"Location Filming" One of the more entertaining aspects to movies and made-for-TV adventure/love/comedy productions made in Japan is how they spend a lot of time on location filming, so when watching the shows, there's a certain amount of entertainment (beyond the story) just in watching the background.  And living in Tokyo, it's fun to - from time to time - stumble upon a film crew in action.  (Photo taken on January 23rd, 2006 in Shinjuku - notice the snow from the Saturday before.)                                                                                        Copyright 2006, by Lyle (Hiroshi) Saxon, Images Through Glass, Tokyo
