Subject: [KineJapan] Yamada Taichi
Message-ID: <AD2DC384-CFC7-4476-9709-A7CE9BF30B9E@yale.edu>

Yamada Taichi, one of the greatest screenwriters in Japanese TV history, passed away on the 29th at the age of 89. Yamada studied at Waseda University, where he became good friends with Terayama Shuji, After graduation, he joined the Shochiku studio, and studied under Kinoshita Keisuke. Under Kinoshita's recommendation, he started writing scripts for Kinoshita's TV dramas, and eventually became a freelance scriptwriter. He became a leader of the golden age of Japanese dramas  <>of the 70s and 80s, when scriptwriters like Mukoda Kuniko and Kuramoto So reigned over the TV world. His dramas such as Kishibe no arubamu, Fuzuroi no ringotachi, and Otokotachi no tabiji are some of the classics of Japanese TV history. While it is not one of his more famous works, I often show Shatsu no mise (starring Tsuruta Koji and Yachigusa Kaoru) in my TV class and it is excellent. He also wrote screenplays for film (Shonen jidai) and won awards for his novels. For an authoritative study of Yamada's work, you can read Hase Masato's book Haishatachi no s?z?ryoku: kyakuhonka Yamada Taichi.

------------------------------25 anni senza gioia n? lacrime: ritorno al cinema di Kinoshita Keisuke(25 years without joy or sorrow: return to the cinema?of Kinoshita Keisuke)International conference curated by Giacomo Calorio and Andrea Maurizi

Dec. 05 at 9:00 a.m.
December 06, 9:30 a.m.
(Rome Mean Time: UTC + 1h/CET).

Aula Martini (floor -1) - ?U6 building || Piazza dell?Ateneo Nuovo 1, Milano
http://s.unimib.it/kinoshita
Password: Yorokobimo

The purpose of the event is to celebrate one of the greatest directors of classical Japanese cinema on the 25th anniversary of his death. The title recalls one of Kinoshita's best-loved films, Yorokobi mo kanashimi mo ikutoshitsuki (Times of Joy and Sorrow, 1957), and indirectly the world of melodramas and comedies for which the filmmaker is known and to which we aim to return, while enhancing the richness of a much broader and more varied cinematic universe.

Indeed, the program reflects, even in the diversity of approaches proposed, both the abundance of the Japanese filmmaker's filmography and the pronounced eclecticism of forms that characterizes it, counterbalanced by a remarkably consistent thematic core that focuses on filial piety, childhood, youth, and above all on kindness and purity of spirit as opposed to authoritarianism, violence, indifference, and greed.

Work languages of the conference: Italian and English

Subject: [KineJapan] This is Huge: Upscaling Framegrabs to 300 dpi
Message-ID: <CANoSnpCOUVzafFyd5GoixK=0RJHDPRi4OYWK=JFZMG7UvYiP3A@mail.gmail.com>

I was prepping a photo for an upcoming publication and made a huge
discovery I'd like to share.

I had a photo I grabbed off the internet that I really wanted to use. I
secured the rights, but the online photo was only 72 dpi and 300 X 168
pixels. Small. Very small.

So I met the photo's owner and we took the printed photo to a place to get
a scan done. When I got home, I was shocked to find they scanned at 72 and
used a setting that blew out all the greys. Incredible. It was such a
production to get the scan done that I fired up Photoshop to play and see
what could be done.

I discovered that recent versions of Photoshop have the ability to upscale
photos. There are a few techniques to wrap your head around, so it might be
tough if you don't know Photoshop. But here is a tutorial that introduces
some key moves:

https://youtu.be/lprshxl46ac?si=2dgRkd4LVDXJTmTH

There are a few other tutorials out there. This is one of the more useful
of the bunch.

(I notice that Topaz and some other software is offering upscaling
functions as well.)

This is huge for our field. Framegrabs from DVDs and most digital movie
files are only 72 dpi; for printing on paper you need at least 300 and a
size set that's at least as big as the printed page.

Usually, when you expand the size of a small photo you get pixelation.
Photoshop can now smooth it all out! I was able to bump up the tiny image
to 300 dpi. There are various changes to the image, so it requires
tweaking. And I didn't test this much, so there might be unwanted artifacts
or changes to the image that would make image analysis tricky. But it
works. I think it's a game-changer for publishing in film and media
studies.

Dear Markus, I would be very cautious about this, because what these AI programs do is "invent" the image in the sense that they propose an image with the highest probability of resembling the real image, but it is still an invented one (everything from those 72 dpi to 300 dpi).

Therefore,  "it works" if what you intend is to show a striking image; but from my point of view it is inadmissible for research purposes.

Subject: [KineJapan] Thoughts on Revolver Lili on Pearl Harbor Day (spoiler
 included)
Message-ID: <CANoSnpDw6nisSXqfwFSA0cHCRCnyRTmahJozZ92gdpk26rDmXg@mail.gmail.com>

I caught Yukisada's new film, Revolver Lili. It's a noirish female assassin
film set the year after the 1923 earthquake and great fun. Very stylish.

https://revolver-lily.com

The plot pits the Navy's Yamamoto Isoroku against a nasty Army general.
Both are after a huge pot of money in Shanghai that only the assassin can
access?if she gets there before a deadline when the money goes poof. Said
money will decide which service dominates Japan.

If the Army gets all of it, it's an immediate war in China. If they split
it, Yamamoto says he can fend off war for a decade (before leading the
attack on Pearl Harbor exactly 82 years ago today, the real Yamamoto had
lived and travelled in America and was not into the idea of a war with the
US).

[spoiler starts here]

It's fabulous history, of course. But what really struck me was the ending.
The Army general is alone in his office talking to someone unknown on the
phone. He's reporting that he got his hands on the money and the other man
is quite pleased. Thing is, he's suddenly speaking in intensely formal
keigo, and the person on the other end of the line is not. One can only
imagine a single person the nasty general would grovel to: Hirohito. I
looked around at film reviews and no one mentions this, but such direct
pegging of the Showa emperor for war responsibility is incredibly rare. I
guess it was just ambiguous enough to slip through.

Has anyone else seen this? Am I misreading it?

I've used Photoshop's upscaling feature (and others, I might have
tried them all now!) to upscale frame grabs from video and to upscale
photos from the internet.

Mostly been successful, but whenever I have had them printed on paper
the people at the printing company that are tasked with keeping one
from making terrible printing decisions have invariably complained. I
usually have had to add some noise to mask the regularity of the
upscale process and that usually works sufficiently well enough to
make it work.

Obviously, this is only an issue if you plan to print things on paper.

"what these AI programs do is "invent" the image in the sense that they
propose an image with the highest probability of resembling the real image,
but it is still an invented one (everything from those 72 dpi to 300 dpi). "

In my experience, I haven't seen anything "invented". There's nothing in
the upscaled version that wasn't there before. What you mention exists, but
the ones that I have used have merely interpolated the spaces well enough
to fill things in for clarity. Like no one has grown a nose that didn't
have one before.

Obviously, that's a discussion to be had, but downscaling a photo seems
just as misleading since it wasn't at all what was intended. Taking away
could be as suspect as adding? I don't know. A terrible super 8 version of
2001: A Space Odyssey isn't at all what Kubrick intended.

Subject: [KineJapan] Women in Japanese Studies
Message-ID: <A68C11E7-AE2C-433F-84D8-706EC6326F07@yale.edu>

Some of you know that the book Women in Japanese Studies, edited by Alicia Freedman, has been published through AAS, featuring essays by some of the trailblazing women in Japan studies:

https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcup.columbia.edu%2Fbook%2Fwomen-in-japanese-studies%2F9781952636387&data=05%7C02%7Ckinejapan%40mailman.yale.edu%7Cb5f09cdb0c7d45da8a7d08dbfcf5749a%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C638381903374777621%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ihgblDjmptEBl%2BVTaag3jgleaYzVfoaZd%2FKStCsuKIo%3D&reserved=0

I wanted to mention it here because Maureen Donovan, a librarian at OSU who was key to the development of Kinema Club and KineJapan, is featured in the anthology. You can also see her in a video celebrating the launch of the book:

https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcup.columbia.edu%2Fbook%2Fwomen-in-japanese-studies%2F9781952636387&data=05%7C02%7Ckinejapan%40mailman.yale.edu%7Cb5f09cdb0c7d45da8a7d08dbfcf5749a%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C638381903374777621%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C3000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=ihgblDjmptEBl%2BVTaag3jgleaYzVfoaZd%2FKStCsuKIo%3D&reserved=0

It?s a moving account of the development of the discipline.

Congratulations Alisa! It looks absolutely fascinating. Looking at the list
of contributors brought back nearly 40 years of memories about 3/4 of the
scholars on the list. Their writings, their conference presentations, their
lectures at CJS, AAS committees, collaborations with some of them, working
in the same department with one of them, and editing the work of some of
them (including a great new forthcoming CJS book from Anne). Just as
important, their contributions include an ENORMOUS amount of invisible
labor behind the scenes during searches and tenure reviews. The letters of
rec and peer reviews from the women on this list are *golden*?lengthy,
engaged, serious, gracious. I look forward to reading this book.

Aaron, you mention a video but the link seems to be wrong...

In 2021 a posting here on KineJapan, regarding the 1932 film "Nippon", led to my ongoing collaboration with Dr Wayne Arnold of the University of Kitakyushu.

Following a presentation in Zurich in September on "Nippon" at the Aesthetics of Early Sound Film Revisited conference I am now pleased to share this link to further 'fruits' of our ongoing endeavours.

From nornes at umich.edu  Sun Dec 17 06:07:38 2023
From: nornes at umich.edu (Markus Nornes)

Subject: [KineJapan] 109 Cinemas Premium
Message-ID: <CANoSnpDu6exU-7r+WZkjfh_j+ew3M_x49G6armpEg9D7kBfvFQ@mail.gmail.com>

Yesterday, I went out to catch Killers of the Flower Moon before it
disappeared from theaters. A quick search revealed a well-timed show at the
new 109 Cinemas Premium. This is in the new Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, the odd
new sky scraper in the heart of Kabukicho that looks like it has frosty
spikes midway and up tip top.

This sits on the footprint of the old Milano Theater. This was one of the
grand theaters of postwar Tokyo. With 1,500 seats, it was a great place to
watch films. People still talk about their swan song in 2014, when they
showed all their biggest hits over the years on 35mm. The building went
down shortly after that.

The new theaters are on the 9th and 10th floors. I worried upon arrival, as
the first few floors are a very strange restaurant with a DJ playing anime
tunes, and a very noisy game center. Thankfully, the chaos recedes when you
go upward. The surprisingly small lobby has  stunning views of West
Shinjuku, a staff desk and kiosks. Huh.

I pull up to a kiosk, select the film, then my seat, and then the bill
comes up: ?4,500! I actually asked the desk attendant if that was for real.
He smiled and affirmed the price. This was probably my last chance to see
the Scorsese on a decent screen, and I was curious what this pricepoint was
all about. So I hit the buy button and entered.

It was interesting.

Low lighting. High end seating. Stunning views of Kabukicho, the Toho
Godzilla down below. It's an attempt at making the architectural space a
big part of the movie-going experience, not unlike the strategy behind the
silent era movie palaces. In interior corners of both floors, there are
spaces with completely different interior designs that evoke different
eras.

The million dollar view isn't worth the price of the ticket, but then I
discovered another part of the strategy. Popcorn and non-alcoholic drinks
are free and tabehodai. There's also a bar with beer, wine, whiskeys and
some mixed drinks, but those cost.

Over at one of the entrances, I noticed they were playing Merry Christmas
Mr. Lawrence. As I approached, I saw that it's a 35mm screening room, and
they'll be showing films on 35 into the future. (A sign outside warns
people that analog prints sometimes have scratches.)

The theater itself has steep seating and wide reclining seats, each with a
little table space next to the arm rest. There's a special trailer on the
sound system, which they claim is the best set-up in Japan. It was
"installed and checked" by Sakamoto Ryuichi, who gives a speech in the
sound system trailer. They are selling a lot of Sakamoto goods in the gift
shop, including LPs and programs from all the films he scored. The sound
was, indeed, good.

All in all, a wonderful, overpriced theater. Not sure I'll go again, unless
I really feel like gorging out on the popcorn.

The theater also had a strip of seats that were even wider, with wood
cube-like enclosures to separate you from the people next to you. I asked
about these on my way out. They're ?6,500 (!). But after the film, you can
move to an incredibly cush lounge with city views. The first drink is free
and the lounge is open until 3:00am.

I wonder if this will work?

BTW, the film was great. But I was annoyed at the subtitles. They pulled
punches around issues of race. For example, Scorsese's references to
anti-Semitism were all erased by substituting ? for "Jew."
Considering what's going on in the world today, I thought this was really
unfortunate and obnoxious.

They are currently showing the new Godzilla film. Thanks to projects like
this building, a couple of new hotels catering to tourists, and the Toho
building/theater next-door, Shinjuku is starting to feel like a shiny
Shibuya wrapped around a seedy Kabukicho. So at least one or two screenings
a day are showing in Godzilla with English subtitles. I was struck out how
many foreigners were at the theater. One other guy and I were there for
Scorsese, and everyone else was there for Godzilla.

 4,500 yen is about $31USD.?
As points of comparison...
Prices vary throughout NYC but Midtown Manhattan movie theater adult tickets are about $20...add in concessions and the total can easily soar north of $30 pp with no additional amenities.?
A recent experience in an upscale Bangkok theater ran to $60USD pp including all of the Tokyo?amenities and then some.?

Yesterday, I went out to catch Killers of the Flower Moon before it disappeared from theaters. A quick search revealed a well-timed show at the new 109 Cinemas Premium. This is in the new Tokyu Kabukicho Tower, the odd new sky scraper in the heart of Kabukicho that looks like it has frosty spikes midway and up tip top.

This sits on the footprint of the old Milano Theater. This was one of the grand theaters of postwar Tokyo. With 1,500 seats, it was a great place to watch films. People still talk about their swan song in 2014, when they showed all their biggest hits over the years on 35mm. The building went down shortly after that.

The new theaters are on the 9th and 10th floors. I worried upon arrival, as the first few floors are a very strange restaurant with a DJ playing anime tunes, and a very noisy game center. Thankfully, the chaos recedes when you go upward. The surprisingly small lobby has  stunning views of West Shinjuku, a staff desk and kiosks. Huh.

I pull up to a kiosk, select the film, then my seat, and then the bill comes up: ?4,500! I actually asked the desk attendant if that was for real. He smiled and affirmed the price. This was probably my last chance to see the Scorsese on a decent screen, and I was curious what this pricepoint was all about. So I hit the buy button and entered.

It was interesting.

Low lighting. High end seating. Stunning views of Kabukicho, the Toho Godzilla down below. It's an attempt at making the architectural space a big part of the movie-going experience, not unlike the strategy behind the silent era movie palaces. In interior corners of both floors, there are spaces with completely different interior designs that evoke different eras.

The million dollar view isn't worth the price of the ticket, but then I discovered another part of the strategy. Popcorn and non-alcoholic drinks are free and tabehodai. There's also a bar with beer, wine, whiskeys and some mixed drinks, but those cost.

Over at one of the entrances, I noticed they were playing Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence. As I approached, I saw that it's a 35mm screening room, and they'll be showing films on 35 into the future. (A sign outside warns people that analog prints sometimes have scratches.)

The theater itself has steep seating and wide reclining seats, each with a little table space next to the arm rest. There's a special trailer on the sound system, which they claim is the best set-up in Japan. It was "installed and checked" by Sakamoto Ryuichi, who gives a speech in the sound system trailer. They are selling a lot of Sakamoto goods in the gift shop, including LPs and programs from all the films he scored. The sound was, indeed, good.

All in all, a wonderful, overpriced theater. Not sure I'll go again, unless I really feel like gorging out on the popcorn.

The theater also had a strip of seats that were even wider, with wood cube-like enclosures to separate you from the people next to you. I asked about these on my way out. They're ?6,500 (!). But after the film, you can move to an incredibly cush lounge with city views. The first drink is free and the lounge is open until 3:00am.

I wonder if this will work?

BTW, the film was great. But I was annoyed at the subtitles. They pulled punches around issues of race. For example, Scorsese's references to anti-Semitism were all erased by substituting ? for "Jew." Considering what's going on in the world today, I thought this was really unfortunate and obnoxious.

Agreed :)

4500 with no nomihoudai for KOTFM is too much. I needed a drink badly.

109?s prices are only ?500 more than Toho?s premium tickets. The standard
tickets for ???? screenings at Toho Cinemas are ?3000 but the center of the
theater seats are +?3000 for a ?Premier Luxury Seat? or +?1000 for a
?Premier Box Seat,? so if you want to see Beyonc??s Renaissance or Taylor
Swift?s Eras Tour this week, there are ?4000 and ?6000 tickets for those
screenings. Granted, it?s not the entire theater, but this pricing has been
here for a while now. IMAX pricing in NYC ($27) is in the same ballpark. No
popcorn included.

NYC loses in most comparisons if you?re not rich, eh. In my book, that the
price is close to NYC only proves the point that it?s a waste of money!

Theaters at other parts of Tokyo would charge me ?1800-?2000 for similar
projection, but regular seats? Actually, ?1000-?1300 for this senior! lol

The 109 doesn?t indicate whether they participate in movie day or couples
prices. Actually, I was very surprised that they didn?t have couples seats.
It?s clearly a great date night spot. The pictures of the post-film lounge
do look intimate, with couches and splashes of lighting in a dark space.
Lots of photos online as well as YouTube videos.

I got to see Godzilla - 1 for $7.00 with a student discount.

Take that Scorcese!

This article is fantastic history, answering all sorts of questions I've
had over the years. It's a must read.

But one question remains vague, and that's the Kawakita's thoughts about
the Shanghai Incident (beyond the impact on their business), the rise of
Italian fascism and  National Socialism, and the political transformations
going on back home.

Did your research provide any hints?

Thank you for this impressive archival dig into Japanese cinema's first
major power couple!

Dear Markus,

My apologies for this delay in thanking you for your generous praise of our efforts.

Throughout our research there are hints here and there, but no overt political writing. The end of the 1932 diary, after their departure from Berlin, has them travelling back through China, with Kashiko writing down her brief impressions of the experience. That does not feature in our article.

Perhaps Nagamasa?s arrest (based on entirely spurious charges), interrogation and release very shortly before their ?honeymoon? voyage began led them to be mindful and so apolitical in their writing.

Subsequent journals written by Kashiko have yet to be explored in detail and perhaps this will encourage further work to be undertaken, not only on those writings but also on the period Nagamasa spent in Manchuria later.

With ?seasonal? greetings to both you and all subscribers,

Adrian

I saw Kore-eda's Monster at the same theater. 4500 was a surprise. They
never told me that popcorn and drinks were free, I brought my own drink and
nuts...

Hi Naguib,

Re: films with English subtitles, the situation here hasn't changed much in the past five years.

Unfortunately, I see no momentum. The SARS travel restrictions (now lifted) probably didn't help.

Perfect Days opened in Japan on 12/22, but there are currently no subtitled screenings in Tokyo.

That said, in addition to the offering at 109 Cinemas Premium Shinjuku, ???-1.0 is now screening with EN subs at Toho Cinemas in Shinjuku and Roppongi Hills.

Going forward, I would say your best bet is to follow Tokyofilmgoer <https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftokyofilmgoer.com%2F&data=05%7C02%7Ckinejapan%40mailman.yale.edu%7C8dcf94e75b9c442becbb08dc02e2e8ea%7Cdd8cbebb21394df8b4114e3e87abeb5c%7C0%7C0%7C638388421864748603%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJWIjoiMC4wLjAwMDAiLCJQIjoiV2luMzIiLCJBTiI6Ik1haWwiLCJXVCI6Mn0%3D%7C41000%7C%7C%7C&sdata=H4u0uvxH%2FGZ%2BRyAgl5XvnidZh1Fbv1ruE8Z0AAXUsKI%3D&reserved=0>, which announces all screenings of note with EN subs.

Regards,

M. Roberts, UTokyo

I wanted to wish everyone on KineJapan a happy holiday season.

As a little game, I was wondering what people thought about Japanese Christmas films. Kon Satoshi?s Tokyo Godfathers is often considered a good Christmas movie, but I wondered what people thought about that or other films.

good christmas film or not, 'tokyo godfathers' is certainly a good japan film.
i used it several times in a course on contemporary culture.  it gave students
a feel for urban life (far from the glitzy sort offered up by the media) that
broadened their perspective on what tokyo/japan/human life is all about.

Hi Jonathan,
Ironically - I have never associated even the title of Merry Christmas, Mr.
Lawrence with Christmas! It must be a gap in my synapses.

 Until the Lights Come Back ?????? (daiteden no yoru ni) (Gen Takashi,
2005) -- This is set on Christmas Eve -- about 12 strangers stuck together

pretty dim.

 My personal favorite Xmas film of all time (Japanese or not) is Okamoto's *
Blue Christmas* (1978). Not very romantic, at least not in the conventional
sense, but it's easily the wildest out there!

WIth best holiday wishes to all,

Rea
