After receiving a postcard from Japan saying “wish you were here,” she spontaneously hops on a plane to Tokyo with dreams of making it big as a singer. Quickly finding herself broke and a fish out of water, she moves into a youth hostel for gaijin (foreigners) and takes up work as a hostess at a karaoke bar. Just when she’s at her breaking point, she meets Hiro (Diamond Yukai), a rock ‘n’ roller whose band is looking for their big break. They form a romantic and musical connection and Hiro convinces Wendy to become their lead singer. An underseen gem of ‘80s American independent cinema by Fran Rubel Kuzui, TOKYO POP takes us on a breezy tour through bubble era Tokyo, replete with knowing nods to the city’s vibrant pop culture. 538 Mode of access: World Wide Web. 650 0 Comedy. 650 0 Motion pictures. 655 7 Feature films.|2lcgft 700 1 Rubel Kuzui, Fran,|efilm director. 700 1 Hamilton, Carrie,|eactor. 700 1 Yukai, Diamond,|eactor. 710 2 Kino Lorber (Firm),|4dst 710 2 Kanopy (Firm),|4dst 856 40 |uhttps://naperville.kanopy.com/node/13547334|zAvailable on Kanopy 856 42 |zCover Image|uhttps://www.kanopy.com/node/13547334/ external-image
