Yukiko Inoue in Shiota's Canary

[J.sharp]

Just quickly as I rush off to another Christmas dinner with relatives
somewhere, I've got nothing much to add to Jason's post, except that at the
FilmEx 2004 premier of CANARY, Shiota did announce that he had met Inoue
after the previous year's screening of Shimizu's JAPANESE GIRLS AT THE
HARBOUR, which is when he asked her if she would like to appear in CANARY,
which he hadn't yet shot at this point.
