Films Log: films I've so far watched in Japan


2. Water Boys
- a Japanese boys high school produce a syncronized swimming team. Very funny! A bit like The Full Monty in humour and enjoyment!

1. Angel in the Box
- set in Japan's northern-most island, Hokkaido, in a nation-wide-chain convenience store here called Lawson. It follows the lives of the staff there, through snowy winter and warm summer - chiefly the manager and his rebellious teenage daughter, Yuki, as well as their interactions with their weird and wonderful customers. A good and accurate look at Japanese life, although rather boring becuase it is so 'normal' in many ways.
