Tora-san and his "Madonnas" #1 - #37

Short clip I threw together of Tora-san with his "Madonnas" from the first 37 movies. I'll be uploading scenes from all 37 movies in the future. Hopefully #38 - #48 will come out on dvd soon (with English subtitles of course).


Song used:
First Love - Hikaru Utada

I love this idea of compiling the madonnas of the Tora-san series, great job, but I really don't think the music goes well with it. Too modern. It takes away from the old Tokyo feel of Japanese cinema.. I had to mute it. Great compilation nonetheless.

I'm not really familiar with Japanese music so I just used a song that I liked. Maybe next time I'll be able to find something a little more "old school." Thanks for the comment.

I'm a big fan of Tora-san and I really love it. It reminds me of each story in a very sentimental way. Music is also beautiful. I think it matches very well with the pictures. Also the subtitles are so nice. I like your translation. Anyway I was so impressed. It is a new type of Tora-san's films that I've ever seen.

Thanks for the info. I'll check it out.

Wow, seems like he had a hard life. May he rest in peace.

[demapples4]

Yeah. I read that for the later movies, it seems like director Yoji Yamada was trying to transition the series from Tora-san to his nephew, Mitsuo. Didn't know they were making a 49th movie though. Atsumi Kiyoshi was Tora-san and I don't think any other actor could have taken his place.
