Review of You Only Live Twice (2007) by Gray D — 20 Feb 2009
"Welcome to Japan, Bond-san." To date, the only Bond adventure set in Japan and the most outlandish and excessive Bond of the Connery era. Bond chases SPECTRE to their hidden Japanese volcano headquarters, complete with armies of SPECTRE agents in identical uniform, to rescue kidnapped American astronauts.
The best stuff is Bond's initial arrival in Japan as he inflitrates a Japanese corporation, attends a sumo match, encounters the Japan Intelligence czar Tiger Tanaka, and romances his Bond girls Aki and Kissy Suzuki.
Bond undergoing cosmetic surgery to become Japanese (he looks more like a hairy Vulcan) and becoming a ninja in just a few days was silly even 42 years ago.
