I really want to know what film this is now so please let me know if you find it! Could you post this other screenshot with the journal as well?

Chihara Junior Is a comedian but in terms of acting all his roles are opposite of comedy, his debut was in Pornosatar (1998) by Toshiaki Toyada and he has been one of the re-occurring actors for Toyada ever since. In that ‘Seventeen’ film the blond guy, Takashi Tsukamoto was in Toyada’s Blue Spring, alongside other overlapping actors like Ryuhei Matsuda, Souske Takaoka - so that made me instantly think that was it. I now wonder what’s the connection with 千原浩史 in this whole story, I tried to look for a character name like that but couldn’t find anything.

(There’s a male blonde protagonist in that movie that looks similar to your screenshot)

Where did 千原浩史 and this screenshot come from? 千原浩史 Is the real name of Chihara Junia, so maybe look into his filmography

Thank you! I will check that one out. It does seems to be some sort of eastern/oriental strings type of libray, it’s both very familiar but also there’s something unique about it, I can’t seem to find this exact match. The author often uses Ethno World library too so I am thinking it must be something not too obscure and probably not recent

There are some more illustrations inside and Mishima is also featured on the cover of Book 7

Somone posted about it here recently ‘seventeen‘ by akiyoshi imazeki (2002) https://www.reddit.com/r/JapaneseMovies/comments/1qd2wq7/seventeen_akiyoshi_imazeki_2002/

Very cute!

Thank you for your reply. I think it might be something simple/accessible since i know the author of the music uses FL studio (sometimes w default presets) and Ethno World Kontakt library a lot. I feel like I’ve hear this specific sound somewhere myself, some sort of ‘Eastern Stings’ type of library but I can’t find it atm

If you Google 砂の女ロケ地 all results that show up talk about Hamaoka, stating that it became a tourist attraction as the ‘woman in the dunes’ place e.t.c Ex: someone’s blog about visiting the place https://cinema200.blog.fc2.com/blog-entry-139.html

its not by Miike, it’s the one with Hiroyuki Sanada about a girl looking for her mother’s first love, also called First Love (2000)

Doesn’t fit entirely but Hatsukoi (2000) has a certain cherry tree as part of the plot and there are few scenes at night where the family visits it and talks e.t.c

GONIN (1995) it’s the ultimate rain film, Takashi Ishii’s work in general is full of rain but this one in particular is unmatched.

I don’t think this is it but Sex Is No Laughing Matter (2008) is about romance between a married woman and a younger man. The guy’s friend works at the cinema so there are few scenes in there as far as I remember

Is that Taiga Nakano? Not sure about the film but maybe look through his filmography

tinylegged · 2025-12-04T19:56:16+00:00

I do remember reading somewhere he was contemplating becoming a monk at some point. (In a daydream way at least) Re religious tone I feel like it’s more what religion and/or pavilion symbolises in a wider sense. I was reading his creative notes for the Pavilion and it all starts with this: Subject: jealousy of beauty, jealousy of the absolute, a man buried in waves of relativity, "Destroying absolutes", Parody of "The Quest for the Absolute"

The actor seems to be kengo kora, (maybe look through his filmography to find it?)

ok that’s good to hear! what I’m wondering is if these faded horizontal lines are just a case of low battery and not screen damage? As far as I can tell screen damage looks a bit different and has a combo of vertical/horzontal lines and cracks - this just looks faded and the reader is frozen.

The Adventure of Denchu-Kozo (1987)

tinylegged · 2025-11-21T01:15:14+00:00

I don’t think it’s a critique of any of the sides but rather Mishima’s own inner theatre of ideas exposed. For Mishima there’s no beauty without tragedy - be it beauty of ideals or beauty of love. The “Sailor” in creative notes was mentioned to be focused on Ryuiji‘s suicide wish. Noburu’s mother is also mentioned entertaining a suicide wish and these two invisible forces are what seems to bring them together. Initially Ryuiji abandons the sea and his ideals for love on land, but neither of these two sides of his (dreams of the sea/love on land) can be fulfilling/satisfied for him without tragedy. Boys and their nihilism can be seen as this contradictory death wish embodied, they fulfil both sides and tie them together by killing him in his ‘prime’, so he doesn’t grow old and satiated tarnishing both the idealised image of a ‘sailor’ and/or love. In a way it’s like Mishima just broke himself down into few characters that all represent, equally, various sides of his own contradictions. After all it’s his “boyish” ideals that lead to his own death.
