The flashback describing how Momoko’s loser low-ranking yakuza dad got them to where they were and her dream of living in 18th-century France (which explains Momoko’s penchant for frilly lolita fashion) were whimsical to say the least. Hey, just see the photo above with the moo-cow.

Kyoko Fukada (I’ve seen her in Karei Naru Spy and Fugoh Keiji) plays Momoko and the delectable Anna Tsuchiya plays Ichigo. The film’s aimed for teens, I guess, but it gives a concise insight into current Japanese youth culture. I think the film has a great soundtrack (it is Yoko Kanno) and thanks to it, Tommy Heavenly6 is on my regular iTunes playlist. Watch out for the piss-take on the eponymous departmental store, Jusco.

Kelakar siut.
