I probably posted this many times on my other older blogs. It’s one of my favorite instrumental songs ever by Godspeed, You Black Emporer. :

Thaaaankkss, David, for sharing.

How I found this random vid is a bit of a long story, but Lyle Beniga’s the choreographer of this dance routine (I think he’s the guy in the center) and I thought this is one of the cleanest dance moves I’ve ever seen in a long time; next to Jabbawockeez. This guy got awesome timing and he’s just super clean.

Love love this song, now. [Thanks, Melissa].

Beat Takashi always end up playing a yakuza role in a lot of Japanese movies, for the reason that he plays it so well. This new movie (supposedly releasing in Japan this summer 2010) looks pretty good so far.

The story begins with Sekiuchi (Kitamura Soichiro), boss of the Sannokai, a huge organized crime syndicate controlling the entire Kanto region, issuing a stern warning to his lieutenant Kato (Miura Tomokazu) and right-hand man Ikemoto (Kunimura Jun), head of the Ikemoto-gumi. Kato orders Ikemoto to bring the unassociated Murase-gumi gang in line, and he immediately passes the task on to his subordinate Otomo (Beat Takeshi), who runs his own crew. The tricky jobs that no-one wants to do always end up in Otomo’s lap.
