Tokyo Pop
1988, Japanese. Directed by Fran Rubel Kuzui.
An American success story that's far from ordinary. And far from home.
A young rock singer is not appreciated by her band, and gets a postcard from Japan saying "wish you were here". She takes what little money she has including ex-boyfriend's rent money and goes to Tokyo. She has numerous cross-cultural adventures and ends up singing with a Japanese rock group looking for a gaijin gimmick.
