Meiko Kaji: Sasori & Lady Snowblood (KILL BILL)

Monday, June 28, 2010

For KILL BILL fans and Asian film fans, I know that some of you also like Jeon Ji hyun/Gianna Jun, or other asian/cult/ grindhouse actresses.





When I remembered about the 70s especially the pinky violence. I remembered my favorite cult actress which is Masako Ota or known as MEIKO KAJI 梶 芽衣子.


I found out after I watched Hana to Hebi 2. I am curious about the original Hana To Hebi movie and I searched about pinky violence, pink eiga, roman porno and then I clicked a youtube related video to Meiko Kaji.


But still, thanks to Tarantino because Meiko Kaji became more active again in 2005 and fans posted vids and pics on the internet.

My favorite films of hers are:

the greatest exploitation/WIP (women in prison) film:

Sasori trailer

Lady Snowblood trailer



I have an account on youtube henyongsakuragi and my most viewable video is this:



The next video is not mine but this is one of my favorite songs of hers:



Cool opening of her short tv series:









If you wonder what is happening to her this modern times, just check it on:

and also there are pics on Meiko Kaji facebook.
Best of all, Just search her on google and google videos using Meiko kaji and if you want to know her more just search her in kanji:  梶 芽衣子 or   梶芽衣子

aah Meiko, you make Uma seem so insipid....

Nice blog,the slideshow was cool too. By the way, maybe you could post on Sion Sono's tribute to "Sasori" in his recent movie : "love exposure" . I had such a surprise watching it...
and last could you talk about or put some photos of meiko's film double suicide of Sonezaki just to urge people...

Thanks

@ Diego

Thanks for the info and comment.

I watched the trailer of "Love Exposure" in YouTube and It looks weird but when I read the comments. I think it is really good.

The movie didn't only gave tribute to Sasori but also to Sukeban Boy or Sukeban Deka and some scenes are similar to pinky violence.

I can't put photos of Sonezaki because I haven't watched it yet.

Kinocohotel also gave tribute to Sasori in their music video: キノコホテル「もえつきたいの
Just watch it on Youtube.

I am glad you also like those cult films.
