Last Bill Translation

[drainer@mpinet.net]

  I think that Japan is so dynamic that the terms "Japanese culture" or even
"Japanese identity" have become rather problematic.

  Anyone else feel this way?

 As for why these three films are floating around all at once, I would
venture to say it was just a side-effect of gross national cool. The
more Japanese culture gets absorbed and engrained in the US, the more US
cultural products will reflect this influence.
