Top 10 movies in Japan 2016

Four out of ten were Japanese movies.
I think it is pretty amazing because Hollywood movies are quite popular in Japan.

This year, “Your Name.” made a legend.
Currently “Your Name.” is no. 2 hit at the box office in the history of Japan.
And still making a smash hit all around the world, including China, Taiwan, Thailand and so on…
Japanese Anime tends to be considered to be Otaku (Geek) stuff.
I hope this misconception would be cleared.

Two Disney movies were also ranked in.
It is not surprising at all, since Disney has its royal fan at any time.

Among all, I would like to celebrate “Shin Godzilla”.
Godzilla is so pity.
The first movie “Godzilla” (directed by Roland emmerich) was a complete failure. That was just a T-Rex like unidentified creature smashes the city story.
Next “Godzilla” (2014: directed by Gareth Edwards) was much better, but again Godzilla doesn’t look like Godzilla.
I was wondering why Hollywood people always try to show the unwanted originality.

But this year, finally authentic Godzilla showed up on the silver screen!
The story is good, looks like Godzilla, sounds like Godzilla!
If you don’t watch it yet, you have to!
It’s my top recommendation this year!

In the next article, I will introduce upcoming movie 2017.
