Trivia

The "Big Body" pizza box in the infamous stabbing scene usually gets a few chuckles from English-speaking viewers, who are no doubt thinking about the food's fat content. However, "Big Body" is actually an homage to Susumu Hirasawa (who would later compose music for Sennen joyû and Môsô dairinin, also by director Kon) and his electronically band "P-Model." Big Body is the name of their tenth album, released in 1993. See more »
