Hirayama trivs med sitt liv som toalettstädare i Tokyo. Hans vardag är oerhört strukturerad, men han förgyller den genom sitt passionerade musik- och litteraturintresse. Varje kväll läser han ett kapitel ur en William Faulkner-novell. Han älskar träd och fotograferar dem. När en rad oväntade händelser skakar om hans välordnade liv, så avslöjas hans förflutna, bit för bit. En av årets mest berörande feel-good-filmer och ett skimrande porträtt av staden Tokyo. <br/><br/>Japans Oscarbidrag är en djupt mänsklig reflektion över att finna skönhet i vardagen.

CHROME DREAMS, one of Neil Young's most individual and powerful albums, was scheduled to be released in 1977, but as is often the case with Young, things change. And then change again. What starts as one thing can often end up as another. For all those who have followed the singer-songwriter's ever-evolving career, it's best to let those changes happen.<br/><br/>With CHROME DREAMS, it has been a long time coming to this final version of an album that includes some of rock's most unforgettable songs. And now that it's being released on August 11 via Reprise Records as Young envisioned it. Now is the time for CHROME DREAMS to find its way into the world. As Neil Young hears and sees it.<br/><br/>The music included on CHROME DREAMS is the debut release of the legendary 1977 "Lost" album of 12 classic Neil Young songs, including four originals. The 1974-1976 studio recordings include two previously unreleased versions;<br/><br/>Four tracks never before released on vinyl and manufactured as a 3-sided double album with an etching on side 4.<br/><br/>The 12 songs on CHROME DREAMS may have existed in other forms at other times, and that is part of the creative process. Many of these are the originals. The summer 2023 release as it is coming to life now is exactly how Young perceived it and has a sense of monumentality about it that conveys a place in history. Songs like "Pocahontas," "Like a Hurricane," "Powderfinger," "Homegrown," "Stringman," and "Look Out for My Love" join six other tracks to finally present CHROME DREAMS as a guide into the world of a musician who leads the way into the future, never second-guessing what could have been. <br/><br/>Some of the historical lineage of the songs on CHROME DREAMS today include:<br/>"Powderfinger" is the early/first solo version, the original.<br/>"Pocahontas" is the same version that first appeared on RUST NEVER SLEEPS, but without the overdubs.<br/>"Sedan Delivery" and "Hold Back the Tears" are originals with lyrics that were not included in later released versions. Both are very different versions than previously released.<br/>"Stringman," is another original performance, included on the ODEON/BUDOKAN disc in ARCHIVES VOL. II; prior to that the song had only appeared on Young's UNPLUGGED album in a later version, not the original.

1986 kidnappades en högt uppsatt sydkoreansk diplomat av en militant grupp i Beirut. Två år senare kontaktar kidnapparna det sydkoreanska utrikesdepartementet och kräver en lösensumma på fem miljoner dollar. Året är 1988 och inför de kommande olympiska spelen i Seoul vill Sydkorea gärna ha sin diplomat tillbaka. UD accepterar villkoren, men en fråga uppstår: hur levererar man fem miljoner dollar kontant till en milisgrupp mitt i medborgarkrigets kaos? Lee Min-jun, en ung och ambitiös diplomat, tar på sig uppdraget. Men rykten sprider sig snabbt i Beirut och snart vet alla - från arméchefer till lokala krigsherrar - att en korean är på väg till stan med en stor väska full med pengar. Och alla vill få tag på väskan, även de som tycks vara hans vänner. Filmen är baserad på verkliga händelser.

The newest album from Rhiannon Giddens', You're the One is her third solo studio album and her first of all original songs. This collection of 12 songs written over the course of Giddens' career bursts with life-affirming energy, drawing from the folk music that she knows so deeply, as well as its pop descendants. Produced by Jack Splash (Solange, Alicia Keys, Valerie June), You're the One features some of Giddens' closest musical collaborators from the past decade, including multi-instrumentalists Francesco Turrisi and Dirk Powell, bassist Jason Sypher, and Congolese guitarist Niwel Tsumbu. The album features electric and upright bass, conga, Cajun and Piano accordions, guitars, a Western string section, and Miami horns, among other instruments, capturing the inclusive spirit that channels through all of her work. <br/><br/>"I hope that people just hear American music," Giddens says. "Blues, jazz, Cajun, country, gospel, and rock-it's all there. I like to be where it meets organically. They're fun songs, and I wanted them to have as much of a chance as they could to reach people who might dig them but don't know anything about what I do. If they're introduced to me through this record, they might go listen to other music I've made with a different set of ears."
