アフタースクール (2008)
Afuta Sukuru (After School)
Yakuza + School buddy = Weird yet relaxing mafia comedy, thank god have twist in movie. Movie overall is ok showing typical social issue in Japan, but the twist is unpredictable that makes me liking this movie.
包帯クラブ (2007)
Hotai Kurabu (The Bandage Club)
I doubted this is novel / manga based, overall it's the teenage themed movie about friendship, and how interest get people together where the darkest little secret is shared n' cared. The Power of Bandage (another "Only In Japan" trend)??
ALWAYS 続・三丁目の夕日 (2007)
Always Zoku - Sanchome no Yuhi (Always Con't - Sunset on 3rd Street)
Set in 1950s in Japan when Tokyo Tower was first built, story tells life of residents living in 3rd street who shared joy, pain, hopes and tear. Excellant movie showing Japan in retro where households ie. Washing machine, TV can be seen in their 1st edition look. I enjoyed the every settings in retro style in this movie.

おくりびと (2008)
Okuribito (Depatures)
"Okuribito" won Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for 2008 and Best Fim for Japanese Academy and other awards. I get different insights of "Departure" moments, better understanding of Japanese ritual and culture, and how a CELLO sounds certainly. This 132mins TEARJERKER moved millions of audience in joy and tears; and deeply touched million souls.
