I'd love to share all the pages from that article at a legible resolution, but I know this site has size limitations. Is there another way to do it, like linking from other photo site or something like that? Ok if 5mb is not enough then you can link from an external site and embed or just a link to...

This is a very interesting 8 minute news feature about the rise of tourism in Japan. It sounds like they are expecting it to increase a lot by 2030 so maybe best to try and go if you can sooner rather than later! https://theworld.org/segments/2025/01/06/as-japans-economy-adapts-to-a-tourism-boom-so-...

I subscribe to a Monocle magazine and in my most recent issue there is an article about the Park Hyatt Tokyo including some history and stories and how it was closed this year for a major renovation job, reopening again late 2025. Included in the article are some fantastic photos. Due to the relati...

OMG that's great!

Hey everyone! Here we are once again! There’s been some other fun things going on I will get to further down. But first, when was LIT actually released?! Was it in September or October? Last time (at 15), I said it was Sept. 9, 2003 in the US but that is only partially correct. LIT was first shown a...

Hi onesmokin3g, just wanted to see how your trip planning as been, are you still headed to Tokyo and the Park Hyatt this year?

Yes I want to know too! It's getting to be about that time!

Suzanne Ferriss appeared on a podcast this past March to discuss her LIT book. You can hear it here: https://newbooksnetwork.com/lost-in-translation or if you want to hear it on a podcast player and download it you can try this one. It was a little hard for me to pin down. https://player.fm/series/n...

I read and finished the book while traveling on airplanes recently! Which is ironic because in the book she devotes some time to talking about the theme of travel in LIT along with how the experience of travel relates to the experience of the movie and how it was filmed. It's a great book! Discusses...

I found out about this from a footnote in the new LIT book by Suzanne Ferriss! I searched the site and as far as I can see no one else has posted this. In the book she talks about the popularity of the film with a new generation of young people seeing it for the first time. Back in 2018, apparently,...

Hey, so Pitman, I went on Bandcamp not long ago and finally bought it! I'd been meaning to (time flies when you're procrastinating :shock: )! I had gotten back on there as I got some songs from another band I am following and I went back and checked out your albums. I like the new one, Nami. I'll pr...

Saw that new Puss in Boots too and really enjoyed it!
Also saw the new Avatar (just a few posts back people talking about the original Avatar wow time flies!) in Imax 3D and enjoyed it also.
And last weekend Guardians of the Galaxy III!

I ordered my copy and got it last week!!! I haven't read it all yet but I pick it up and open it to random pages and just start reading! I'm enjoying it! I'll be taking it with me on a trip (not to Japan :cry: ) soon and will read it then! Here is a photo of it I took with a folder and tape to show ...

That's cool thanks for posting! Yes LIT is iconic now and exists in the consciousness of many people and we will see it entering that stream at various points!

Yes thanks for letting us know this is exciting! I'm going to get this book!

I watched it!
It looks like they finally took it down but maybe someone else will post it again at some point.
Thanks for letting us know about it!

Hi folks! I just finished another watch and thought of the forum and wanted to come by and see what's up. Nice to see people coming back from time to time continuing to share their memories and feelings and states of mind. That's what the movie is about and evokes in people and makes it special! :) ...

Hey folks thanks for posting this info for future LIT travelers making a pilgrimage to the Park Hyatt! :D I saw this post when it came out and did some googling but couldn't find much definitive and planned to come back to it and now see this was updated. First with regards to the Diplomat Suite - f...

Darn, it looks like it's only available on Apple TV?

Yeah for now. I think as there are more ways to watch and more people see it we can get more discussion.
I finally finished watching it and will post my impressions soon!

I created two posts here under Related Films to discuss the film in more detail with or without spoilers!
