Hanaikusa is just an hour long movie.
Inoue Mao plays the role of Mineko, a young maiko (apprentice geisha) in the Gion Kobu Geisha district of Kyoto.
The story is based on the autobiography of the famous retired Geiko (geisha) Mineko Iwasaki (who was one of the sources for Arthur Golden’s “Memoirs of a Geisha”). Iwasaki is also involved in the drama by personally coaching Inoue in the ways of the Geiko, and training the cast to speak the unique Gion dialect.
In December 2002, NBC played a spot featuring an interview with Mineko Iwasaki in relation to the Memoirs of a Geisha novel.
Flameknight7 made a mod that changes all the common infected to Teletubbies. The complete package comes with a sound mod and you hear the zombies saying “Eh oh” and at the end of a round, listen to the music.

Utada Hikaru fails to break into US with yet another album.
Utada Hikaru’s album “This is the One” failed to break the US market when it was released 5 months ago.
This was her third attempt to woo American listeners, herself being a college dropout of Columbia University and native of New York City. Her first attempt to enter the American market was “Exodus”, which sold around only 55,000 copies, a low number compared to her success in Japan, where she has sold over 26 million.
Will she ever succeed in making it big in the US or will Americans continue to give her the cold shoulder?
