Kirsten Dunst's Anime Fetish: What The Hell?

All I want to do is make an MP3 of the song in question, but unfortunately, there's no way to do so with the video player used.

I could watch Dunst "turn Japanese" over and over and over and over and over and over....

Makes me want to pull out and watch some of my daughter's Sailormoon DVD's...

That's some horrible sentence construction.

Get Audio Hijack.

 

[Obiwanshinobi]

so thats where she's been. Japan! Kind of reminds me of The Killers video from few years back called 'Read my Mind'

I heard about this, and it's not nearly as awesome as those soda commercials Tommy Lee Jones did.

Kirsten Dunst has always irked the shit out of me. I don't get the appeal.

You are familiar, then, with the songs true subject matter...

 

[CorporalClegg]

Unfortunately, yes...

 

[Mr. Sin]

American celebrities do a lot of weird commercials in Japan.

www.japander.com has some examples...most notable are Arnold Schwartzenegger (Who promotes an energy drink), Nicholas Cage (Who goes nuts over some kind of gambling machine), and Charlize Theron (Who sells cars with a muppet).

Ok, Ok, OK!! I GET IT!! The communications professional can't write.

As for you Seph.. Bout time you acknowledged my return.. If you want those DVD's (included the not-released-in-the-US, Sailor Stars as well as the live version), you'll have to haggle with my daughter over the price..

Sure enough, as I said in the first post, here's a negative look at the video from one of the sites I mentioned:

At least she can sorta carry a tune.
After two viewings, that’s about all I can glean from Kirsten Dunst’s cover of “Turning Japanese,” which premiered late last year as part of an exhibition by Takashi Murakami at London’s Tate Museum. According to Anime News Network, the video is a collaboration between Murakami and director McG, which makes this – to give everyone the benefit of the doubt – somewhat puzzling as an interpretation of anything close to fandom.
Dunst, to her credit, has a history with the medium: she voiced the title character in the English-language adaptation of Kiki’s Delivery Service, and has expressed an affection for Sailor Moon – which explains the costume – in past interviews. But instead of presenting her as a Majokko (”Magical girl” or “Witch Girl”), MCG here threw her under the same bus Scarlett Johansson rode in on for Lost In Translation.

Sailor WTF? Kirsten Dunst's 'Akihabara Majokko Princess

 

[Wynterhawk]

I like her, but this... not so much.

 

[Peach Wookiee]

Dang, I missed the vid... But Kirsten Dunst with blue hair... Fascinating...

i did acknowledge your return earlier, you over looked it (i'm still waiting at O'Neill's) and I didn't say i would buy them, i said i was gonna Ninja them

 

[Vendikarr]

if anyone still wants to see this, I found it on youtube.

Eek.. Sorry I missed it earlier... I don't get to O'neils as much as I should.. Do you ever go to Gecko's or Two Fools?

 

[Sephiroth]

never been to Gecko's (where is it exactly?) and I've been in Two Fools once, i'm actualy not that much of a drinker, and I'm usualy at O'Neill's (when i can make it into Albu anymore) for lunch, the beef brisket sandwiches there are delicious

 

[Aragorn]

Wow, she actually looks good in this video. How recent is it?

 

[The Squire of Gothos]

and Charlize Theron (Who sells cars with a muppet).

Teaming her up with a muppet when they could have her like this?

That is not... logical

Looks like the video is no longer available.
