On another note, where I live there is a new channel for High Def TV. They call it the Kung-Fu Channel on the Voom Network. So far in the last month or more, they are broadcasting the old Zatoichi movies in high def. I am able to watch a couple of these a week. I am hoping to learn something from these movies. Since I am most likely to NOT need to learn how to wield a katana, or improve my swordsmanship - I'll concentrate more on Japanese language skills. JMM Thanks Z -

That being said, I know of some iaidō and battōdō kata which use the reverse grip for nukitsuke (drawing the blade) or chiburi (resheathing), but AFAIK kendō/jutsu never use it. But I digress... If you get the chance, check out Kitano Takeshi's 2003 remake: although I know it's blasphemy to some who consider Katsu Shintaro the True Zatōichi (let's face it - the guy played the character for almost 30 years and made some really entertaining movies), I actually preferred Kitano's interpretation.

In fact I bought the VCD version. The Takeshi version or interpretation was to move the story forward in time, and to toss in the absurd or at minimum exaggerations every so often. Other similar films include Hong Kong's Stephen Chow's great Kung Fu Hustle (2004) or the classic Mel Brooks helmed movie, Young Frankenstein (1974). I saw it. In fact I bought the VCD version.

This girl is so hot that I believe she could melt steel. For me, Sayaka dvds require two viewings at each sitting ... her trophy boobs completely capture my attention and then I realize that I need to watch again because I've missed out on gazing at her stunningly beautiful face.

This particular DVD may or may not be the best of the trilogy, but as you can see it made it into my column because she has it all - looks, figure, and personality. Thanks for reading my column and offering some responses. Much appreciated. JMM M - Sayaka is indeed a ‘must add to my collection’ type of idol.
