Last year in 2009 was the 80th anniversary of diplomatic relations between Canada and Japan. To mark the occasion, Compusult Limited (www.compusult.net/) and Ohara Consulting (www.oharaconsulting.ca/) co-hosted the event, Eigo de Nihon Eiga (Eigo – English, Nihon - Japan, Eiga – Movie/ watching a Japanese movie in English).
Compusult is a Newfoundland company that does business in Japan. As a part of this event, Compusult donated 32 DVDs to the Newfoundland and Labrador Public Libraries (www.nlpubliclibraries.ca/).
This year (2010), Compusult is going to offer other Japanese DVDs to the libraries. Currently, I am picking out the DVDs for this list of the donation. Please let me know by e-mail or commenting on my blog if you have any suggestions. I would really appreciate it. Please suggest movies other than the following.

Kagen no Tsuki! ^^ I loved this movie. Mostly because I was such a HYDE fan. Also, Moon Child. I like that one, too.
ReplyDeleteOh, also I've always wanted to see Shinobi.
Others that I want to see include Tegami, The Blue Bird. Some of my favorite actors are in these.
I wonder if I can buy these for rather cheap somewhere in Japan when I visit? I will make a list.
They have to be movies with English language releases right? I recommend Paprika (2006), directed by Satoshi Kon. Well, any of his movies would be a good choice, actually.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I haven't actually seen this movie yet, but Summer Wars is supposed to be very good. It isn't out here yet though.
Thank you very much for your suggestions.
