WASAO!

Over the course of running this humble website of ours, we reckon the Japanese assumed the world needs more dog-related movies. So here it is, the 1556th movie that features a cute dog with a furry tail.

Anyway, WASAO is a three year-old male dog with a unique face, covered in a thick layer of white fur, giving him the look of a lion. On weekends and public holidays, close to 2,000 tourists travel there just to take a look at WASAO, and caused traffic congestions. People wrote about his distinct presence and charms in their blogs, resulting in WASAO being an idol in Japan as well as  starting a new craze. He  has been featured in over 30 magazines and appeared in over 50 television programs in Japan. 

WASAO makes a screen debut as himself in this film that tells a sentimental yet heart-warming story of a ‘busakawa-ken’ (ugly but cute dog) and his past that has never been told. WASAO is scheduled to be release later this month. We will post it here once we receive more details
