It's no secret to anyone that reads my profile that I've developed a new obsession with Japanese cinema. It all started with Godzilla as a kid and then got kicked into high gear after picking up Ichi the Killer on a whim. Who knew? As with any obsession I must now know any and everything about these films. As I search the internet, I have come across some great movie databases and such. The only problem was they were American sites and were seriously lacking in information about films only released in Japan. This, therefore, meant I needed to search sites written in Japanese. Now Google does a fair job of translating websites and I've been a Babel fish fan for years, but it is still difficult to search for something when you aren't sure what you are looking for or what words to use. I needed a better search engine. Well, I've found it. Bulletin boards run by teenage fans of hot Japanese actors. Sure, they focus on the more attractive and youthful members of the cinema community, but that's not a problem. The Japanese film community is pretty small and the same actors and directors will work together again and again. Here it's six degrees of Kevin Bacon. There it's only three degrees of Tadanobu Asano. And talk about thorough! There is no stone these girls leave unturned in their search for information about their favorite actor. Why I know that Tadanobu wears a size 10 shoe, the Matsuda family home was recently robbed (Ryuhei had fortunately moved out long ago so was unharmed) and have seen some pretty hot pictures of Narimiya's ass. If these girls had access to GPS equipment, I would know the exact location of Tetsuji Tamayama this very moment. In addition to that I've found links to newspapers and entertainment sites with director interviews and movie production information. And talk about speed? These girls are fast. Through a well connected network of teen spirit it takes only hours for information to leave Japan, make a stop in Hong Kong, pause in Great Britain where is gets translated into English and sent to the States. Reuters and AP have nothing on this network.
I think our government should take a look at this. Al Gore may claim he invented the internet, but these girls own it. Hormonally driven girls could be our secret weapon against the war on terrorism. They just need to be motivated. Why I'm convinced that if Osama bin Laden were hot, these girls would have found him years ago. Of course as girls do they would still be arguing about whether or not he looks better with or without the beard.
