Aunts' Soldiers (a domumentary about a former Japanese solder whose boss didn't tell him about the end of the war but told to keep fighting, when he was in China. Thus, he has been recognised as a "volunteer" in the Chinese civil war.)

The Sun (directed by a Russian directer, Aleksandr Sokurov, this film was said not to be shown in Japan, but finally, yes. This film portlays Emperor Hirohito as a constant gardener.)

So I went to see the film "Breakfast on Pluto" on the 14th July, which was the last day, and I couldn't take pictures of the great sign, a overwhelmingly pink still photo of Patricia "Kitten" Braden.

My review of the film is in my blog (in Japanese). The director, Neil Jordan, said in an inverview that Voltair's Candide was in his mind, and I could see it, though Voltaire was 100% sarcastic when he wrote the novel!

Nissan (automobile), Sapporo (beer) and Vodafone (mobile). Sapporo Breweries Ltd is one of the top three breweries in Japan, and they import Guinness (a global brand).

There was a small group of tourist from North America (according to their accent) next to me, who were also taking pictures. And I felt like I was a visitor too, though I live in Tokyo.

You can see a lot of these "text news board" in Tokyo. The text moves slow enough to read, but in the case of night photograpy, it just gets like this. The news was about baseball, if I remember correctly. (Totally unreadable even though I am a native Japanese speaker.)
