[KineJapan] scripts/films based on novels

[Japanese Cinema Discussion Forum via KineJapan]

Hi Anne,

There are, indeed an amazing number of adaptations. Whether there are more
that other countries would be very hard to quantify with any confidence.
Needless to say, tyre are more than you'd even think. To get a good sense
for this, check out the following reference books, which actually list
adaptations.

Eiga, terebi dorama, gensaku bungei dēta bukku, by Etō Shigehiro
Tokyo: Bensei Shuppan, 2005.

Nihon eiga gensaku jiten = Original works of Japanese films. Tokyo:
Nichigai Asoshiētsu: Hatsubaimoto Kinokuniya Shoten, 2007.

Ego is. The more interesting book, but both are necessary since neither is
complete. Please check out Aaron and my research guide (now in Japanese!)
for analytical kaisetsu about these books.
