Evengyny Thanks for the memories!

Raetsonwe Redundant and unnecessary.

Bea Swanson This film is so real. It treats its characters with so much care and sensitivity.

Neive Bellamy Excellent and certainly provocative... If nothing else, the film is a real conversation starter.

poorwhitetrash95 I was at a friends house and we were flipping channels at like 2 in the morning. We either got to watch this or Girls Gone Wild previews and that wasn't good. I loved this movie I was a little confused at times but the movie was incredible. It's been a few years since I have seen the movie and I could never find it on the Internet and was surprised when I tried it one night with different spelling.I would like to know where I could get it or where I could at least see it again!!! If you ever have the chance to go and see this movie anywhere go it will hopefully be as a good experience for you as it was for me. this is the worst site EVER I've been trying to get a comment on here for like an hour all I want people to know is that its a good movie and you people make it be stupid to where you cant even get a comment on here so I'm done!!!!!!

takatomon i feel so lucky to have caught this film on a 3 short subject film festival on PBS. it totally caught me by surprise. it's a very effective escape into Japanese culture that has an almost documentary feel.it's a slightly surrealistic look at a group of commuters who are always at the same station every day and how they relate to each other. it's told from the perspective of a young female who likes to observe the people around her and imagine what they're like in real life.the film is very low key, even slow paced, but it just has a way of keeping one riveted to the screen that's hard to describe. maybe it was that it was "authentic japan" as opposed to the "hollywood japan" in films like black rain.black rain never showed the hysterical, but REAL, "beware of perverts" signs posted in subway cars. LOLthe thing that really makes the film awesome though, is the ending. i was at the edge of my seat talking to my TV! it's that good! once it was over, i had to say WOW! i'd love to own this on video. man do i wish that i had taped it.independent films don't get any better than this.

abuglio I too was changing channels when I found this on PBS...I heard Japanese language, so I stopped. I've lived in Japan so I was interested at first to see how Japan and Japanese were portrayed. I was impressed with what I felt to be an authentic portrayal of bustling Tokyo commuter life, of a younger generation of Japanese and how they are caught up in traditional social behaviour patterns and how one day that's all turned on its head. A great story of one person breaking out of her shell and helping a couple of others to do so as well. Thankfully, Doki Doki was void of all the Western clichés about Japan and instead showed Japan and Japanese as it is. A country and people in search of the same things as most people...human contact.

echang1988 I managed to find this short film while flipping through the channels and stopped at KCET.... at first I wasn't sure what to expect but I found myself involved within the plot...I do admit that often i groan at conversations in student films and I usually avoid them but perhaps since it was in Japanese, I continued watching. And well, it surprised me....despite a few odd questions I had and petty details, I was impressed enough to jump on the internet to find out more about this guy.If you managed to find it on TV or at a festival, it's worth your time.....and hey, it'll be better than watching COPS or Elimin-date.
