  1. Hello, I went to Aki Matsuri 2004, one of the biggest Japanese community events in DC area on September 26. It was my first time to participate in the Aki Matsuri, and I had a lot of fun with Japanese food, traditional games and exciting entertainments.

  9. CODE 46 A futuristic 'Brief Encounter', a love story in which the romance is doomed by genetic incompatibility. The Near Future... Society Is Divided... Your Life is Determined For You... Including Who You Can Love... I saw this movie at the Belfast Movie Festival in Northern Ireland. I really liked it and it's awesome!! Let's GO to find out what is "CODE 46" @ Dupont movie theatre: 1350 19th Street NW Washington, DC 20036, Tel: 202-872-9555 -Tomofromtokyo SYNOPSIS: Code 46 is a love story set in an eerily possible near-future where cities are heavily controlled and only accessible through checkpoints. People cannot travel unless they have a special travel insurance. Outside cities, the desert has taken over and shanty towns are jammed with non-citizens - people without the insurance whose lives are severely restricted. William (Robbins) is a family man who works as an insurance investigator. When his company sends him to another city to solve a case of fake insurance, he meets a woman named Maria (Morton). Although he knows she's been creating the forgeries, he falls completely in love with her. He hides her crime and they have a wild, passionate affair that can only last as long as his insurance: 24 hours. Back home, William is obsessed with the memory of Maria. He tries to see her but is refused the neccessary papeers to travel. Desparate, he uses one of the fake insurance he kept from his investigation. He eventually tracks her down, only to discover she has been accused of a Code 46 violation.

The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi This samurai epic features Takeshi Kitano, Japan's leading actor-director, taking up the role of Zatoichi, the blind wandering warrior with a deadly sharp sword who has been celebrated in various Japanese movies and television shows since the 1960s. You can see the cool Japanese movie @ Dupont movie theatre: 1350 19th Street NW Washington, DC 20036, Tel: 202-872-9555 -Tomofromtokyo
