Two Japanese girls play frisbee on a lazy afternoon.. then, from a bionic stroke of luck, they end up fighting, wrestling, and shooting each other with squirt guns.. This is Japan. ;)

We had a lot of fun shooting this clip. Rented a Cube, bought a six-pack, and played around with ideas..

The physical size of the video is really small; unfortunately, my external drive crashed before exporting back to tape, so I lost everything. All I had left is what you see; a lo-fi export for web encoding… I’ve moved on..

In early January, Japan celebrates twenty-year-olds becoming adults. Coming of Age Day is time for them to dress up in kimonos, gather at the local city hall, and listen to bureaucrats tell them how important ‘adults’ are.

The new adults usually get drunk before, after, and sometimes during the ceremony since they’re now legal drinking age. They can also vote at the age of twenty, so in this clip we see some right-wing black busses shouting their opinions to the newly christened voters. The wing-nuts don’t like Communists, kissing in public, or parked cars in their way.

This Coming of Age Day is probably like any other; kimonos, rabbit suits, and big black busses..
