Yeah, I really liked the movie and it’s hard to describe exactly why.
It’s not an amazing story, or amazing characters, it’s not exciting…but it has a certain vibe/mood to it that I liked.
I was also a bit fascinated by Japan, so that’s part of it. Got to visit a couple of times in the years after seeing the movie and whenever I’ve been in a Tokyo hotel room it’s reminded me of the film!

I’m sure it was with more intensity

No joke, I was out one night in Osaka and got a little drunk. On my walk back to my hotel, some woman popped out at me on a corner and asked, “You like massage?” in a very heavy accent.

I stayed in the Ritz-Carlton in Akasaka and the hotel welcoming process was quite something. Door guy handed me off to a very cute hostess who politely stood next to me and handed me off to the desk clerk. The desk clerk then handed me off to another dude to show me my room.
