Tetsuya Nakashima’s “Rolling Bomber Special”

Another great YouTube find here. Tetsuya Nakashima has gained a worldwide audience for his whimsical and over the top films “Kamikaze Girls” and “Memories of Matsuko”, but here’s a seven minute short by the director that some of you may have missed. “Rolling Bomber Special” originally aired as part of the “SMAP Short Film” segment on “SMAPxSMAP” back in 2005. It features Katori Shingo, one of the members of the über-boy band as a young man targeted by a Power Rangers-esque group of crime fighters who are convinced that he’s on a mission to destroy the world. This is truly comedy gold, so sit back and enjoy!
