I seem to recall having heard of this film or seen some previews a while ago, and I’m not quite sure what to make of it at this point. After all, the trailer starts off with a nyotaimori “buffet”, which is one of those things that’s so exaggerated in the foreign press that you’d think you could get it for lunch just about anywhere. Still, I like to give films the benefit of the doubt, especially when they also feature recent newsmakers.
Interestingly, Map of the Sounds of Tokyo also has a link to our homepage on the film’s page! Thanks, but do we get a free preview screening? Either way, here’s the official trailer for our readers. I had no idea that breasts were ok on YouTube…
UPDATE: After watching this some more and seeing some excerpts, I remain a skeptic. Seems just too typical of the outside view of Japan, even though there’s always at least a shred of truth in these stereotypes.
