Holy crap! That's interesting, especially since this story takes place in 1998 (something I couldn't figure out, but since it dovetails with one of my other favorite parts of Japanese pop culture, Resident Evil I just assumed 98 was a good year for Japan). I'll have to do some more research, but that's really fascinating!
