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.

“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.
