Haruki Murakami's novel "Norwegian Wood" was made into a film and it was a submission to the 67th Venice International Film Festival and got a standing ovation. In the story, the main character "Toru Watanabe" has just arrived in Hamburg, Germany. When he heard the Beatles'song "Norwegian Wood," suddenly his old memories of the 1960's came back with nostalgic and some sore feelings. The song is often mentioned in the novel because it was his girl friend Naoko's favorite song of .
In the movie, plays Toru Watanabe and Rinko Kikuchi plays Naoko. Some media speculated that Rinko Kikuchi is dating the director Spike Jonze who is known for "Being John Malkovich", and "Where the Wild Things Are". He is also Sofia Coppola's ex-husband. In Tokyo Rinko and Spike are seen a lot out in public as a couple. One story says they were seen dancing in Akihabara!
This in an interesting music video of performance group "world order". The main guy is Genki Sudoh. He was well known as mixed martial artist for K-1 befor, after retiring it, he became dancer, actor and writer, he wrote about some spiritual books, one of them was "talking to Bashar". Very interesting guy.

This is an article of Psychological Science: "Perception of Emotion Is Culture-Specifi". According to it, Japanese person pay attention to the tone of his voice, not his face. That’s what other Japanese people would do. Hmm when I read this article, I realized I can agree with that. I often judged mom or brother were in bad mood or good mood without seeing his face when I got home, just talk her/his tone of voice on their reply when I said "I come home!".

Nintendo won and that was the first case the game characters could have copyright in Japan.
