When I started watching I thought it was awfully fluffy, but as the movie goes on the interviewees went on to discuss their gripes about life in Japan, which I usually find far more telling about the person than the things they like. It was a decent look into the lives and perspectives of a handful of individuals from a relatively privileged approach to Japan. For an alternative look into the lives of foreign immigrants, I really enjoyed the documentary "Overstay," which focused on migrant workers from less developed countries (movie info and video clip)
Could've been better but overall worth a gander. Would like to hear more discussion about what the interviewees were saying and what the veteran expats here think about what drew them (the interviewees) to Japan and their complaints about life here.
