*Kamikaze Girls Background*
Kamikaze Girls is the latest pop-culture phenomenon to take Japan by
storm. It began as a best selling novel by cult writer Noval TAKEMOTO.
The book was adapted into a comic and then into a film, written and
directed by Tetsuya Nakashima. In Kamikaze Girls, he creates a world as
colorful as Momoko's sweets-filled lunchbox, infomred in equal parts by
slick TV commercials and sentimental Japanese girls' comic books
*Story*
Momoko yearns to live in 18th century Versailles, rather than in her
back-country hometown of Shimotsuma, heartland of the yakuza. To
escape, she loses herself in the dreamy, doll-like fashions of the
"Lolita" scene. Her idol is Akinori Isobe, chief designer of Baby, the
Stars Shine Bright - her favorite Lolita design house. She often
travels all the way to Toky to shop at the store.
One languid summer, to help fund her expensive hobby, Momoko posts
brand-name knock-off clothes for sale on the web. She encounters a
buyer named Ichiko, who happens to live in her neighbourhood.
Super-reble Ichiko is a "Yanki" style member of the Ponytails motorbike
gane, one of Ibaraki's wild speed tribes, whose teeth-rattling
customized bikes are decked out with shilers and backrests.
Somewhat against Momoko's will, the two slowly develop a strong
friendship as they share their feelings and embark on unexpected
adventures.
