I do worry about originality. Readers send me some great links, but I've often already seen them on lots of sites. If I'm going to put up only one post per day, I hope it's something new, or at least presented in a new light. Hence, I felt like the Japanese video couldn't stand alone as the only post for a day.</p> Understood. I do worry about originality.

I am curious about the movie.

I love your site and would never suggest that it was unoriginal. Keep up the good work.

Great detective work Jim. I would feel used for spreading a viral video, but I doubt the movie will be released in America, and if it is, that many people will see it (those pesky subtitles making people read).

I don’t normally post a standalone video because it’s unoriginal, but it was an extra item after my “real” post had already been published yesterday, so this was one viral infection that just seemed like harmless fun.

Check out the top of the Google Translated page for one of the addresses at the end of the clip (http://www.nanokakan.com):

http://translate.google.com/translate?hl=en&sl=ja&u=http://www.nanokakan.com/&sa=X&oi=translate&resnum=1&ct=result&prev=/search%3Fq%3Dhttp://nanokakan.com/%26hl%3Den%26sa%3DG

“[bairarumubi] is something which to the last is produced the promotion of the movie as purpose, the story of movie main part altogether there is no relationship. As for the trailer of movie main part, please view with this.”

The other site tsubakiyama.jp is down so you can’t see it.

This appears to be the Wikipedia article for the actress: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emi_Wakui

It includes the notation that her most recent film was:

“2006 Tsubakiyama kachô no nanoka-kan”

The title meshes with the addresses at the end of the clip (http://www.nanokakan.com and http://www.tsubakiyama.jp).

It is definitely not a breastfeeding commercial, but I have no idea what the movie is about. IMDB lists it as a comedy, drama, fantasy, but doesn’t have a plot synopsis.

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0872027/

This is spreading quickly AS a breastfeeding commercial and I don’t know what that says about us that we think it is. That may be a more interesting question.

I think I was expecting something a little less violent than sibling rivalry and murder... esp. when the intro is so sweet.</p> I’m oddly disturbed by that, still.
