However, it’s difficult to recruit band members in this tiny seaside town. Aga, now a reluctant postman, meets Tomoko and, during the process of forming a band and through the magic of seven undeliverable love letters, they become a pair of quarrelsome lovers. At last, they put together a local rock band and give a marvelous performance. The film has won 15 awards to date, including 6 at the 2008 Golden Horse Awards. Q& A with Prof. RICHARD M.
