Now this is a real geisha movie! If you're like us, and are huge fans of Memoirs of a Geisha and were hugely disappointed by the Memoirs of a Geisha movie you must watch Sakuran. Sakuran is everything Memoirs is not, and instead of focusing on the high class geisha it is centered around the life about a geisha brought into the life of a lower level geisha, a prostitute. Sakuran really brings the story of a geisha's life into an incredibly beautiful and hyper-colored world.
MOVIE SYNOPSIS

Years later, the girl turns seventeen and changes her name from Kiyoha to “Higure” making her first step as the number one oiran in Yoshiwara.
TO DIE FOR! Like our favorite anime, have your own Persocom just like Hideki has in CHOBITS!
So you are probably wondering if a rabbit can really be "smart"? Well this bunny can teach you tai chi, read your e-mail, report the weather or stock market, pull RSS feeds and tell you the time. We'd say that's pretty smart - but he's also got personality. Nabaztag can move his ears, play music, talk and whistle, and his body can show off hundreds of colors and special patterns of light. Sometimes he will even have his own random things to say, as long as you can put up with his moods!
We are huge fans of Junko Mizuno here at Hello Drama. Make sure to check out her manga
Keiko the director
Keiko is the Director of the Over Eaters Treatment Center 102. Her origins are a mystery, and she behaves irrationally violent, a likely side effect of her dependancy on 'liquid apple.' PICK Her up at kidrobot.com
Kaori: The Nurse
Kaori is an intelligent and responsible nurse, who has found herself working at Center 102 under the direction of the twisted Keiko. If I had the time I would love to have this costume for Halloween!
