|summary=The man we shall come to know as The Creative Writer was looking out of the window of his office when he spotted a beautiful woman struggling to stay upright in the tornado which was rattling the windows ferociously. Then he realised that it wasn't just the dreadful weather which was affecting her: the woman was doubled up in pain and he could see blood. Amazingly, no one was stopping to help her, worried, he would find out later that, they might be sued if something went wrong. The Creative Writer had no such worries - he dashed out into the tornado and brought her back into the house, shouting at his grandmother that she should call an ambulance.

|summary= High-tech and high-rise, kimonos, and big-eyed visuals – through a dynamic juxtaposition of the ultra modern and the traditional, Japan has succeeded in branding itself both as an intriguing travel destination that does not cease to surprise, but at the same time defies being ever wholly full understood by outsiders. All of this has come to be encapsulated and reinforced in Sofia Coppola's cult classic ''Lost in Translation'': the iconic still of Scarlett Johansson standing at the scramble crossing in Shibuya has come to represent Japan in pop culture as much as the more traditional cherry blossom imagery.
