I now have a recommendation for Out of This World. The cast includes: Hagiwara Masato, Matsuoka Shunsuke, Murakami Jun, Odagiri Jō, Peter Mullan, and Shea Whigham. Set between the surrender of Japan and the outbreak of the Korean War this tale of Jazz and social conditions is one I greatly enjoyed and hope others will too.
