	Japanese Drama - MSN Encarta
		Japanese rulers, intent on imitating Chinese court etiquette, favored bugaku, both because of its solemnity and because of its similarity to Chinese court entertainments, and it quickly acquired a ritual character.
		The actors reach the stage by a passageway, called the bridge, which is marked by three pine trees.
		The greatest Japanese dramatist, Chikamatsu Monzaemon, wrote chiefly for the puppet theater, the artistic level of which is perhaps higher in Japan than anywhere else in the world.

		Today, the number of Japanese who appreciate noh proper is far smaller than that of those who favor kabuki, but those kabuki plays adapted from or inspired by noh plays enjoy a wide popularity and constitute an essential portion of the entire kabuki repertoire.
		Those writers were fully aware of the characteristic strengths and weaknesses of the individual actors as well as their dramatic taste in performance, and they took unusual pains to write plays capable of bringing out the superior talent of these actors.
		It is noteworthy that much of the dramatic technique in a kabuki performance is not what the contemporary actors have acquired by themselves, but is the fruit of accumulated efforts contributed by their ancestors for many generations back, and handed down to them by the principle of family inheritance.

	AnimeInfo.org - Otaku Dictionary (Part 2) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-13)
		Japanese connotations of this word tend to lean more towards the "important/significant and successful event in someone's life" when using this word, rather than recognizing personal achievement or minor good deeds.
		In Japanese mythology, the oni is usually depicted as a fearsome creature that is gigantic in size, has a tendancy to get angry easily, has horns on its head, and may or may not possess other "monster" like features such as multiple eyes or fangs.
		In the Japanese culture it also carries a derogatory meaning, in the context of being someone with no real social or personal life outside of the object of their obsession (much like the term "fanboy" or "nerd" in Western culture).

	Japanese Garb
		One advantage of Japanese heraldry (although that advantage is perhaps offset by its very nature) is the number of “new” charges.
		At left, for one example, is a Japanese carriage wheel (in Japanese heraldic terms, a “kuruma.”) In terms of stylist convention, it could just be blazoned as a wagon wheel, and the detail could be considered artistic license.
		As Japanese enclosures are set in their shape, unlike the European bordure which must by default conform to the line of the field, it would be best to stop calling them “bordures.” Granted, we submit and register badges on roundels; but are they restricted to round representation?

	Japan
		Some Americans report that Japanese police procedures appear to be less sensitive and responsive to a victim's concerns than would be the case in the United States, particularly in cases involving domestic violence, sexual assault, and when both the victim and the perpetrator are foreigners.
		Japanese law provides that all persons who drive in Japan are held liable in the event of an accident, and assesses fault in an accident on all parties.
		Japanese physicians can often prescribe similar, but not identical, substitutes to medicines available in the U.S. A Japanese doctor, consulted by phone in advance, is also a good source of information on medications available and/or permitted in Japan.

		Directed by Kon Ichikawa, the Japanese production takes a strong anti-war stance through a series of flashbacks to the horrors of battle, but uses hauntingly poetic imagery to convey the main theme of life's value and the need to atone for its loss.
		Japanese director Akira Kurosawa concentrates on evoking the vast remoteness of the Siberian wilderness, a world the Russian finds forbidding but one in which the hunter is perfectly at home.
		Directed by Abel Gance, the episodic narrative is heavily melodramatic, yet the sheer exhuberance of the actors and the monumental staging of the action carry viewers along in richly visual experience made memorable by Gance's innovative use of portable cameras and triple screens.

	New to Japan - General - New Japanese
		If you're a student of the Japanese language and you have any contact with contemporary Japan, you will no doubt have noticed words and expressions that don't appear in your textbook, or even in that comprehensive dictionary you paid so much for.
		The adoption and Japanization of English words by the Japanese continues at a heady and often questionable rate, and is looking and sounding more and more like a dialect, or a new language, depending on your perspective.
		Japanese teenagers, like the young in the U.S. and other countries, go out of their way to create their own clothing fashions and forms of communication.

		American voice actors tend to be shrill and to emote, badly, rather than act.
		Some voice actors seem inappropriately chosen for their roles, while others are excellent.
		Some of the younger actors (most notably Daveigh Chase, the creepy little girl in the disappointing American remake of The Ring, as Chihiro) turn in fine performances.

		I have heard and made the arguements about how Japanese anime is treated with a higher cultural standard over in Japan than "cartoons," which is what anything animated is lumped into over here, generally receive unless they are Disney.
		I have also heard and seen that Japanese voice actors, or Seiyuus as they are called, can sometimes rise to a level of fame unheard of over here for voice actors that haven't already established themselves through other means like Tom Hanks and James Earl Jones.
		It's also true that in many anime, the characters speak Japanese at a level that would be deemed kiddish or childish by the standards of typical Japanese inflection and mannerisms.

	Kyoko Koizumi
		Unlike other Japanese idols, though, Koizumi's popularity didn't wane with age as she continued to star in movies and make headlines into the next decade.
		In 1995 the actress agreed to a high-profile marriage with fellow actor Masatoshi Nagase, an event which many predicted would finally mark the end of her stardom.
		However, it was not to be, as Koizumi continued to work in both the music and movie industries, once again making headlines when she portrayed the villain Manami Hyuga in the box office smash Bayside Shakedown (1998).

		Of course, Japanese expect foreigners to be overly expansive, emotional, and be full of pie-in-the-sky ideals, and they're usually not disappointed.
		It's quite natural for students of Japanese to develop a short list of "favorite" words which he or she likes for various reasons, perhaps because of the way the kanji is written or what the word means, or how it sounds to them.
		I recently talked about how many Japanese professionals from businessmen to musicians to athletes seem to consider succeeding in the U.S. to be the Holy Grail of their respective industry, a kind of cultural Oedipus complex that we non-Japanese can't ever understand.
