Film, Art, and Music
65 years since the end of World War II, a time to reflect on peace and love
On Sunday nights, your own time, flowing gently with quality music, is a moment of bliss for adults. Delivering such a rich time is DJToshio Matsuura's radio program, "TOKYO MOON"—. Each week, he broadcasts carefully selected wonderful music from around the world and adult topics that stimulate intellectual curiosity on Inter FM 76.1MHz every Sunday from 7 PM. Here, Toshio Matsuura himself will present the program as it airs each week. So, what has he picked out this time?

A Collection of Alternative Tracks for Adults to Brighten Your Holiday
Since it's the middle of a long holiday, I've gathered songs that will make everyone excited, whether you're spending time at home or driving out. Of course, it's the TOKYO MOON way. Not just lively, but I've aimed for a selection that provides inspiration for adults to enjoy their holidays. Personally, I feel I chose them with quite a bit of excitement (laughs).

Films and Exhibitions to Watch During Golden Week
I couldn't introduce these on the program, so as promised, I'll share topics that caught my interest here. All of them are things I'd genuinely like to experience. Let's enjoy Golden Week!
REVIEW | PICK UP TOPICS
MOVIE | "An Education"
The press touts it as a work by Nick Hornby, who also penned "High Fidelity" and "About a Boy," but for me, it's the Nick Hornby of "Fever Pitch."
MOVIE | "Moon"
Duncan Jones's debut feature film, David Bowie's son, hasn't garnered as much buzz as I expected. I'm excited to see what "tricks" it holds.
MOVIE | "You Will Meet a Tall Dark Stranger"
Regardless, I must see his work.
MOVIE | "NINE"
I was too busy to see this film. Although its theatrical run is quite limited, I believe it's a film that deserves to be seen on the big screen, so I hope to catch it during Golden Week.
ART | "REFLECTION"
Contemporary Art Gallery, Art Tower Mito
Why not take a little trip for an artistic holiday? The exhibitions here are always intriguing.
ART | "Cuban Graphicism"
Tracing 50 Years of the Havana Declaration Through Prints and Posters
Tama Art University Museum
Half a century after the Cuban Revolution, you're sure to find fresh wonder in the works from the 1960s and 70s.
