She has appeared in about 100 films,^[3] with her most famous roles being outlaw characters in early 1970s films, such as the rebels of the Stray Cat Rock series, the assassin Lady Snowblood, and the murderous Nami Matsushima from the Female Prisoner 701: Scorpionseries.

Occupation	Actress, singer
Years active	1965-present

Life and careerEdit

Meiko Kaji was born Masako Ohta in the Kanda area of Tokyo and graduated from the Yakumo Academy high school in Meguro, Tokyo. She began to work in the film industry under her real name, Masako Ota, at Nikkatsu studio in 1965 after graduating from high school.^[1] In 1969 she appeared in Nihon Zankyoden, one of a series of films directed by Masahiro Makino, who recognized her acting ability and gave her the stage name of Meiko Kaji.^[2]From 1970 to 1971 she appeared in the Noraneko Rokku (Stray cat/Alleycat Rock) series of films about delinquent young people.

In 1971, Nikkatsu moved into the pink film business, and to avoid this, Kaji moved to Toei Company.^[1] There she made the Female Convict 701: Scorpion series of films. In 1973 she took on the role of Yuki in the revenge-themed film Lady Snowblood, followed by a sequel, Lady Snowblood 2: Love Song of Vengeance. She went on to appear in several of Kinji Fukasaku‘s films, such as Yakuza Graveyard(1976). In 1978, she starred in Sonezaki Shinjū, for which she earned nominations for Best Actress at five different awards shows, winning four of them.^[4]

Kaji has worked in television since the 1980s. In 1989 she portrayed Omasa, an informant, in the television drama Onihei Hankachō (the Shochiku–Fuji Television version starring kabukiactor Nakamura Kichiemon II).

Kaji is also a singer. She sang the theme song to Lady Snowblood, “Shura no Hana” (修羅の花), and the theme song of the Female Convict Scorpion series, “Urami Bushi” (怨み節). When both these songs were used in the 2003 Quentin Tarantino film Kill Bill,^[1] there was a revival of interest in Kaji’s music that encouraged her to resume her musical career.^[5] In 2009, she released a single, Onna wa yametai. In 2011, Kaji released her first new album in 31 years, Aitsu no suki-so-na burūsu (あいつの好きそなブルース)^[6] with songs written by Ryudo Uzaki and Yoko Aki.

Kaji received acting offers from Hollywood but refused them all, saying she could not give a good performance in a language other than Japanese.^[7]

花よ綺麗と　おだてられ

咲いてみせれば　すぐ散らされる

馬鹿なバカな

馬鹿な女の … 怨み節

運命哀しと　あきらめて

泣きをみせれば　また泣かされる

憎い口惜しい　許せない

消すに消えない　忘れられない

尽きぬつきぬ

夢よ未練と　嗤われて

女ごころの怨み節

真赤なバラにゃ　トゲがある

刺したかないが　刺さずにゃおかぬ

怨み一筋　生きて行く

Bitter Melody

Versions: #1#2

The flower, if it is pretty, becomes flattered

(Then) If it shows itself in full blossom, soon its petals are scattered

Foolish! Foolish!

Foolish woman’s bitter melody.

If fate is harsh, you must accept it

If you show yourself crying, you will be forced to cry again

A Woman, a woman,

a woman’s tears’ bitter melody

This hateful regret, I cannot forgive

It is not erased. I does not disappear. I cannot forget it.

Pierced through, pierced through.

Pierced through woman’s bitter melody.

When dreams bring lingering regret, laugh

If they appear while you’re awake, don’t close your eyes

A woman, a woman,

a woman’s heart’s bitter melody

The most brilliantly red rose has many thorns

If the (thorn’s) wound was not deep, it was not fate to wound deeply

Burning, burning.

Burning woman’s bitter melody.

The dying fruit of the flower, it can no longer bloom

In blind bitterness it lives out its days

A woman, a woman,

a woman’s life’s bitter melody.

• Now the Swan it floated on the English river
  Ah the Rose of High Romance it opened wide
  A sun tanned woman yearned me through the summer
  And the judges watched us from the other side

  I told my mother “Mother I must leave you
  Preserve my room but do not shed a tear
  Should rumour of a shabby ending reach you
  It was half my fault and half the atmosphere”

  But the Rose I sickened with a scarlet fever
  And the Swan I tempted with a sense of shame
  She said at last I was her finest lover
  And if she withered I would be to blame

  The judges said you missed it by a fraction
  Rise up and brace your troops for the attack
  Ah the dreamers ride against the men of action
  Oh see the men of action falling back

  But I lingered on her thighs a fatal moment
  I kissed her lips as though I thirsted still
  My falsity had stung me like a hornet
  The poison sank and it paralyzed my will

  I could not move to warn all the younger soldiers
  That they had been deserted from above
  So on battlefields from here to Barcelona
  I’m listed with the enemies of love

  And long ago she said “I must be leaving,
  Ah but keep my body here to lie upon
  You can move it up and down and when I’m sleeping
  Run some wire through that Rose and wind the Swan”

  So daily I renew my idle duty
  I touch her here and there, I know my place
  I kiss her open mouth and I praise her beauty
  And people call me traitor to my face

  Please, note parallels with famous ‘O Rose Thou Art Sick’ by William Blake, with specific reference to Englishness to remove further doubts. This is widened reinterpretation of the famous poem from the worm’s point of view.

  O Rose thou art sick.
  The invisible worm,
  That flies in the night
  In the howling storm:

  Has found out thy bed
  Of crimson joy:
  And his dark secret love
  Does thy life destroy.

• My Interpretation:

  What the Traitor has betrayed is the ideal of love. His ‘scarlet fever’ is lust, but when it is satisfied by ‘lingering on her thighs’, the Traitor is shamed. He recognises that other young men go off to battle without high ideals and they too become ‘the enemies of love’.
  Lovely metaphors – great Leonard Cohen.

  Well I guess, it is fundamentally positive, and for a long time I just amaze myself at the beauty of the methaphore, the idea of the world as a stage, as the scene of a quest, in which the spectators are the judges as well, then i heard Leonard Cohen’s explaantion of the line of thought that made him write the poem. It goes like this:

  “It was called “The traitor”. It was about the feeling that we have of betraying some mission that we were mandated to fulfill, and being unable to fulfill it, and then coming to understand that the real mandate was not to fulfill it, and that the deeper courage was to stand guiltless in the predicament in which you found yourself”.
  It talks about the unvoidable predicament of failure from without, and the only right posture when one’s faced with a situation in which one cannot but fail: standing guiltless, in the predicament in which you find yourself. I think that is positive: not blaming yourself for outcomes of which you could not fully control.

  God what a punishment ( the cruelty of the victim is almost far more than of the criminal)
  He betrayed her , she doesn’t love him no more but she keeps her body for him to have sex with while her soul is somewhere else …

  The rose is the womans genitals, the swan would be his. The line “run some wire through the rose and wind the swan” would be the woman asking him to have sex with her. He daily performs his “idle duty” but he doesn’t love her. He has become an “enemy of love” for betraying his true love.

  1. It seems to be about a man settling for someone who is not right for him rather than what his heart desires. He becomes an enemy of love, The Men of Action Falling back is the man too weak to take action and leave, following his heart. He has a relationship of physical love but not real love. He is a traitor to himself.
