Return of Drunkard (Folk Crusaders) J-pop

It is a pioneer of Japanese comic songs. The debut work of Kazuhiko Kato, who later became active in many fields. A vicious driver who dies from drunken driving is disgusted by God, who repeatedly warned him that he would not stop drinking heavily even in heaven, and depicts a sloppy life until he is kicked out of heaven. As in the previous `` Uncle's Song in Kawachi '', dialects are used extensively, creating a sense of fun. Drunkard is a dialect of the Tohoku region, and God is a dialect of the Kansai region. Could it be that Drunkard was kicked out of heaven by God because he couldn't understand the dialect of the Kansai region?

帰ってきたヨッパライ（フォーク・クルセダーズ）J-pop

日本のコミック・ソングの草分けである。のちに多方面で活躍する加藤和彦のデビュー作。酒酔い運転で死んだ悪質ドライバーが、天国でも深酒を止めず、再三注意した神様に愛想をつかされ、天国を追い出されるまでのいい加減な生活を描く。さきの「河内のオッサンの唄」と同じく、方言が多用され、面白さを演出する。ヨッパライは東北地方の方言、神様は関西地方の方言を繰る。もしかして、方言が通じ合わなくて、ヨッパライは神様に天国を追い出されたのか？

Kazuhiko Kato, Osamu Kitayama, and Norihiko Hashida in Three Resurrected Drunkards (Nagisa Oshima, 1968) Cast: Kazuhiko Kato, Osamu Kitayama, Norihiko Hashida, Kei Sato, Cha Dei-dang, Fumio Watanabe, Mako Midori. Screenplay: Masao Adachi, Mamoru Sasaki, Tsutomu Tamura, Nagisa Oshima. Cinematography: Yasuhiro Yoshioka. Film editing: Keiichi Uraoka. Music: Hikaru Hayashi. Nagisa Oshima's attempts to unsettle his audiences usually took the form of serious explorations of social dysfunction like Cruel Story of Youth (1960), Boy (1969), and The Ceremony (1971) or sexually provocative films like In the Realm of the Senses (1976), but Three Resurrected Drunkards plays more like A Hard Day's Night (Richard Lester, 1964) than any of those often grim and brutal excursions into the dark side of contemporary Japanese life. It begins with three young men larking about at the beach, accompanied by a giddy Japanese pop song. When their clothes are stolen and replaced with others, the film goes off into  a series of mostly comic mishaps. But there's a dark side to their larking about from the beginning: One of their gags is an attempt to restage the Pulitzer Prize-winning photograph by Eddie Adams of a South Vietnam general pointing a gun at the head of a grimacing Viet Cong prisoner. They take turns playing the general and the victim as the third critiques the grimace on the face of the one playing the victim. It turns out that the clothes thieves are South Koreans who are trying to sneak into Japan to avoid military service in Vietnam. The Koreans have a gun, with which they threaten the three young Japanese. Along the way, they also get involved with a young woman and an abusive older man who may or may not be her husband. At one point, the film simply stops and starts over at the beginning, but this time the characters know what happened in the first part and are able to change things around. It's all a fascinating blend of rock movie high jinks and serious social commentary: Oshima is satirizing the Japanese prejudice against Koreans, among other things. Some of the satire is lost on contemporary audiences, especially in the West, but Three Resurrected Drunkards is a fascinating glimpse into its director's imagination and political indignation.

Guts of a Virgin - Kazuo Komizu 1986

#Guts of a Virgin #Kazuo Komizu #Daiki Kato #Kazuhiko Goda

[morporkian-cryptid]

I’ve rewatched Episode 0 – Jidai (Eng: The Times) recently. It hits very differently in light of Kiyoshi Kobayashi’s passing.

It's weird to think that in the last few years, several of the people who defined the Lupin III franchise have passed away. There was Yasuo Yamada (Lupin's first VA) nearly thirty years ago; and more recently Yasuo Otsuka (one of the key animators who helped define the series’ art style) two years ago, now Kiyoshi Kobayashi... and most importantly, Kazuhiko friggin' Kato aka Monkey Punch, the guy who invented Lupin in the first place, passed away in 2019. All the big names are disappearing one after the other.

And, well... that's sad, but also that's bound to happen in a franchise that’s 50 years old (55 including manga) and counting. And to me, it puts into light a happier thought: that this franchise has grown beyond what it originally was, and that it's continuing even without these people.

It's not like their passing were great tragedies striking an unprepared franchise and leading it to a crisis. Both Yamada and Kobayashi had trained a successor, and the passing of the flame happened smoothly. And Monkey Punch hadn’t had a hand in the franchise for years when he passed away. They all got to see Lupin III grow, and they passed away with the knowledge that it would keep going on after them. Kind of like parents would shape their child in his first years, but ultimately watch him evolve on his own, in a direction they couldn’t have predicted.

And that's exactly what Jidai was about, right? "When times change, I adapt. That's how I've always lived. But Daisuke Jigen is the only person who never said a thing, who always accepted me the way I was. He's the only stable thing in my life. And I think that's why I've always been able to stay true to myself."

It's about the passage of time and the gentle shift from one era to another, as things and people that we thought were essential disappear, but what matters about them, the things they created, live on and stay true to themselves. I’ve talked about it at length when Jidai aired, through the lense of Kobayashi’s retirement, and it’s still true, maybe even more so, in light of his passing.

Lupin III, as a franchise, is incredibly different today from what it was in its beginnings, in the manga or even in Green Jacket. But that evolution was gradual, and at its core it's still the same characters, with the same values, the same relationships, and that's what make Lupin Lupin. What Kazuhiko Kato, Yasuo Yamada, Kiyoshi Kobayashi and the others built is strong enough to outlive them. And I think that's beautiful.

#rip kobayashi-san #and here's to many more years of lupin iii #also i learned today that i know lupin's quote from jidai by heart #im not even surprised about that #don't mind me i'm just being emotional about my favourite old-ass whacky cartoon #no but seriously lupin iii is a fucking MONUMENT of japanese pop culture #it was the first - the VERY FIRST - anime EVER meant for an adult audience #it's a trope-setter for a bunch of tropes we now consider basics #(i heard somewhere that clarisse for castle of cagliostro was the beginning of the 'moe' character archetype) #*clarisse FROM castle of cagliostro #it has inspired countless other creators and has references in dozens and dozens of other series and movies #heck even friggin DISNEY'S DUCK TALES made a reference to lupin #if that doesn't tell you how influential this franchise is idk what c #*can #this goes way WAY beyond the chaotic criminal gremlin that kazuhiko kato created for a manga magazine fifty-five years ago #it's a huge cultural pillar that has influenced decades of pop culture worldwide #this series is fifty years old and it's still going strong #i can't wait to see where else the creators bring it.

After finishing the Holmes arc today, I can say that this wasn’t my favourite Holmes, but definitely far from the worst I’ve ever seen (looking at you, Steven Moffat)

My favourite will forever be Herlock Sholmes from The Great Ace Attorney.

---

-deep autistic inhale-

ACTUALLY! Do you know where the name Herlock Sholmes comes from? :D (please don’t take this as a “I know more than you” lecture and more as “French Lupin nerd gets to infodump about their special interest”)

He’s actually from the OG Arsène Lupin novels! Basically, Leblanc wanted to write a Lupin/Holmes crossover, but in his story Lupin won, and Doyle wasn’t super happy about his precious detective getting bested by a thief, so he asked Leblanc to take down the story.

To which Leblanc answered: “Sherlock Holmes? Don’t know him! This is Herlock Sholmes, my Totally Original Character That I Didn’t Copy Off Anyone”!”

And he got away with it.

Fast forward almost a century, and some guy from Japan named Kazuhiko Kato (aka Monkey Punch, you might ave heard of him) decides to write a manga about Lupin’s grandson. He tries to export it, and Leblanc’s estate immediately go “Nope, pay us royalties”. To which Monkey Punch and TMS answer “Lupin? Don’t know him! This is Rupan, my Totally Original Character That I Didn’t Copy Off Anyone”!” 

And they fucking got away with it.

Anyway I love the Doyle/Leblanc/Kato copyright loop so much <3

(Bonus: according to Wikipedia, Arsène Lupin was originally going to be named Lopin, except there was a campaigning politician named Arsène Lopin who heard about it and said to Leblanc “No the fuck you don’t”, to which Leblanc answered, you guessed it... “Lopin? Don’t know him! This is actually Lupin, totally different person, nothing to see here!” AND HE FUCKING GOT AWAY WITH IT.)

EAH VA/Seiyuus Part 2

For @sayuricorner's AU. Link to Part 1 here.

Same rules as my previous post, but I decided to look into more Japanese VA/Seiyuu's for this one. I also found a link for the Latin America VAs that I'll drop here because I had the hardest time finding Prudence and Charlotte's English VA (Erin Fitzgerald voices both of them) for some reason and they list both the English and LA VAs there.

Again this will be long so it's under the cut. Enjoy!

This is lilacbombsart now. Feel old yet?

Okita Souji has found genuine peace with his partner, "Yankee." But when he hears a rumor about him visiting the red light district, he fears he may be alienating him with his lack of experience. What's a young, (barely) chaste samurai like himself to do? A sex worker named Shino may be able to "teach" him something.

Night Lessons is my second attempt at a fancomic for adults. I'm really proud of what I was able to accomplish, and want to thank all the people who've supported me thus far. The comic is technically free to download, but any kind of financial support would be greatly appreciated! If you can't pay, please give me a review/feedback! I am always trying to improve.

Bakumatsu Yankee is a 1977 comic by Kazuhiko Kato, a.k.a "Monkey Punch". The series was later adapted into an anthology series of his work, called "Manga Katsudou Dai Shashin," a.k.a "Mankatsu". The anime series is owned by TMS entertainment and any similarities of this comic to it or the original manga are purely coincidental and based on artistic license. This is a piece of fan art (doujinshi) and any profit I make is a donation for support of its creation, and does not reflect my ownership of it or the characters.

[damnable-bell]

The water of the Imjin River Runs swift and clear Flocks of waterbirds fly by each other freely While our hearts are far away With our fatherland's southern soil The water of the Imjin River Runs swift and clear From the northern ground To the southern sky The flying birds are free messengers Who was it that cut our fatherland in two? Who was it that cut our fatherland in two?

Historical context from Japanoscope:

Imjin River runs between North and South Korea, through the ironically named demilitarised zone, where two armies eyeball each other off across one of the most heavily armed borders on earth. The song about the river was originally called Rimjingang and was composed in Korea in 1957 by Ko Jonghan to a poem by Pak Se-yong. The song found its way to Japan in the 1960s, with the Korean diaspora, where it was heard by a young writer in Kyoto named Takeshi Matsuyama. With the help of his Korean friends, Matsuyama translated some of the original lyrics and added two verses of his own. Matsuyama taught his version of the Korean song to [Folk Crusaders] group member Kazuhiko Kato. Both thought it was a long-standing Korean “traditional” song, rather than a fairly recently composed song with definite authors. The group arranged it into something quite new and attempted to launch it as their follow up song to the break out, and extremely odd, novelty single 帰ってきたよっぱらい Kaete Kita Yopparai. Unfortunately, Imjin River was deemed too political by the Japanese government and was effectively banned in that country too. The song, however, remains popular both in its original Korean form, and its modified Japanese form. It is a powerful statement of the pain felt by the partitioned people of the Koreas. The Japanese version also functions as a symbolic gesture by Japanese youths of the 1960s trying to break down the barriers that were often, and continue to be, placed around Korean communities in that country.

#back to posting songs from my 2018 playlist #이랑 #lee lang #busting this one out because i was listening to a podcast that mentioned arirang becoming a big hit in japan #so naturally it reminded me #the translation of the first two verses is my own 😊

A-T-2 415 Masami Tsuchiya - Kafka

With Ryuichi Sakamoto having streamed what may possibly be his final performance here's a track he pretty much does everything on for Masami Tsuchiya's debut album Rice Music. You can find some of the Sakamoto tracks I've posted this year using these links A-T-2 127, A-T-2 254, A-T-2 255. There's a 1982 Kazuhiko Kato album that Sakamoto and Hosono play on that was recorded at Compass Point which I'd love to hear, I don't think any of the Compass Point regulars were involved... I know how we imagine a record will sound is invariably better than the record itself but still...
