...Kyoko and Mika Kano insist they never sought fame. Half sisters (they have the same father), the two former beauty queens say they led glamorous but fairly obscure lives until 1997, globe-trotting as sometime models and owners of a wholesale gem-buying business. Then the upscale women's magazine 25ans profiled them in a feature about luxurious lifestyles. A flood of reader interest led to regular columns showcasing the sisters' beauty-product and fashion picks. An empire dedicated to all things Kano has followed?exercise videos, calendars and coffee-table pictorials, featuring the two preening mostly naked before...
...more the closer he becomes to his new friend. And so, for Bobby, the summer, his magical Atlantis, passes with a series of startling revelations and changes in perception.

...Japanese filmmaker Kaze Shindo's first film Love/Juice, an am-I-or-aren't-I lesbian story that won her Rookie of the Festival award in Berlin three weeks ago. Interesting territory even for Japan: two roommates, lesbian photographer Chinatsu (Okuno Mika) and friend Kyoko (Chika Fujimura), do drugs, sleep and brush teeth together. Chinatsu quickly falls in love with Kyoko. They kiss and touch one another - Chinatsu shows the uninitiated Kyoko how to masturbate - but the latter recoils from physical love. A stronger movie would have started where this one leaves off, but it's a compact, spare tale...
...Springfest featured one major act-swing band Big Bad Voodoo Daddy-which followed about four hours and five bands worth of Harvard talent. I was lucky enough to catch a glimpse of just about every band, which included Fink Fank Funk, S. Ocean, Nano, Jeff Heck, 98% and Mika Pauley, each offering a unique music style to balance the deluge of swing that was to come...
