Uzumaki
Uzumaki (Japanese: うずまき, Spiral) is a seinen horror manga series written and illustrated by Junji Ito. Appearing as a serial in the weekly manga magazine Big Comic Spirits from 1998 to 1999, the chapters were compiled into three bound volumes by Shogakukan and published from August 1998 to September 1999. In March 2000, Shogakukan released an omnibus edition, followed by a second omnibus version in August 2010. In North America, Viz Media serialized an English-language translation of the series in its monthly magazine Pulp from February 2001 to August 2002. Viz Media then published the volumes from October 2001 to October 2002, with a re-release from October 2007 to February 2008, and published a hardcover omnibus edition in October 2013.
The series tells the story of the citizens of Kurôzu-cho, a fictional city which is plagued by a supernatural curse involving spirals. The story for Uzumaki originated when Ito attempted to write a story about people living in a very long row house, and he was inspired to use a spiral shape to achieve the desired length. Ito believes the horror of Uzumaki is effective due to its subversion of symbols which are normally positively portrayed in Japanese media, and its Lovecraftian theme of protagonists struggling against a mysterious force stronger than themselves.
Uzumaki (film)
Uzumaki (うずまき, "Spiral") is a Japanese horror film directed by Higuchinsky.Uzumaki, released in 2000, is based on Junji Ito's episodic manga of the same name.
The plot concerns a town infected with malevolent spirals. This abstract concept manifests in grotesque ways, such as a teenager's long hair beginning to curl and take over her mind, or a corpse wound around itself.
Among many bizarre features of the film is a heavy treatment with green colour filters, aping the style of the colour plates in the manga, and the fact that the trailer for the film is a pastiche of Jean-Luc Godard's seminal trailer for À bout de souffle (1960).
The movie covers some of the notable stories from the manga, with varying degrees of faithfulness. The movie and the manga have different endings because the movie was filmed before the manga had finished.
Its theme song was "Raven" by the band Do As Infinity, which was on their "Yesterday & Today" single.
Also in 2000, Higuchinsky adapted Junji's Nagai Yume ("Long Dream") for Japanese television.

[Verse 1:Jay Smoke]
I could'n ask for no one better, your love is so true...
The best thing about me, girl, is U!
You overlooked ma image, never took me as a crook...
Shy, first week later you liked me on Facebook
You a gangster gal, you be killing them girls all the time
You more than gold to me, you all mine...
Never stopped loving you these years! now we gotta take it to the next
Phase,
Don't fear... so now I close ma eyes,
Coz her beauty is so alive, heart beats to the wings of the rhythm of a
Butterfly
Yea I think about it! yea I talk about it! and I would shout out, to the
Whole world about it...
I Know you had a past, but we can make a future... it's the perfect time for
Me and you, Forget the rumors...
And now I cry, tears, reflecting from her beautiful light, forget what
Haters say, it's me and you for life!

The way I felt for u, is something really special, I never felt this way,
So you more than just special,

And never... will I lie... for the one I truly love
You the everything I want, you the everything I need...
And I ain't going nowhere Birdy, you can count on me...
I love you till I last, I will love you till my death.
I can stand by you all the time, this I confess
If it was'n for you, I would have never been alive,
Cuz all the problems around me, that make me wanna die,
I ain't moving back girl, you get better with time...
You are beautiful girl, you get better with mine,
Like the myths of mermaid, none I can find,
For woman like you, I dedicated one rhyme,
For that attractive smile which controls ma mind
Ma princess you are, just one of a kind...

[Verse 3]
The first time I met you, our eyes connected
Too late to realize, that I'm affected...
You spun your web on me, built a nest in my brain
And before I realized you left eggs with my name
You the best of the best, you my first and my next
You just hard to predict, so rare to exist
You can be Beyonce, I can be your Jay
Never mind the commitments, lets get married today
And I hope you listen every time that I say.
You the reason why I'm smiling at the start of the day
Have I ever told ya, your hair looks fly!
I get lost in your eyes and I ask myself why?
It's so hard to find, true love is so rare
Don't you worry baby I ain't going nowhere
You so precious, I never leave you in trouble
Hold you so soft like you a water bubble...
