Loose Your Head (2013, Germany)

Lose Your Head is a German movie, which reminds me of Stranger by the Lake.
Both of them were released in 2013.
The main characters of both movies arrive at a new place(one to Berlin, the other to a deserted lake) to find a mysterious man with secrets.
Even though both of them suspect that the mysterious man might be responsible for serious crime, each of them falls in love with him.
And both of them put themselves in the same spot with the precedent victims.

I am a type who cannot enjoy a movie fully, when the main character is not reasonable.
I don't know why but even when I was still a student I could not enjoy any movie when the main character is not reasonable.
For example, in the "Dancer in the Dark", why doesn't Bjork turn to police or other authorities when her money was stolen??? Women are not born to be reasonable or what??? Is that what the directer, Lars von Trie wanted to say???

For the same reason, I felt uncomfortable when I watched 'Lose Your Head' and 'Stranger by the Lake.'
The main characters are so in love so they are blind or choose to be blind.
I have yelled that "Run, you idiot" or something all through the movies.

But at the same time, I enjoyed both of the movies, anyway.

(Map updated!!!) Japanese Gay Beach 釣師海岸(Tsurishi-kaigan/Tsurushi-kaigan)

I came across two sites introducing gay beaches in Japan. Of course there are not enough infomations, but both of them mentioned "Tsurishi-kaigan" or "Tsurushi-kaigan" which means "angler's beach" literally. It is a secret beach in Chiba, surrounded by sea and cliffs. There's no other way to reach but through a small cave made for local anglers. So it's not safe and not easy to go to this place. And the place is not close to the nearest railroad station, Namihana(浪花) station. This place is not an official gay beach nor nude beach. But the surroundings around this area make it almost perfect place for gays. So if you're ready for all the troubles, read on. :) First, you can get to Namihana (浪花) station http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Namihana_Station via JR. If you start from Tokyo, you can go to Chiba station via JR Sobu Line. And then you can reach Namihana station via JR Sotobo Line(the next station from Ohara s

Most recent comics from Jiraiya

According to Japanese Wikipedia, the most recent comics from Jiraiya are following: 青い空入道雲通り雨【前編】（216号 2014年1月）青い空入道雲通り雨【後編】（217号 2014年2月）恋人たちのありふれたやりとり（236号 2015年9月） (c) Jiraiya (from his personal blog) This seems to be the cover page of first comics (part 1 and 2), whose title seems to mean "blue sky, fleecy clouds, and passing rain." Jiraiya explains on his blog that A(on the left) lives with C(on the left) and B(in the middle) is a father of C. I don't know how the story would go. And the following image is one of scenes of second comics, whose title seems to mean "lovers' very common give and take" or something. (c) Jiraiya (from his personal blog) As you can see, it has been a while since he published new comic. But my post on his comic is one of the most popular posts among mine and this motivated me to write this article. He regularly updates his works and everything on his personal blog but only in JAPANESE. :) Happy new year, guys.

Newest comic by Jiraiya

I did not know till today that Jiraiya released his newest comic, Two Hoses, a story about two firemen, through Big Gym (in Japan) and Massive (in US). The picture above is from Big Gym (a gay store chain in Japan) twitter. As you can see, this comic seemed to be based on his previous artwork, which was used for several items. (I really love this artwork, even though I generally love his artwork. Actually I love all of his artworks.) The 2nd image seems to be a promotional postcard. And the 3rd image is the US version of the comic. The image is from Massive.
