Dear @sweetiepie, many belated thanks to you too for your reply and for loving my post on Sunday!

By the way, the reason I dare to say that "Battle Royale" is a "famous" Japanese movie is that it was the highest-grossing Japanese live-action movie in Japan in 2001, according to:

For those of you who are not aware, the music in the first thirty seconds of the above trailer was composed by one of my favourite Western "Classical music" composers:

It's the first thirty seconds of a nearly two-minute long "movement" in his famous:
