Major Asano Feature in Switch Magazine

Ooooh ... the latest issue of Japan's Switch magazine includes a major feature on Tadanobu Asano - who we like rather a lot around here - that includes lengthy interviews and a complete filmography of one of Japan's most interesting actors. Why does it matter to those of us here in the west? Because included with the article is a complete English translation by Don Brown, a kindly soul who has been sending us snippets of Japanese news for a good while now, and Brown is willing to send copies of the mag to non-Japanese folk who lust after these sorts of things for the cover price.

And in a completely unrelated bit of news also spotted on Brown's site Susumu Terajima has just taken on a job as an advice columnist. Really.

All the details are here.
