Well one of the actresses of the TV show, Carrie Hamilton stared in a film after she had left which we got around to watching last week so Mark could feature it on his blog.

Well, it's an interesting film showcasing Japanese pop which I enjoyed back in the 80's and 90's with bands such as Sandii and the Sunsetz and X Japan (who make a very brief apperance in the film).

In anycase I managed to get a copy of the soundtrack for Mark so decided to also feature it on this little blog of mine.  Hope you enjoy it.

Tokyo Pop (東京ポップ Tōkyō Poppu?) is a music-centric movie from 1988 that tells the story of a girl from the USA, a boy from Japan, and a briefly successful pop band. The movie contrasts American customs with Tokyo lifestyles, as it presents an evolving love story between the two main characters.

The main actors are Carrie Hamilton for Wendy and Diamond Yukai (aka Yutaka Tadokoro) for Hiro Yamaguchi. Other actors included Gina Belafonte and Tetsuro Tamba. The movie was directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui.
