Hi, did you know that amazarashi's 14years is based on a book of the same name by the Japanese author Chihara Junia? Has anyone read this and can tell me what the story is about? 14 is my favourite amazarashi song so I really want to read this book now. It's kinda hard to find but you can find it on amazon if you search from google. Anyways, just wanted to share that knowledge with the english speaking amz community!
Wow, I didn’t know that. Thanks for the information! I haven’t heard of the book before, it seems tricky to find.

Toshiaki Toyoda’s “Unchain” proves that a documentary about a loser can be utterly compelling
Films and documentaries about underdogs that manage to win, or people who were winners all their life is something common in cinema. Toshiaki Toyoda though, chose to deal with the exact opposite subject, a group of people (Tetsu Garuda, Seichiro Nishibashi, Osamu Nagaishi) headed by “Unchain” Kaji, who do not seem to get a break from the day they were born.
As the story unfolds starting with Kaji, we learn of his unfortunate life, which actually initiated from birth. His parents abandoned him when he was an infant and he was raised by his uncle, although he did not know that until he became 18. His uncle eventually died and he took up boxing, without, though, managing to win even once, as he retired with a record of eight losses and one draw, after severe damage to his eye. As he tries to start a new life as a civilian, his situation becomes even worse, despite the efforts of his friends.
Toyoda followed Kaji and his friends for four years, recording their lives, which, despite their occasionally desperate efforts, do not seem to improve. Particularly in Kaji’s case, his life is a never-ending downward spiral, as he seems to survive just by the faithfulness of his friends. Even that though, is not absolute.
The documentary includes slideshows from the plethora of photographs the four friends have taken together and individually, while a large part of the duration shows live video from their fights in the ring. There are also some cinematic sequences with actors, which, as Toyoda explains in an interview included in the release, were used where the actual testimonies were not “strong” enough.
Once more in a Toyoda production, music plays a very important role, with the recurring theme of a Japanese remix of “Unchain my Heart” by Ray Charles (Kaji actually took his nickname from this song), being the perfect soundtrack for the footage presented on screen, along with a number of others alternative tracks. Chihara Junia’s narration is also a perfect fit for the film’s aesthetics.
As the 98 minutes of the film ended, I could not exactly describe its appeal and the reason I could not take my eyes off the screen for its whole duration. Evidently, Toyoda manages to appeal to a sentiment that I did not even know existed, and that is, in my opinion the film’s biggest success.

Toshiaki Toyoda’s feature debut “Pornostar” was a distinct sample of what was about to follow
Using crime-filled Shibuya of the 90’s as his setting, Toshiaki Toyoda presents a true guerilla film, which frequently functions as a music video.
The film starts with a mysterious, almost catatonic young man named Arano, walking in the street and bumping everyone around him, in a more violent edition of The Verve’s “Bittersweet Symphony” music video. Eventually, he stumbles upon Kamijo, a young club-owner who struggles to stay away from the Yakuza, despite the fact that he is kind of a gangster himself. Through a series of violent episodes, Arano ends up in Kamijo’s group, as the latter appreciates his knack for violence. Their relationship though, is anything but smooth.
Toshiaki Toyoda presents a world where violence is the rule,  where every man seems to be a gangster or on his way of becoming one. This world seems to be a perfect fit for Arano, who emits ferocity and blood from every pore of his body. Despite the fact, he does not seem to enjoy the setting or his circumstances, since his only purpose is violence, particularly against Yakuza, for no apparent reason at all. In that fashion, the film contains a number of extremely brutal scenes, where knives seem to be the weapon of choice, with the one where Arano comes across Kamijo’s archenemy being the most impressive and the most savage of all.
As usual in Toyoda’s films, some surrealism is also involved, while the characters’ motives are not always clear, particularly in the case of Arano. Women, clearly, hold a secondary role, and Toyoda seems to mock the sultriness that usually characterizes them in similar films, particularly with the character of 5-star Pussycat.
Music plays a very important part in the film, with a number of alternative rock tracks by Dip providing a fitting background for the ragtag surroundings of Shibuya and the many action scenes. Along with some slow-motion sequences that occasionally appear in the movie, “Pornostar” frequently functions as an extreme music video.
The production is obviously low budget, but Norimichi Kasamatsu does a great work of portraying the decaying and moody atmosphere of Shibuya on the streets and the motley colors of the interior settings, like clubs, and toilets in bars. Toshihide Hukano’s editing keeps the film flowing and exemplifies the violence of the action scenes by rapidly changing perspectives of the same scene. Overall, the production values seem to benefit the most by Third Window’s HD edition, which makes the film seem and sound better than ever.
Chihara Junia gives a great performance filled with aggressive silences, as Arano, impressively portraying a character whose sole purpose seems to be violence. Onimaru also looks good as the smooth but struggling low-rank gangster Kamijo. Akaji Maro provides a cult element as the Yakuza Boss. Kiyohiko Shibukawa holds a small role as one of Kamijo’s underlings, but still manages to stand out, with his goofy smoothness.
“Pornostar” is not a masterpiece, but it is a very entertaining film that flows smoothly, and a great place for someone to start his association with Toyoda’s filmography.
