A Gaijin in Japan

#1 Post by Wing Fat » Sun Oct 02, 2005 6:47 am

I'm looking for some more "gaijin in Japan"-type movies. Basically anything where a non-Japanese person goes to Japan. Any suggestions?

In my collection right now I have:
LIT
Sayonara
Mr. Baseball
The Last Samurai
You Only Live Twice

Maybe I should add I'm not looking for WWII-related films.

How about a gaijin in Japan website? I have this one bookmarked, it's quite entertaining.

I found one in the video store today that looks interesting but I've never heard anything about it. The title is "The Stratosphere Girl." Anybody have any information?

And I'm back after a long hiatus!

Also add Shogun (the miniseries) to the list... amazing piece of work... long but worth it, especially if you're interested in Japanese history.
