Movies seen at major theaters in Japan have been exclusively Japanese or Hollywood films. Recently, more and more films from countries other than the U.S., such as South Korea and India, are being screened due to their high reputation. The Corona epidemic has halted film production around the world, and movie theaters have been quiet for some time, but finally films from abroad are coming into the country again! Here are 11 films currently showing in movie theaters.

There are two American films, one Korean, one Indian, one Japanese, and five animated films. After all, animated films seem to be popular in Japan. Tell us what movies are playing in theaters in your country this month!

Avatar: The Way of Water

It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a movie that required 3D glasses. Unfortunately, it costs to see a 3D movie. A total of $17.7 will be charged, including the basic fee of $14.7 and the 3D viewing fee of $3, including the cost of glasses. If you choose to see it in IMAX, a theater dedicated to giant screens, it costs $21.5. It’s too expensive!

An anime for girls about the growth of an idol. In children’s movies, dance scenes are important because everyone can enjoy them. However, there were many difficulties in drawing animated characters dancing to authentic choreography, such as the limitation of the frame rates and the complexity. Since around 2008, CG has been used for the characters’ dance scenes, and now the characters perform amazingly delicate movements using motion capture. Japanese 3DCG developed from these children’s animations.
