Bleach-blonde wannabe rocker Wendy (Carrie Hamilton) is disillusioned with her life in New York City. After receiving a postcard from Japan saying "wish you were here," she spontaneously hops on a pIane to Tokyo with dreams of making it big as a singer. Quickly finding herself broke and a fish out of water, she moves into a youth hosteI for gaijin (foreigners) and takes up work as a hostess at a karaoke bar. Just when she’s at her breaking point, she meets Hiro (Diamond Yukai), a rock ‘n’ roIler whose band is Iooking for their big break. They form a romantic and musicaI connection and Hiro convinces Wendy to become their lead singer. Through a combination of hustIe and luck, they stumbIe into their 15 minutes of fame, but Wendy soon comes to reaIize that being a gaijin rocker may be nothing more than a passing fad. An underseen gem of ‘80s American independent cinema by Fran Rubel Kuzui (Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Angel), Tokyo Pop takes us on a breezy tour through bubbIe era Tokyo, replete with knowing nods to the city’s vibrant pop culture. New 4K Restoration by lndieColIect. Created in association with the Academy FiIm Archive with funding from DoIIy Parton, CaroI Burnett, the HFPA Trust, and donors to IndieCoIIect’s Jane Fonda Fund for Women Directors.
