Free on Plex: Golgo 13 (1973) starring Ken Takakura - an incredible time capsule of 70s Japanese aesthetic set in pre-revolutionary Iran (!) where the women dress promiscuously, the booze flows like wine, and the now-forbidden belly-dancing will captivate you watch.plex.tv/movie/golgo-13
They're caging Hachiko to protect him for Halloween. Why not instead give him a cool costume covered in razor-sharp spikes?

An extra-long, free Japan Daily Briefing to mark the start of the Takaichi government. Turns out the start of a new government generates a lot of news and analysis to read — who knew.

I knew Anthony Bourdain was a fervent Cool Japan guy, but it was news to me he made a cyberpunk graphic novel series called GET JIRO starring an ass-kicking sushi chef. How epic of him!

In the next round of US-Japan trade talks, the US should demand Japan decriminalize marijuana. Huge market opportunity, and could awaken Japan's once-thriving domestic hemp industry

It seems like Wikipedia editors are drastically shortening movie plot summaries and I wish they'd not do that. I love reading them to confirm my understanding of the movie.

The finances stink for deal to return the Commanders to DC. Instead of a Ballpark Fee, give people the opportunity to buy equity in the team, along with giving the City equity for whatever else it spends for the project. Why let fatcat investors bleed you dry? www.washingtonpost.com/dc-md-va/202...

Do yourself a favor and watch "Black Narcissus" on Xumo. Crazy story of nuns who set up a school in the mountains of India, shot in gorgeous technicolor with amazing costumes and ahead-of-its-time cinematography. I'll never forget the INTENSE eyes, something out of J-Horror

Complaints that Japan's government finances will be battered by expanded defense spending usually don't factor in the fact that Japan already pays for 75% of the cost to host the Americans. A just policy would simply switch that budget over to SDF and gradually usher out US forces
