You're right, OP corrected

Saw a Delfonics Concert Poster inside the store that I want.  A favorite group of mine especially their hit song "La-La (Means I Love You)".  I got the 45rpm vinyl record somewhere in my collection.

here ebay link you can buy the same one for us$ 30, yeah!

I didn't find the second one. I found a place that looks a bit like it, but not it. Too bad you didn't provide a map with the image where it is needed, instead of the one where it isn't (not the first time you're guilty of doing this ).

1. A famous disc shop in Tokyo, mentioned in the Trivia section of the movie in IMDB.


2. This expressway section is hard, you need to study a bit the road network of this megalopolis.
For this here is some guidance on the road sign

You make it sound like the movie is easy to find. It took me some time to find what it was.

OK so if I have to study what you said, I'll take some more time. I was fearing the roadsigns were the only way to find this...

Not many Oscar nominee films about Tokyo toilets around 😂

Exactly. 😊

I do, and if I had seen a guy with a Coca-Cola logo on his back, I would have never assumed the movie was about someone working at Coca-Cola. Neither would you. I found the movie the hard way, first assuming it was a Japanese movie. Some japanese movies have been Oscar nominees too in recent years you know...

Forget about "studying" the road system (I leave that to the experts here), I am driving down that circular highway until I find it. Brute force! 😊

And here you go.

"Study the road network", lol, even your clues have red herrings.

Now I need to see the film, even if I have mixed feelings about the director...

I would not search for Coca Cola. But I would search for Tokyo toilets. One is too generic, the other is quite special. Just my HO.

Nowadays anything is written on clothes so I didn't give it any thought, especially after I RIS'd the image and it returned nothing.

I didn't use the clue.
