Kazumi Nonaka’s original poster art for my “TokyoScope Talk Vol. 1 Yakuza Night Fever” event popped up for a bit last Friday on the TV Tokyo show “Takeshi no Nippon no Mikata” (AKA Takeshi’s Way of Looking at Japan) in a segment on overseas interest in yakuza culture.
As the combined power of TokyoScope, Pulp magazine, and the Tattooed Hit Man began to light fires in garbage cans all over the Kanto region, host Takeshi Kitano was heard to say, “being human is normal, and violent expression like yakuza movies is necessary as a catharsis”.
To which we quote Omar Epps in BROTHER, "I loooooves you aneeeee-keeeee!"
