はちこ - Hachiko: A Dog's Story


was in my shower last night when i suddenly remembered one particular movie article that i read few weeks ago and i keep trying to recall the name of the movie and finally i got it! Yeah...... Hachiko. This is the sypnosis i got from the web.

"This heartwarm
ing true story is an American adaptation of a Japanese tale about a loyal dog named Hachiko. This very special friend would accompany his master to the train station every day and return each afternoon to greet him after work. Sadly his master departs one day, passes away and never returns to the station. Hachiko faithfully returns to the same spot at the station the very next day, and every day for the next nine years to wait for his beloved master. During his daily visits, Hachiko touches the lives of many who work near and commute through the town square. He teaches the local people love, compassion and above all unyielding loyalty. Today, a bronze statue of Hachiko sits in his waiting spot outside the Shibuya station in Japan as a permanent reminder of his devotion and love."

mmmmm......a must watch movie again for dog lovers and RG fans. :) but dunno when it's showing. it's only going to be premiering this August in Japan. dunno when it's the actual release date yet. i have searched high and low in both GSC and TGV and it's not even in the coming soon slot....not in international screen too. :(
anyway, will look out for it.
