When I moved to Japan, I saw this in the theater because of the cool poster. Didn't understand a word of what they were saying, but still loved this movie; one of my favorites. It's populated with J-Pop "talento" (actors & actresses) and the heroines is quite striking.
And then, AMAZINGLY, two years after seeing it, I went to work for this small Tokyo company and my manager WAS THE GUY WHO WROTE THE SCREENPLAY!
Very cool. See it. You'll love it.
Other hearty recommendations: Azumi (she is SOOOO hot!!!) Juon 1(you'll poop your pants!) High and Low (Kurasawa based on Ed friggin' McBain! How cool is that!?!)
