Tokyo Friends

Tokyo Friends was released on June 8, 2005. Unlike many other Dorama, it was never aired on TV. Instead it was released as DVD; 3 DVDs to be exact. Volume one and two contained the first 4 episodes while volume three contained the last episode. Each episode is approximately 70 minutes long. A Tokyo Friends Premium Box was also released, which includes all 5 episodes, a bonus DVD and 12 postcards. Although this is a very typical Tokyo-story and was never aired on TV, it was quite successful, most probably because it was Otsuka Ai’s debut as an actress.

Tokyo Friends simply the best Japanese Movie I’ve seen so far. The way the story goes and music were so touching. I have to stay up late night to see how the story end because in Malaysia, the movie was aired from 12.30am to 3.30am.. imagine going to work next day with only sleeping 3 and a half hours.

Yoko Maki is so pretty and cool in that movie. I hope one day I can see her here, in Malaysia.

Keep up the good work and all the best that life can brings to you, Yoko Maki@Ryoko.

Regards from Malaysia.
