The name Naomi is not reserved for cloth horses (Campell) and actresses (Wats). Our beloved drummer girl's (screen) name was Tanaka Naomi. :hehe:

That's right, I forgot about that...so, you're saying Naomi is a Japanese name...is it common?, or are the actresses just adopting it as a stage name?

It's a Japanese name, I'm pretty sure... There's a Japanese restaurant around here called Naomi... And I Japanese girl (Coleen Tajiri) I knew a ways back had a middle name of Naomi. :)

Naomi is written as ’¼”ü in kanji, which mean something like straight (righteous) and beautiful. I think it's just a coincidence that Naomi is also a name with African (or is it Caribean?) history.

An excellent explanation, indeed...just remember, there is no such thing as coincidence in this world!

I don't have that thing on the top left corner. Is the booklet on the bottom right corner included in the 3-disc special?

Been watching the Side Stories on disc 2 and I don't quite understand how some of the stories tie into the main movie... Like how the pantie thief story resulted in Tomoko get her iMac... Which in turn resulted in her getting the saxophone...

Still, it's pretty funny, but I wish I understood more of what was going on. :sweat:
