KAMIKAZE GIRLS (2004), directed by Tetsuya Nakashima and based on Novala Takemoto's novel, is a cult Japanese comedy now available on region free Blu-ray with English subtitles.

Meet Momoko (Kyoko Fukada from The Ring 2 and Dolls), a self-absorbed dreamer who fantasizes about fleeing her backcountry home and living life in 18th century Versailles. When she unexpectedly meets the rebellious Ichigo (Anna Tsuchiya from Dororo and Sakuran), a rough-and-tumble biker chick, the two misfits form a unique friendship together, nothing can stop them!
