Tokyo Pop

Also known as Tokyopop, 東京ポップ

“An American success story that's far from ordinary. And far from home.”

A young rock singer is not appreciated by her band, and gets a postcard from Japan saying "wish you were here". She takes what little money she has including ex-boyfriend's rent money and goes to Tokyo. She has numerous cross-cultural adventures and ends up singing with a Japanese rock group looking for a gaijin gimmick.
