At the time it seemed I was the only person with no clue about who AKB were. Before seeing them perform I asked for some context and was told “the Japanese equivalent of a Lady Gaga show” 🫠

from a MV I did for #AKB48 a gig I never imagined for myself, but it did allow me to go again with the great #ShinjiKimura who provided wonderfully detailed BG layouts (fusing Leb Woods and Shin Takamatsu!)

His brother, the late Koichi Hashimoto, was also a lead on Spriggan.

I just re-listened to every song in the #NewOrder catalogue, and have determined that 1981’s Procession is absolutely the very best song they ever made, bar none.

There, I’ve said it. Sorry @peterhookthelight.bsky.social but it’s true.

#Tekkonkinkreet budget in 2006 was about ¥450,000,000 equivalent to ¥529,299,679 now, adjusted for Japan inflation.☝️

In 2006 ¥450,000,000 was $3.8M. But today’s ¥529,299,679 is only $3.6M.🤔

So it would actually cost less to make in today’s money…?🫣

Thanks for leading me down this rabbit hole 🫠

Not without rough patches, but filmmaking in Japan has worked out okay for me. I couldn’t have made #Tekkon in the US anyways (I know because I tried for years and it was always, “Make Shiro a girl,” or, “People don’t want to see an action movie about kids.”)
