    Pretty much impressive collection of news archives. Did you collected all that on you tube?

    By the way, have you ever read the book by Tachibana Takashi “Chukaku vs Kakumaru(中核vs革マル)”?

    An indispensable book about some frictions of new left. Especially if you want to understand about Uchi-Geba.

    Tachibana’s book has shortcomings but it is a incredible informative book which gives solid background knowledge about this time.

    Something what I forgot to say, also a difficult book to read it till the end.

    It is really reading like some splutter horror stories.

  3. M-Bone Says:

    Since we are recommending stuff, I think that everyone who is interested in this should watch Oshii Mamoru’s delightful parody of the student movement “Seven Days of Fire” – one of the Mobile Police Patlabor “new” OVAs. The head police mechanic finds the maintenance squad’s mountain of porn, burns it, and sets off a descent into ideology based factionalism…. including a dozen violent splinter groups, all with unique helmets…. Oshii did a similar thing in “Urusei Yatsura” but I can’t remember in which TV episode or movie.

    Takahata Isao’s “Ponpoko” is also widely read as a commentary on the self-destruction (including tenko) of the Japanese left…. now available on Disney DVD.

    The videos embedded in this post have had their wires crossed. What I just watched are some segments from Watashi wo ski ni tsuretette. If you fix it, would you mind letting me know? Thanks.

  5. W. David MARX Says:

    Should be fixed now. Thanks for letting us know.
