sayakawa
bobby came over this weekend to get l`omiyage for his trip back to good old T.O. (see you soon). Sat night, we both were so tired so opted for supermarket dinner and tv movie. usually there is an english movie on, but last night, to cheers of "wooohoooooooooooooooooo!" (mostly from one member of the audience......) Waterboys (U-o-ta-bo-i-zu) was on!
it came out in 2001, and was made by the same people who did Shall We Dance, which I loved. It`s apparently based on a real story about a boys synchronized swim team in the Tokyo area (?). The movie was such a big hit, I think every bunkasai afterwards referenced in some way. It`s just a really funny and sweet film, same kind of spirit as Shall We Dance, but more boisterous since it is dealing with high school boys.
But there was just one aspect of the film that was a bit unnerving...
...holy skimpy speedos batman!!
japanese boys are so. so. so. skinny.
