Previously Unreleased Footage (Behind the Scenes) :.
Running Time:
10min 7sec
4:3 Fullscreen
It's like a mini-BR:Gaiden! Another fantastic featurette made entirely
of raw behind the scenes footage. There's some gems in here including
more Fukasaku fooling about (He hits Sayaka Kamiya with the harisen
for not getting her lines right; He practically tortures Shirou
Gou who plays Sasagawa for not getting his line right; He makes
faces behind Kou Shibasaki as she fixes her hair in a mirror). I've
heard a lot of bad press about Fukasaku and how he treats the actors
badly, but from this type of footage, it does seem like they get
along fine. What else is here? Too much! Honestly, theres so much
great moments packed into this 10 minutes. Gouki Nishimura (Ooki)
plays the guitar and sings a song to the cast; everyone assembles
to watch the first showing of the theatrical trailer; Hitomi Hyuga
(Yuko) plays the parts of both Kusaka and Yukiko offscreen very
badly...Ah! This just needs to be seen!

Video No Oneesan - Birthday Version :.
Running Time: 3min 2sec
4:3 Fullscreen
My favourite
extra on the previous release was the complete Oneesan video so
it's no wonder that I was literally giddy with joy when
watching this. For Fukasakus brithday, a new version of Video No
Oneesan was made. The video is hilarious as Yuko Miyamura plays
her part with even more pep than ever. She takes the important items
needed for making the movie out of a bag: water, screenplay, Fukasakus
weapon of choice (harisen) and a megaphone. She also says that there
is a time limit of 60 days for filming. The Oneesan tape runs 1min
18secs after which we see footage of the actors presenting Fukasaku
with a cake and singing "Happy Birthday". It's another
great extra and an absolute joy to watch ^_^.
