anyone can translate the storyline?
i'm not 100% sure as i've forgotten most of my japanese, but i think it says that 'miyo, played by fukada kyoko, is a primary school teacher who doesn't appear to get along with her students. then one day she is either blamed or responsible for an injury caused to one of the kids and she starts to think about quitting.
suddenly she hears a voice in her head saying 'you can do it'. that voice is the voice of her close friend from their kindergarton days called umeko. miyo then starts remembering an encounter she had with umeko.'
i think this series starts like this. i hope i'm reasonably close!

'Kamikaze Girls'
Dandy candy
THE ASIAN HORROR zeitgeist may be waning, but nobody better lay their stinkin' American-remake paws on Tetsuya Nakashima's Kamikaze Girls. This genius, endlessly entertaining Japanese comedy follows the opposites-attract friendship that develops between two teenage girls: Momoko (Kyoko Fukada), who dresses like Bo Peep and longs to live in 18th-century France ("Life then was like candy!"), and Ichiko (Anna Tsuchiya), a tough "Yanki" who spits, delivers impulsive head-butts, and rides with a gang called the Ponytails. The movie's breakneck pace begins with frame one – just try to resist a movie that kicks off with a cartoon hell-on-wheels type declaring, "My bike ignites!" before ripping into rock 'n' roll – and never lets up, shooting off on tangents to explain Momoko and Ichiko's backstories; peppering scenes with music and animation; popping in a dream sequence or two; and creating a world where fierce embroidery skills make one impervious to harm, even when surrounded by weapons-toting bikers who mean business. Kamikaze Girls is the most joyously goofy movie of the year – if I didn't hate the phrase "girl power" so much, I'd invoke it here. So I'll just say this: Go see the damn movie! (Cheryl Eddy)

do u mean the song when the credits roll?
its not Portrait by Tasty Jam, but its another song by LOVE PSYCHEDELICO called my last Fight
i suppose i can take some digicam pix, but the lighting/quality won't be as nice as a regular scan, and of course, it would be impossible for me to scan such a huge size...
give me some time, and i will try to get some kyoko-chan pix posted...the calendar is very nice this year...
