Hi, and a Happy New Year to all LiT lovers around the world, and of course to everyone else!! But us LiT fans come first here, of course. :D I'm sad to say it looks like the sushi place in Daikanyama where Bob and Charlotte had their awkward lunch cooking their own food, has permanently closed. I'm ...

The first song was originally posted with fan video on Youtube here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q32wv6IIsiI

Incidentally, it was banned in Italy.

Thanks for taking the time to listen and posting your comments!

Suntory, the lyrics are there also if you wanted to read along. But I'm the same way when listening too!

Hey guys, I'm an old forum member, going back many years. Haven't been here in a while. I still watch the movie on a yearly basis. Still in love with the characters. So much so, I just released a 3 track EP called In Translation which was inspired by this wonderful movie. Please visit Bandcamp and h...

Amazing work on keeping the site up and running!! Happy anniversary LiTers!

There is one scene right at the beginning where the lead character is riding in the back of a taxi under the bridge and coming out into the bright night lights of Shinjuku, just like Bob did at the beginning. I think the director must have been inspired by this shot from Sofia's movie. It was a clos...

Welcome Atlanta Bill. I like your story. Curious, did you ever check out the hotel and the bar and grill when you were in Tokyo?

Thanks Bob San for the reminder email! Much appreciated. I recently wrote a song based on the movie and posted it to Youtube with a fan video you can see here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q32wv6IIsiI My brother listened to my song and said, you know, I gotta see that movie again. He had only see...

Thanks Bob San, glad you liked it.

I really have fun putting it together. Being my fav movie, it wasn't hard!

Hi SunseOdds,

I'm glad you liked it. I had such a fun and rewarding time putting it all together. Check out my other songs on my channel when you get a chance. You may like the Batman one.

You can d/l the music to your phone from Youtube? If so, go for it.

Hey guys,

I just uploaded a Lost in Translation fan video. I wrote and performed the song and put it all together out of love for the movie.

Please check it out!

It's a very interesting show. Thanks for posting that. I love these kind of things!

Hey, I was listening to the new Red album and there's a song called "All Too Well" and half way through there's this lyric: And maybe we got lost in translation Maybe I asked for too much But maybe this thing was a masterpiece ´til you tore it all up Running scared, I was there, I remember it all to...

Hey guys! I just watched a movie that has certain essentially similarities with LiT. On a whim I downloaded it after surfing onto it in IMDB. I had no idea the movie would be as powerful as it is. This, to me is what a film is all about. I would not be surprised at all if the director was a huge fan...

Wow! I only just saw these. I really should check in with this forum more often!

The pictures were simply amazing. I so long to go to Japan. I will get there one of these days.

Thanks so much for sharing them. So inspiring!

Yes. I always watch it late at night when I can sleep in the next morning. I like to have the menu running in the background for a while as an appetizer. I usually have something Japanese during the movie like Sake or Sapporo. And sometimes make sushi beforehand too. I must be up to around 55 viewin...

Yes, some just don't get it. I know. But for those who do, there must be a Bob, or a Charlotte deep down inside.

Oh those late and lonely nights are perfect for a viewing of LiT!

Did you?

Thanks for posting your story. Very touching. As I said before, to me this movie is an event.

Thanks again!
