It's Golden Week in Japan! Golden Week is a collection of unrelated holidays that all fall around the same time. Depending on the year, they can result in either a couple of long weekends or an entire week off. The name comes from a promotion carried out by the cinemas on one of the years that they had a whole week off. The promotion is long gone but the name lives on.
Mayumi & I love movies. We always try to watch a couple of
movies together during Golden Week. Yesterday, we watched The
Boat that Rocked (パイレー
ツ・ロック), the "true" story of pirate
radio in the UK. The DVD was lent to us by one of our
students (Hi, Noriko!). It's a fun movie filled with goofy
characters played by great actors. And the music is excellent! If
you're looking for a movie to watch this Golden Week, we strongly
recommend this one!
Most of the things that happen in the movie are loosley based on the
history of Radio
