きらきらひかる | KIRA KIRA HIKARU (1992) dir. Joji Matsuoka Shoko and Mutsuki get married to satisfy their worried parents, but Shoko is well past the age at which a 'good' Japanese woman should marry, and Mutsuki has a lover he can't live without, a male college student named Kon who ends up meeting his wife on accident. All three are still young, all trying to construct an alternative to the sexual and familial roles given to them by a society turning increasingly emotionally barren. (link in title)

#1 Hanako-San

Is a popular urban legend about the spirit of a young girl who haunts school bathrooms. It is very popular among Japanese children who sometimes dare their friends to summon her as a test of courage. Similar to most urban legends her origins vary on different accounts some say that she might of committed suicide in a school bathroom or that she was killed during a air raid during World War II.

To summon her, a person must go to the third floor of a school and enter the girls bathroom, go to the third stall and knock three times and say “ Are you there Hanako-San?” Then they should hear a voice saying “Yes I am.” What happens next depends on the story. Sometimes they’ll witness Hanako-San herself, who is a young girl with a bob wearing a red skirt. They may see bloody hand which will forcefully drag the person to hell through the toilet. Or they could be eaten by a three headed lizard. Some say that if you are a star student she won’t bother you

You could say she’s like the Japanese version of bloody mary in a way.

She’s also inspired movies like “Toire no Hanako-san” directed by Joji Matsuoka in 1995 and mangas like “Jibaku shounen hanako-kun” that now has an anime adaptation.

Who knows maybe if you’re still in school you can try summoning her yourself.

Midnight Diner (2009) [La Cantina de Medianoche, Shinya shokudo]

¡Atención, esta crítica contiene alguos spoilers!

Título original: Shinya shokudô

Dirección: Joji Matsuoka, Nobuhiro Yamashita

Guion: Katsuhiko Manabe, Kôsuke Mukai, [Historia: Yaro Abe (manga)]

Elenco: Kaoru Kobayashi, Toshiki Ayata, Mansaku Fuwa, Shohei Uno, Kiyobumi Kaneko, Takashi Yamanaka, Risa Sudo, Asako Kobayashi, Nahoko Yoshimoto, Joe Odagiri, Yuko Genkaku, Ryo Iwase, Tamae Ando, Yutaka Matsushige

País: Japón

Año: 2009

Tempordas: 5

A veces es más simple abrirte ante un completo extraño. La certeza de lo desconocido te libera de las limitaciones de lo habitual. En mi opinión, todos tenemos más en común de lo que queremos aceptar. De las doce de la noche hasta las siete de la mañana el Restaurante de Medianoche es la ventana que ofrece la vida nocturna para reencontrarnos a través de algo tan simple como la comida casera.  

Basada en el manga de Yaro Abe, la serie cuenta las diferentes historias de los clientes de un pequeño restaurante nocturno en Shinjuko, Tokio. El chef (conocido simplemente como Maestro) solo tiene un menú de apenas un par de platillos, sin embargo, puede preparar lo que sea que quieran sus clientes siempre y cuando tenga los ingredientes a disposición.

Desde su estreno en 2009 la serie gozó de bastante popularidad en Japón y tuvo otras dos temporadas a cargo de productoras niponas. En 2016 se hizo una continuación de la serie con dos nuevas temporadas producida ahora por Netflix bajo el título de Midnight Diner: Tokyo Stories. También cuenta con una película live action, además de remakes para Corea y China.

La serie consta de diez episodios por temporada, con una duración aproximada de treinta minutos. Hay una sencillez general en su estilo, los planos medios y detalle son una constante bien empleada para mostrar a los personajes, asociados a un platillo en particular. También buscan variedad con planos más abiertos para las escenas en exteriores. Adicionalmente, se rompe la cuarta pared al finalizar los episodios, lo que termina de enganchar a la audiencia. En la segunda temporada los créditos son acompañados por una canción de la receta y en la tercera, comienzan a mostrar una versión más prolija de su estilo que se perfecciona en la continuación producida por Netflix.

Mayormente la serie se enfoca en el drama, pero es la comedia la que realmente brilla para mí, ya que puede ser irónica, ingenua e incluso absurda. Lo que permite estilos más experimentales y surrealistas. La música es la que mejor representa el tono general de la serie. Un tanto melancólica, que evoca una nostalgia reconfortante.

Sorprende cómo hacen que la serie no se sienta monótona a pesar de contar con la misma estructura tan de principio a fin y es gracias a los personajes. A pesar de que algunos parecen tropos o estereotipos, el desarrollo en ellos es impecable (ya que no todos son típicos personajes de televisión) podemos ver desde amas de casa y estudiantes a mafiosos, strippers y actores porno. Sin embargo, es muy fácil conectar con la mayoría de ellos porque los muestran como personas comunes, con defectos y virtudes, que atraviesan problemas comunes asociados al amor, la amistad, la soledad, inseguridades personales, etc. Adicionalmente apoyados en excelentes actuaciones constantes.

He notado que las historias las protagonizan diferentes clientes, pero de alguna u otra manera siempre se mantiene una conexión con los “clientes regulares” del restaurante, así que pienso que en líneas generales la serie puede ser interpretada como un homenaje a ese ambiente cálido que se logra a partir de la confianza que damos a los extraños y cómo la costumbre a través del tiempo nos lleva a convertimos en familia.

Seiyuu Speak Out - KyoAni Arson

This is originally from r/anime This was crossposted to the seiyuu Reddit by u/Pyr1t3_Radio

The blast occurred at the No. 1 studio of Kyoto Animation in the western Japan city of Kyoto at around 10:30 a.m., company officials said.  Toll at time of termination of rescue efforts is 33 dead, 36 injured. There were 73 people in that building.

Ogura Yui's planned Line Live for tonight has been cancelled out of respect for the victims.

Tomorrow's Aikatsu! 5th Anniversary special programme (with Tomita Miyu) has also been cancelled.

Deep respect to Ao-chan for voicing out her honest opinion.

触れません。正直思う事沢山あります。でも誰かと共感して「悲しかったね」って終わりたくないんです。私の中で考えて、怒って、悲しんで、祈るべきことです。ここはそういう事を共有するべき場ではない。どんな人がどんな関係性で見ているか、わからないから。バカみたいに、楽しい事だけ、あえて。

I will not touch on this. Honestly, there are many things I want to say. But I don't want it to end with simply empathising with someone else's "how sad." This is something I must ponder upon, feel mad about, be saddened, and pray about on my own. This place isn't a platform for me to share those feelings. That's because I don't know what kind of relationships the people looking at this may have with the incident. I want to be like an idiot, sharing only fun things, intentionally.

It looks like it's because many people were asking her to address it and were semi-criticizing her for tweeting about having fun at Osaka when there's this whole fuss about KyoAni a few hours back (source).

She added later on here:

なおこれは、今呟いていらっしゃる方を否定する内容ではありません。私自身がわたしの中で気持ちの整理もつかないまま、公の場でコメントできないなって思ったんです。

Nevertheless, this does not mean that I am denying the people who are tweeting about it now. I merely felt that I should not be commenting on a public platform when I still have not properly collected my feelings myself.

__________________________________________________

Also to add on to the list, Kaji Yuki also tweeted a short message regarding the incident a few hours ago:

ただ、ただ、祈る。

I'll simply, simply pray (alt. I'll keep on, keep on praying)

I find this a little difficult to translate precisely, but I believe it conveys the meaning that though it may be out of our hands, and we cannot do more than "simply" praying, we must keep on doing so, if that's the only thing we can do.

He appeared on a live stream of a non-anime/seiyuu related program slightly before that, and his tweet from then seemed to be a little indicative of the incident as well:

自分にやれること、やるべきことを、精一杯やります。

The things I can, and must do, I’ll do them within the best of my abilities.

_______________________________________________

Rough translation of some other tweets as listed in this thread:

@Ayana_Take (Taketatsu Ayana)

傷ついた方々の回復と無事を願うと共に、亡くなられた方々のご冥福を心からお祈り致します。

As we wish for the safety and healing of the injured, let us offer our sincere prayers for the peace of the dead.

I agree with Ao-chan that too many words on the internet may not be needed, but I hope that all the prayers will reach them #PrayForKyoani 🙏

About Fate/stay night [Heaven’s Feel] III. spring song:

To save the girl, to enact the justice he’s chosen…The young man will no longer turn a blind eye to the truth. Mages (Masters) and Heroic Spirits (Servants) work together in the battles of the Holy Grail War, a fight for an omnipotent wish-granting container called the Holy Grail. However, this war has become horribly twisted.

A young woman named Sakura Matou, with the sins she has committed, drowns in the murky darkness. A young man named Shirou Emiya, who vowed to protect Sakura, works together with Rin Tohsaka and throws himself into the raging battle to put a stop to the Holy Grail War. Illyasviel von Einzbern, as one of the few who knows the truth behind the conflict, confronts her own fate, while Zouken Matou uses Sakura to try to fulfill his own desires.

Will the young man’s wish reach her even as he challenges fate itself, battling against the rising tide? The Holy Grail War is coming to an end… The final battle is about to begin.

Twinkle (Matsuoka Joji, 1992) an arranged marriage brings a gay man and a depressed woman together, but gets their parents of their backs. experiment in living, attempting to keep the man's younger boyfriend in the fold, attempting to keep secrets. melancholic and wistful with a really nice coda. definitely one of the better movies yakushimaru hiroko starred in, though she doesn't sing the theme song. unless my grandfather's clock is the theme song.
