	Midnight Eye review: Akechi Kogoro vs. The Fiend With Twenty Faces (Akechi Kogoro Tai Kaijin Niju Menso, 2002, ...
		Kogoro Akechi is not the kind of man who would let anyone commit suicide.
		Akechi himself seems rather stupid here; in the novels, even when he seems to be trapped, he is always one step ahead of his enemies.
		Akechi Kogoro vs. The Fiend With Twenty Faces is more like the production staff versus common sense and the corpse of Rampo spinning in his grave.

		He is in fact the "Man with Twenty Faces," the villainous rival of Kogoro Akechi both here and in Rampo's stories, but this little detail is put to little use in the film.

		Luckily, Akechi is on the case once more, and again he proves that he and the Black Lizard are a very well-matched pair of adversaries.
		Akechi, on the other hand, is practically a caricature of the proper, straight-laced, and ultimately hypocritical Postwar Japanese Man, devoting every ounce of his energy and intelligence to combating the joyous revolt against conventionality that the Black Lizard represents, even as he secretly falls in love with her.

	Midnight Eye review: Watcher in the Attic (1976)
		Having already caused some stirs in certain critical circles with A Woman Called Abe Sada (1975), based on the same true-life story of sexual obsession and castration as Nagisa Oshima's better known In the Realm of the Senses, Tanaka followed it up with this freeform adaptation of Japan's most celebrated horror-mystery writer, Edogawa Rampo.
		Tanaka's Watcher in the Attic is more overtly erotic than the majority of these adaptations, and serves to highlight the more graphically sado-sexual component inherent in the author's work, which reached fever pitch in the 30s with a string of works that were dismissed by the critics under the catchall category of 'ero-guro-nansensu'.
		Set in a boarding house in Tokyo in the 1920s, the voyeuristic landlord Goda is the Watcher of the film's title, roaming the rafters and spying on the bizarre sexual encounters that take place beneath his roof between such colourful figures as a girl dressed in animal hides and an over-sexed Pierrot.

		There are many, many Edogawa Rampo-based films (and TV series) -- many of which are based on his famous detective, Kogoro Akechi (the same character from Black Lizard).
		Then we have Daiei's 1950 film, Maiden in the Ice Chamber, which was based on Edogawa's story "Kyuketsuki" (The Vampire) -- another "Kogoro Akechi" vehicle.
		The books and films were extremely popular, and were also remade into several tv series over the years (the first show from the 1960s ran for over 152 episodes) -- and there was also a teleseries based on the most popular villain from the books and film adaptations, "The 20-Faced Monster" (Niju-menki).

	Book of the Week: (01-08-07): Black Lizard / Beast in the Shadows (Edogawa Rampo)
		Rampo pulls it off, and the results are just plain fun—in fact, he goes so far as to make wholly blatant references to other works in his catalog, and in the gleefully excited tone of a man only too happy to share his secrets.
		Lizard is actually one of several novels Rampo wrote with a regular protagonist, Detective Kogoro Akechi, who matches wits with a whole array of criminals and has spent “several years abroad”, giving him a convenient repository of skills to draw on in his work.
		The fact that she can commit such a crime and get away with it is what matters most to her, much as Detective Akechi is professedly interested in “doing justice” but really just enjoys knowing that he can go up against someone like her and win.

	Nippon Cinema \| Rampo Noir (2005) Review
		This time Asano plays the role of Kogoro Akechi, a private detective investigating the mysterious deaths of women whose bodies are discovered with their faces and skulls melted with no apparent cause.
		It isn’t long before Akechi discovers each of the victims own the same type of mirror and he decides to pay the local mirror artisan a visit.
		This one was a fairly straight-forward Sherlock Holmes-style mystery in that the crux of the film was solving the who, how, and why of the murders.
