Los Angeles festival to host international premiere of Lupin the 3rd

The Japan Film Society announced on Wednesday that it will host the international premiere of the live-action Lupin the 3rd film and Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno at the 4th Annual LA EigaFest in Hollywood during the September 12-14 weekend. Lupin the 3rd will open the festival, and Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno will close it.

The live-action Lupin the 3rd film follows Lupin and his partners in crime before they became a gang. They infiltrate the high security of the Ark of Navarone, a gigantic fortress-like safe, to lay claim to the Crimson Heart of Cleopatra within. It is said that whoever possesses this treasure shall “unite the world.”

The film will open in Japan on August 30.

Rurouni Kenshin: Kyoto Inferno, the first of two live-action Rurouni Kenshin sequel films, opened in Japan on August 1, and it will be followed by Rurouni Kenshin: Densetsu no Saigo-hen (Rurouni Kenshin: The Legend Ends) on September 13.

slett’s favourites from the lupin iii OSTs:

1:lovin’ you (lucky) | tommy snyder | red jacket series

even if fujiko is my least favourite character, my favourite lupin track, bar none, is a love song about her from lupin’s point of view:
I’ve got my Kings and Aces 
And I’m winnin’ at the races
But I ain’t lucky if you don’t love me 
So maybe I’ll keep tryin’
Till my luck starts turnin’
Till someday maybe you’ll love me
– or at least that’s what i think they intended it to be, except they seem to have lost whatever post-it note they’d written the meaning of the lyrics on, and eventually started using it more for scenes where lupin’s hanging out with jigen.
