I don't know what to say. Apparently the Occult is funny to the Japanese. One feels really dumb when walking through a quiet bookstore full of people diligently reading away and you bust into laughter for no apparent reason. The reason being the sections of the bookstore that have been grouped together.

This is why they were grouped (imagine that "flashback" sound and the haze that surrounds the flashback images)......oh and imagine the following dialogue is in Japanese....

"Hey Satoshi, Mr. Yoshi called a meeting to go over our bookstore section naming."
"Oh yah, thats right Hiroko, I almost forgot!"

"Ok everyone, We are looking to be the bookstore that serves not only our proud people, but also those foreigners who visit our land of the rising sun. To facilitate those outsiders, I want to have our sections labeled in English. Does anyone speak English?"

"I do Mr. Yoshi"
"Great Satoshi, you lable the sections"

"Hmm, what sections should I group together? Well I did read a book about that Skeleton Key movie, but I didnt understand it...maybe it was a comedy."
