These days I did one of those family programs. Aquarium. Although I went alone. So I think it’s a program for everyone. Just like marine life.

Another thing that I really like, as you are already tired of knowing, are Japanese movies. And this solo tour reminded me of one of the best, Just Remembering, with Sairi Ito and Sosuke Ikematsu, who was an aquarium employee.

The film is very interesting. In addition to the story being very realistic and mature, the script is developed backwards. That is, it starts from the chronological future and ends in the past. Very cool.

I usually watch a Japanese movie to relieve stress. But today was the day to ease tension at the batting center in Kabukicho. I haven’t done that for a long time.

Of course, as always, it reminded me of one of the Japanese movies I watched. This one in particular features one of my favorite actresses, Kyoko Fukada. She acts in a love triangle with Goro Kishitani and Tae Kimura.

The film that had scenes filmed in a batting center is called In The City of Dawn and is an intense plot about betrayal in marriage.

Earlier today, I was looking for some photos on my phone and I found this record of the day I went to see Call Me Chihiro at Musashinokan in Shinjuku.

As I’m a fan of Kasumi Arimura, I went right away on opening night and I wasn’t disappointed.

The movie was pretty good. Even addressing serious and often difficult aspects of adult life. Chihiro, in a very mature way, handled all situations well.

Japanese movies locations

Recently, I was in Shibuya and I passed by Sakura Street. I tried searching my memory. However, I couldn’t remember any Japanese movie I’ve watched that was filmed here.

However, I think I must have seen a movie filmed here. For two reasons: my memory is not very reliable and this street is too beautiful to never have been used in a production.

A curiosity that possibly most people who don’t understand Japanese may not know is that the names on the lanterns are from sponsoring companies. Nothing romantic.
