When the J-Pop kicked in I had to swallow my own sick.

Word UP.

The director gives a rather modest assessment of his own work at the beginning.

Moral of the story: Americans are confused, Japanese people, especially women, don’t see race.

This doesn’t look good at all. Mediocre acting, corny dialogue…seemingly no plot.

“She doesn’t speak English?”
“This is Japan.”

So true. I want to see this one. And, I didn’t recognize it from the name, but I spent some time in Kochi, which is where that bridge at the end of the clip is located. I remember hearing that there was a tragic love story tied to that bridge. Very cool tie in.
