A brilliant new documentary is making its debut at the Japan Film Festival in LA on April 14th. Entitled Tokyo Cowboys, it tells the story of several Westerners and their attempts to live and work in Japan. From English teachers to wannabe rock stars, this diverse bunch of Gaijin will likely have a lot to say about the dream that many of us Japanophiles entertain on a daily basis, but may be reluctant to act upon. Check out more info, including another short clip, on their official site and blog.
