Japanese cinema in Kansai

[J.sharp]

You should definitely try and pay a visit to Tomioka and Yasui's Planet
Studyo + 1 cinema, especially now its moved to newer and bigger premises,
even boasting its own coffeeshop now!
Very friendly people, loyal clientele, and some of the most eclectic
programming ever. Last summer I caught a double bill of old Hollywood
musicals (FLYING DOWN TO RIO and YANKEE DOODLE DANDEE) followed by a day of
really weird Philipino stuff-  like this 70s musical-comedy that came across
like a cross between Tarantino and Sister Act. Wish I could remember the
title...
