Great storyline. Looks pretty tight. Features the lovely Matsu Takako. Also proves a man can go around dressing in pyjamas and pink sweater and ur mom will still love you lol. Oh what was that? It takes in the place in the 70s? I rest my case.
I haven't watched it yet. If u can find subs, post em here. I'll just wait for the HK release on DVD (
since it just opened last month there).
