wasurekaketeta. tooi. yume no. otozure.
While writing the Pop Culture article, I found some very interesting things on YouTube, among them were:

- West Side Story... IN JAPANESE!
- Ridiculously bad Japanese voice acting.
- That the protagonist of live-action Honey and Clover will be played by a member of the boy band ARASHI. (Not MatsuJun, though. :( )
- A few SMAPxSMAP skits, which are the craziest things. They even did the Numa Numa dance!
- Various Kimura Takuya J-doramas. (Which are surprisingly good, by the way. Watch Good Luck! It has a character who's JUST like Runge from Monster, except Japanese, better-looking, and a real person.)

On that note, VIDEO SPAM.

(If you watch further than the opening, I'll have to warn you of some spoiler-filled scenes immediately following it.)

The main cast is shown during that first half-minute or so, and there's a couple things I want to point out. First, Kou Shibasaki is the same actress who played Mitsuko (the psychotic chick) in Battle Royale. It's been a while since I watched the movie, so I didn't even realize it until today. Second, if you've seen the original Japanese version of Shall We Dance, you'll recognize Naota Takenaka as the dude with the bad wig who danced funny. (As a note, Shinichi Tsutsumi plays the Runge-like character.)

*goes to watch more J-doramas* :3
