This is one of the better Japanese films i've seen recently. Kyoko Fukada perfectly embodies a 'lolita-heidi of the alps' shibuya gal who lives in her own delirious world of baroque Europe. Anna Tsuchiya is OK as her butch sidekick who rides beat-up vespas.
Rapid-fire, color saturated scenes are spliced with cartoon sequences - leaving a syrupy sweet depiction of some of the Harajuku/Yoyogi park girls in japan.
If you've been yearning for a near mindless, yet amusing look at Japanese female counterculture with the editing, cinematography, and style of Trainspotting (sans drug use) and Run Lola Run, this might be your cup of tea.
