Japan's oldest and most famous women's magazine, a magazine that's been around for more than 50 years, "Josei Jishin" has run a news feature about "A Japanese Rock 'n' Roll Ghost Story"!
Josei Jishin translates into "Women's Confidence" and it is ubiquitous in Japan; you see it at all the banks, hair salons and doctor's offices. There isn't a person over 10 years old in Japan who hasn't heard of Josei Jishin.
On Saturday, July 18, 2015, they ran a news feature about "A Japanese Rock 'n' Roll Ghost Story"!

Here's the artist's (uh, me) rendition of the magazine jacket (subject to change without notice! Hee hee hee.)
The article starts out:
「一緒に日本のロック映画作らないか…」(Mike: "I'm making a a rock music movie. Let's do it together.")
「映画会社はどこなの？マイク」(Josei Jishin Magazine: "What movie production company is making this movie?")
「自分で作るのよ、僕が…」(Mike: "Uh, it's just me.")
「製作費は？」(Josei Jishin Magazine: "How about the budget?")
「お金ないよ」(Mike: "There is no budget. It's a punk rock movie.")
「えっ、、、、、、」(Josei Jishin Magazine: "What the f*ck????")
