Sayuri Honda (Miki Nakatani) claims she has no interests in love affairs. She refuses to take things as they are for she fancies her harbor town of Nagasaki as Lisbon, Portugal.

Viewing Notes
Scheduled for DKUTV’s Christmas in Japan week. Hadn’t heard of this one until they added it but it does star Miki Nakatani (Ringu, Chaos, etc.). Actually this has a fairly loaded cast including You and Fumiyo Kohinata in fun supporting roles. It’s funny how hard to they try to make Miki Nakatani look unattractive when the movie starts.
Appreciate having this set in Nagasaki instead the usual places in Japan. Wouldn’t classify this as a great holiday rom-com but I’d rather watch this than 99 percent of the dreck pumped out by the Hallmark Channel and its ilk.
