Hey, last night was TokyoScope Talk Deluxe: Bad Girls & Wild Women. It was our biggest show yet, and it went really well! Thanks to all who came! Before it was over, I got a request from someone to make a list of all the titles that I used for clips. This was a good idea, so here they are:
Female Slave Ship, 1960
Lady yakuza - red peony gambler, 1968
playgirl, 1969
stray cat rock: sex hunter, 1971
terrifying girls' high school: lynch law classroom, 1973
female yakuza tale: Inquisition & torture, 1973
zero woman - red handcuffs, 1974
Rica THE MIXED-BLOOD GIRL, 1972
SUKEBAN DEKA - THE MOVIE, 1987
WIVES OF THE YAKUZA, 1986
lady's documentary, 1990
majisuka gakuen, 2010
hard revenge milly, 2008
What else is going on? Well, it seems we still have some fetching limited-edition TokyoScope shirts (seen above) to go around. Remaining stock is now on sale at the NEW PEOPLE store in San Francisco, and we'll find a way to sell whatever is leftover via the web. Sizes are S-M-L-XL and price is $20.
J-pop Summit Week is in full effect now at NEW PEOPLE. Tomorrow, 9/15 at 6pm, I'll be moderating a discussion with 6%DOKIDOKI impresario Sebastian Masuda at 6%DOKIDOKI HARAJUKU KAWAII NIGHT. Then, Sat/18 at 5pm, I'll be hosting a "Let's Talk DMC" panel discussion. More information on this madness at the J-POP SUMMIT WEEK + FESTIVAL DAY page.
Thanks Patrick for the presentation and the list.
Can you give us a list of the trailers that you played before the show started?
Thanks.

Great fun. I liked that an iconic film of the lecture's theme was also played even though I've seen Scorpion a half million times. One question about the HK 'remake'; the DVD cover you showed had a BBFC-18 mark on it which suggests that there was a UK DVD release of the film. Do you know if one actually exists? I haven't found one with the few searches I've done.

shame recordings of these lectures don't seem to have been made, shared. also : wider access to any further tees might interest a lot of us.

Hey logboy, thanks for your comment. Audio and video recordings were made of all the shows. jaPRESS is looking into ways to best archive this material and make it available.
As for the shirts, NEW PEOPLE was the client, so they have first dibs on sales. There's about 75 shirts left, and they're being sold exclusively at the NEW PEOPLE store in SF during this week's J-pop Summit Festival. I want the remainder to be sold on-line if possible, but it is not 100% my decision. Either way, we will definitely be creating more apparel soon, and I'd like on-line sales to be a part of it from the get-go.

I'm very interested in the shirts; will be eagerly awaiting any announcements of whether they will be able to be sold online. Desperately wish I could have been in SF for the show, but sadly, Texas is too far away for it to be a quick jaunt.
