings and rape. I have both volumes in Japanese, but I don’t read Japanese. So I’m going with what I can gleam from the volumes, Sakaguchi’s curly, twisty art and Patrick Macias’ introduction to Arrow Video’s blu-ray release of Wolf Guy. Incidentally, I highly recommend all the special features including interviews with Sonny Chiba, director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi, producer Toru Yoshida as well as essays by Patrick Macias on “the resurrection of Wolf Guy” and Jasper Sharp on the context of Wolf Guy in film history. Sharp uses my favorite Japanese aesthetic term, ero guro nansensu–“erotic grotesque nonsense.”

In the film, our enraged lycanthrope, Akira Inugami, is played by Sonny Chiba. Inugami is the only survivor of a clan of werewolves who were massacred by their human neighbors. Now he lives in Tokyo and his wardrobe and soundtrack are fully 1975. The film opens as a terrified man in an immaculate white suit and gloves stumbles into traffic, screaming, “The tiger is coming!” Inugami  slaps the man trying to get him to calm down. But Inugami is much more compassionate than the street fighters Chiba often played, and slaps him almost delicately. The man is still in no state to explain as he raves about the tiger and how “Miki has cursed us!” Surrounded by stopped cars in all four directions, he flops from hood to hood before his back is slashed open by invisible claws. He turns and we see as his chest and throat are torn open. Inugami covers the dead man with his trench coat. As he looks into the neon, he sees a ghostly tiger panting–but he’s the only one who sees it.

Inugami is questioned by the police, and it seems like he always is. As the detectives grow impatient with Inugami’s answers, they bark at him, “Wherever you go, there’s always an incident!” A werewolf just can’t get along in this human world. But Inugami’s in luck. He’s exonerated by the autopsy report. The blame is placed squarely on a demon.

The detectives argue briefly before releasing Inugami. “It’s the only possibility. I can’t do anything about it,” the chief detective says.

“It’s unbelievable.”

“A human being wouldn’t be able to slash a body like that and not in such a short time, either.”

Miki sings at the strip club.

Yes, that’s the world we’re in. Is it noir? Is it horror? Is it martial arts? Is it science fiction? Is it a yakuza picture? A movie about a cat demon lady? It’s all of them. Inugami is released and begins an investigation into this tiger and the stripper/singer Miki who has cursed these men. And I think it’s more of an enticement than a spoiler to say that he discovers so much including:  amazing 1970s fashion; relentless funk and psychedelic guitar; blood like tomato sauce; a murder romper**; intriguing burlesque; labial butterfly club decorations; a distraction mouse; gangsters playing ring toss using a broken mannequin; threatening chanteusery; a grudge turned into a tiger; a band/ group of heavies called, The Mobs; government conspiracies; and a secret intelligence agency willing to weaponize the paranormal whatever the cost–including gross surgery represented with real surgical footage. There are so many wonders I cannot share them all.

Sweet opening titles

Do you notice anything about this butterfly

Distraction mouse!

The murder romper.

In making Wolf Guy, director Kazuhiko Yamaguchi, writer Fumio Konami and producer Toru Yoshida created a wonder, even if maybe they don’t feel like it now, at least according to the interviews included in the special features. And while there are so many things I could talk about with this movie, I am going to focus on one. Sonny Chiba never transforms. He becomes invulnerable on the full moon, to the point that he can break steel bars and suck his own organs back into his abdomen with a smile. But he never gets hairy.  When I first saw the movie, this disappointed me. Because part of the draw was the idea of Sonny Chiba turning into a werewolf. I wanted to see his transformation. Seeing the film again, with time to ponder, I feel differently. It makes sense to me, not just in terms of the limitations of the resources given to the filmmakers and the time they had to research werewolf movies and read up on European folklore, (i.e., none). It makes sense that Sonny Chiba’s werewolf form is Sonny Chiba. In fact, Sonny Chiba might be the ideal werewolf form.

Lucas Cranach the Elder, “The Werewolf or the Cannibal.” c. 1512

Historically it’s not all that off. While the werewolf now is very much about the transformation, in the past the werewolf had mostly been recognizable for murder and cannibalism, often targeting children. So much so that when French missionaries encountered First Nations accounts of windigo, they understood the stories as about werewolves.*** During the period of the European werewolf trials, the accused didn’t always transform into a wolf. Some acted like wolves. Some just killed and ate people. And when given stories of how someone had transformed into a wolf by means of a salve, belt, robe or skin, there were judges and scholars who would dispute that the werewolf had in reality transformed. Instead, they argued that it was a matter of perception–that the accused believed and perceived themselves as changing into a wolf and that any eyewitnesses’ senses had been deceived.

And Wolf Guy is not alone in its cinematic presentation of a werewolf in human or mostly human form. A few recent movies present werewolves that way. In When Animals Dream (2014), Marie’s nails crack, she grows more body hair in awkward places and eventually her eyes change, but mostly she changes mentally. As her town’s doctor tells her, “You’ll also change emotionally and be short-tempered and aggressive.” Her mother, who goes full werewolf never looks like Lon Chaney Jr. or Benicio Del Toro in their respective transformations. Ginger Snaps (2000) has almost a sliding scale from the vaguely lupine Ginger when she’s having fun to angry, monstrous wolf. As far as I remember Sybil Danning remains constantly Sybil Danning in Howling 2: Your Sister Is A Werewolf (1985).**** And in Claire Denis’ Trouble Every Day (2001), Béatrice Dalle’s Coré has all the signs of being a werewolf without the furry looks. Driven into a frenzy, she bites her lovers to death during sex.

Wolf Guy is much more peaceful than some of those werewolves. He doesn’t bite or eat human beings. Completely human JCIA Agent Katie (Kumi Taguchi) might lick his blood off his hand during sex, but he eats a steak at a fancy restaurant. In fact, he’s such a gentleman, I don’t remember ever seeing him without his pants on. In his most intimate moments he removes only his jacket, tie and shirt. He doesn’t kill in a ravening fury. He only kills to protect himself or others. Akira the last of his kind. As she died, his mother told him that it was his responsibility to avenge the wolf tribe, but he walked away from that. The brutality is reversed. He is a victim of human violence and still compassionate towards humans, even protecting terrible people. He tries to help the man killed in front of him, the last member of The Mobs and Miki (Etsuko Nami), the woman who has been tormented into becoming demonic. He is loved by three of the five women in the film: Kate; Miki, whose grudge is killing men; and, Taka (Yayoi Watanabe), a woman from his old village who loves the werewolves for their kindness. (One of the women was his mother).*****

Sonny Chiba in his werewolf form.

Even when he is driven too far, Akira’s instinct is to retreat from the world, to live peacefully by himself. His lycanthropic tragedy is not  that he is cursed to kill, to reveal the beast controlled and restrained by civilization. Instead his curse is that humans perceive him as an animal to be used or destroyed. And in the modern world, this human cruelty is inescapable.

If Yamaguchi had more resources, he might have made a werewolf movie that was more like a traditional Western werewolf movie, transformation and all. But I think the movie would be worse for it. As it is, Wolf Guy is a work of wonder.

*Horror of the Wolf was based on Kazumasa’s Wolfcrest novels, available in English from Kodansha.

**Inugami, as I note, is not murderous, but I really like the phrase, “murder romper” for his final outfit.

***No, you’ve read too much about werewolves!

****No, your sister is a werewolf!

***** Miki is also named after his mother. And then there’s a very awkward sex scene.

~~~

Wherever Carol Borden goes, there’s always an incident.

Wonder of the Wolf Guy One of the greatest joys in my life is coming across almost ineffable wonder. I take pleasure in the good and the bad, sure, but there are wonders in this world.

Yaguchi Haruo, es un muchacho de sexto en el año 1991 y que vive para los videojuegos. No es popular en la escuela, no es guapo, no es divertido y ni siquiera es simpático. Lo único que se le dan bien, son los videojuegos. Un día, en un salón recreativo, se encuentra a Oono Akira, compañera de clase y que es guapa, inteligente, lista y popular. Ambos jugarán a Street Fighter II, solo para que Haruo pierda 30 partidas seguidas contra la chica, la cual resulta ser invencible en cualquier juego. Akira comenzará a seguir a Haruo en todas sus visitas a los recreativos para pegarle palizas en todo juego existente, algo que al muchacho molestará bastante en un inicio… pero que acabará haciendo que forjen una extraña amistad.

La revista Big Gangan anunció el anime en diciembre de 2013, que ha estado en pausa desde entonces por los problemas legales del mismo con SNK Playmore.

Oshikiri estuvo publicando su manga Hi Score Girl en la revista Big Gangan (Square Enix) desde 2010, pero en 2014 el manga entró en pausa debido a una controversia legal entre SNK Playmore y Square Enix debido al uso sin permiso de varios personajes de videojuegos propiedad de SNK Playmore. Posteriormente los derechos de los propietarios de los personajes se fue aclarando y por ejemplo Bandai Namco y Capcom confirmaron que habían dado su permiso, sin embargo Sega comentaba que a pesar que habían aparecido algunos de sus personajes, sólo había dado permiso para uno de ellos.

Square Enix y SNK Playmore sellaron un acuerdo en agosto de 2015, por el que SNK Playmore retiraba la denuncia contra Square Enix, permitiendo que se pudiera seguir haciendo y vendiendo el manga Hi Score Girl.

En 2016 los cinco primeros volúmenes se reeditaron bajo el Hi Score Girl CONTINUE.

El noveno tomo recopilatorio del manga reveló que la obra finalizará con el décimo tomo recopilatorio. El último capítulo del manga se publicó el 25 de septiembre.

[The sequel to Everybody's Brand New and Improved Killing Game Semester. Daily Updates. Can be understood just fine without reading BNAI first, but does spoil part of BNAI's ending] [ Comments and Speculation greatly appreciated!!] ["Other" tags are to avoid clutter]

Ever wanted to read a fanganronpa with thoroughly canon LGBT+ characters? How about one that updates every day? One that examines what makes a person really good, in the face of a world with rigid ‘good’ and ‘evil’? Then this one just might be for you. Please seriously read this I put my blood sweat and tears into it literally every day
