RISAKO · 2014

I am Japanese American, and I can't believe how UNREALISTIC this show was. How come the Japanese Americans in this movie is soo fluent in Japanese? Ok, I tried to think that maybe they lived in a Japanese community, but I still think unlikely. During the times w/o internet Japanese in the US really did not have much to watch on tv, etc. OK, I do speak fluent Japanese, but that is because I learned it on my own and went to Japan at 18, studied and lived there a few years. and since then I have watched Japanese tv, by subscribing to Japanese Tv. Now thanks to the internet I can keep it up by watching shows online, thank goodness!
