I have decided to try to keep a log over my activities in Japan so that my friends and family can keep track of what is going on in my life. Also it might provide an interesting introduction to Japan and its culture for people who haven't been there. I will try to update once a week and complement the text with pictures taken with my digital camera throughout my intended year-long stay in Japan. 
Movie Reviews
Since I've seen some movies during this trip that are unavailable to most people outside Japan (at least in the near future) I have decided to gather my reviews of those movies here. To avoid all possible legal problems I have not included any pictures from the films, but have links to sites where you can find images (and some of them even feature movie-clips). 

The titles in italic are the English titles as written on video box-covers, in official books etc. 
The dates in bold are the dates I actually saw them.

Sorted by date of viewing
