Hello, Does anyone know if the track "So Into You" has ever been recorded, exactly as it sounds in the movie....? Yes, Mark has confirmed it's this version on Youtube. It sounds sooo good! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ozY13jr8kFE Fantastic! I just listened to the link....and equally as entertain...

Great post! I love the passion and effort in curating and distilling all the minutiae in this movie. I do love the "woo hoo" scene, as Bob and Charlotte are trying to come to terms with saying goodbye to each other, sitting in the bar. Seeing that the house band has changed is so symbolic and parall...

Thanks for sharing! When people ask (or ask me) "what's your favorite movie" or "all time favorite movie", I'm hesitant to list LiT among them to avoid the puzzled (almost judgemental) "but why????" looks (I'm sorry my favorite movies are not Titanic, Avatar, etc.). The few people who I know that li...

The thread might appear quiet, but I still get few lost souls asking for music every year. The shared folder now has almost 50 listeners :wink: THANKS!! I just discovered this post and the work you've done sounds amazing (and something I would definitely do myself if I had both the time and skill)....

Alternatively it's also available here. https://monocle.com/travel/in-high-regard/ Right slick each image>open in new tab (and erase the extra characters after .jpg) to view the high res pictures. Wow, thanks! I always thought you need active subscription to the magazine to access the digital conte...

I was curious as to what may have happened to the New York Bar during the recent Park Hyatt Tokyo renovation. In particular the large paintings by Valerio Adami (see my user avatar :D). I found this article online recently written that answers this question: https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/lifesty...

So, I couldn't take the suspense afterall and checked some of the photos online (both from the Hyatt site as well as TripAdvisor) just to satisfy curiosity. The library looks more or less the same. The rooms don't look too terribly different in some photos but more different in others. I'm not sure ...

I know the Park Hyatt is currently taking reservations but I haven't checked nor have I looked at the website to see pictures of how it looks now. In a way, I don't want to look. I know it's probably fantastic, but it definitely won't look like it used to. :/

....I'm currently doing research on hotels in Tokyo and of course, most websites are posting prices in Yen and it looks incredibly expensive, until you convert it into USD and realize what a great deal it is!

Yes, I do hope to see some LiT spots....although, staying at the Park Hyatt is going to be completely out of the question. I stayed there during my first visit back in 2016 and it was EXPENSIVE then! Albeit, I had some credit card points I could use. With the recent renovations, the cost must be muc...

I'm pleased to share with all you fellow insomniacs that we are finally returning to Japan! Air tickets have been booked for mid-February trip. It's been way too long. Our first trip was in the fall of 2016 and it blew our minds. Dare I say, it was life changing. We immediately returned the followin...

Thanks for keeping the site (and the love of LiT) alive and well!

Oh don't you know it! I'm really hoping we can make it happen next year, hopefully early spring/late winter. Definitely want to go when the weather is still colder.

Ok, I've scanned the entire article. Its actually more photos than it is text. I use Flickr for my photos, so here's a private link to the album: . . . By our third and final night in the bar, a Christmas tree had gone up next to the band. Everytime I think of this I am reminded of the scene where ...

Yeah, I don't know anyone who has gone and came back and said it was bad. Everyone that's gone fell in love with it!

In the circle of people I know (which admittedly is neither a lot nor diverse), everyone is either: 1.) talking about going to Japan, 2.) already booked a trip to Japan, 3.) just returned from Japan, 4.) or knows someone that is either one of the three just menationed. Most cite the amazing culture ...

Speaking of which....it'll be Cherry Blossom Festival again in a couple of months. I need to rewatch this portion of the movie because I'm pretty sure Mr. Bob Harris is not wearing jeans in that outfit. And hopefully I get recognized this year and can sign some autographs, ha ha ha!
