Hmm. Glad you liked it, man, but I could not get into that one at all... even for a film in a particularly dull slump in Miike's filmography (Crows Zero and its sequel/prequel, Scars of the Sun, the awful Zebraman 2, Yatterman), Sukiyaki stands out as particularly bland. The only thing he's done recently I got into was probably God's Puzzle. I strangely liked Yakuza Demon too, despite it not really doing anything that he hadn't done before. Sukiyaki has some Izo-like stuff goin on -- IZO is my favorite film by Miike, by far -- but it just dragged. Tarantino's appearance was strangely hilarious....
Ghost, since you like Japanese film so much, you should check out THE MAN WHO STOLE THE SUN. Just amazing. I also recently watched HANA AND ALICE (same director as SWALLOWTAIL BUTTERFLY, ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU CHOU, RITUAL, and all sorts of other great films) and I thought of you.
