• Weak keep has references [1], [2], and probably more refs in Japanese but I don't speak or read that so... LADY LOTUS • TALK 11:54, 28 July 2014 (UTC)

• Keep This 2006 Japanese language film even found its way into The New York Times and into Variety. Considering the number of notable Japanese actors involved, I can easily accept that the film had coverage[3][4][5] in a country that honors its media stars. Under WP:NTEMP and WP:CSB, I believe notability is met and that this new article simply needs some work. Might have been far better to tag it for attention by Japanese reading Wikipedians than send it to deletion. Schmidt, ^{Michael Q.} 16:54, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
• Keep per sources found above, –Davey2010 • (talk) 22:54, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
• Keep. Has received media coverage in Japan and abroad, so appears to satisfy the basic notability criteria. --DAJF (talk) 23:13, 30 July 2014 (UTC)
