Sokaiya

[amnornes@umich.edu]

I've always wondered in the film companies have been caught up in sokaiya
shinanagans. I often hear great stories about the links between organized
crime and the film industry, going way back to the beginnings. Sensing my
curiosity over such titilating history, the Japanese historians always tell
me to write something (under a pseudonym) because it's "research only a
foreigner could safely conduct." Who says academia can't be dangerous?
