Hyakuman-en to nigamushi onna (2008)

[Takuo Yasuda]

Dear Michael,

The word "Nigamushi" comes from an expression "Nigamushi o  
kamitsubushita youna," meaning "a scowl like he or she has bitten a  
bitter worm".  "Nigamushi" = "bitter worm" itself is an imaginary  
worm.  The character Yu Aoi plays is supposed to have a scowl all the  
time.
