Interesting. Recently there was a Pashtoon Kid that went all the way from Peshawar to across the Wagga border. He went because he wanted to go see his hero Shahrukh Khan in Bollywood. He was caught & returned back to Pakistan where he appeared on TV.
I don't know if modern day Japan is like that but it was interesting for me to see the movie where the matter of marriage was handled like the India - I grew up in & I know India is no longer like that.
