Yeah, it's unfortunate. :(

Swing Girls is the movie that made me interested in Japan and her culture and such. Hence I will always remember this move. Never opened my Limited Edition DVD, don't bare to.... :shamefulcry:

Why not?

No harm in opening it and watching the DVD... :)

Watched an interview with Shihori in which she claims she can properly put on a kimono in two minutes...
the interviewers and audience were amazed...
I personally would like to see some video of that...

Seconded. However, she has been wearing a lot of kimono ever since Swing Girls, all those jidai geki she was in, and now Chiritotechin. So I guess one becomes somewhat proficient after a while.

And yes, happy birthday to one of the highest skilled yet incredibly low key actresses in Japan.

I think two minutes is more than proficient... More like blazing.

She'd give Superman a run for his money. :hehe:

Well, I doubt it's anything that a geisha or maiko would wear, they need a second guy to help them getting dressed, it's not possible otherwise :P Especially maiko obi.

But a "normal" kimono even with obi, it's possible, if you're used to it. Even tying the obi is possible, there are a few tricks for that. The best part of this, though, is that she's, obvisouly, wearing kimono rather often, otherwise she wouldn't be so experienced. I like that. Kimono... rawrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr :naughty:

She really needs to make a kimono photobook... RAWRRRRRRR! :bonk:
