  Araki (or to be more accurate, Araki's photos - since I don't know him in person - LOL) - had a big and important influence on my life, since his photos opened my eyes to completely new way of seeing things, and first of all, for the unique beauty and the sadness of Japan.
   
  There was a lovely exhibition "À LA VIE LA MORT" of his works some time ago in Charleroi, Belgium - and amazingly this exhibition was still able to provoke people (yay~ !)
  Here is a photo that I made: People threw paint balls on the main poster of the exhibition building (Museum of Photography) xD.

  mmm...
  I find the works of Araki very interesting but I especially take a fancy to his more urban photography [couldn't think of any other way to describe it because I'm speechless whenever I am confronted with the images] which I find extremely enchanting!
  
  I have managed to grab a copy of 東京夏物語 / 'Tokyo Summer Story' and 'Subway Love'... every time I pick them up the books don't touch the shelf again for at least 2 hours!!
  
  The compositions / the timing / the atmosphere / the people / the realness, is always there.
  
  Maybe I liken to these series more as I have been brought up in a metropolis and perhaps also as I can only experience Japan as a foreigner?

  Wow! www.amazone.com Thanks a lot !
  This is one of my favarite movie!
  Though this package is too cheap^^
  (Please compare it with the one of Japan.)
  The artistry of this movie is very high.
  
  The Japanese title is "愛の新世界 Ai No Shinsekai",
  Original is Araki's photography book name .
  Araki just can not be ignored in this movie.
  His work not only was used , but also he acted himself and took a shot of actress Sawa.
  
  This movie might not have been able to be made without his influence. In such a meaning, this movie work is collaboration of the director Banmei Takahashi and Araki.
  
  Sawa Suzuki was new face at that time.
  
  Other casting ：
  Theatrical company 大人計画Otona-Keikaku(松尾スズキMatuo Suzuki、宮藤官九郎 Kudokan、阿部サダヲ Abe Sadawo)
  For recent years they became very famous actors in Japan

  I can't find his books anywhere either, anyone know where to get them? I was actually in Portland last month and even Powell's didn't have any!

  Me too. I'd just like to know where I can find books featuring his work. It sounds like they're pretty expensive.
