Looks interesting! Someone nows the song name at the end?

[lawrence5151]

@pumpfever This is the theme song, "The Terminal, in your arms" sung by Misono. The movie is also available at iTunes with the title of the Harimaya Bridge.

this looks like a good movie

I am married to a Japanese woman. I am African-American. It's not racism. Its just the parents want their kids to marry someone the parents like. They are not thinking about their children's feelings. Look at my "misunderstanding" video. I had this very convo with a Japaenese father.

Why didn't this get release in American Theater... Danny Glover is a A list actor

Son dies in Japan and the Dad goes to collect things. Racial differences abound in Japan anyway & he is black. Son was well loved school teacher, had a kid by local who suffered the abuse from others for the coco jin kid & husband. Ok movie, the lead actor was stiff until later. Who was that young, party ready, Japanese girl! Wow, she was a find. Maybe Hapa kids would want to see it.
