I agree it would be a better movie spoken in Japanese and with Japanese stars. I have the audio book, from Audible.com, and have listened to it twice. My late wife, of 35 years, was Japanese and I speak good Japanese.

The Chinese actresses in the movie are obviously not Japanese and will distract from the movie. So much so I will wait for the DVD to rent and not pay to see it in the theater.
