My favorite hang out Little Tokyo is celebrating the Cherry Blossom Festival. This means booths, shows, and discounts. It's always great to walk around Little Tokyo during Festival days the place is just more alive and they'll be plent to see and do.
April 10th and 11th check out the Cherry Blossom Festival
It's taking place all over LittleTokyo, but the booths and stages will be located behind the Japanese American National Museum.
They have cosplay and J-Pop scheduled as old-school cultural events to learn about Japanese life.
Japanese Film Festival Begins
Yes, the site that was poorly constructed a few weeks ago finally seems to been massively updated Japanese Film Festival LA
The festival starts this Friday with a 30 buck buffet dinner opening ceremony. The real fun strts Saturday when the movies will be shown. It seems most tickets are arounf 10 bucks which isn't that bad. The festival lasts almost the whole month of April and will be shown all over. This first weekend it's at the New Beverly Cinema. If you stop by the Cherry Blossom Festival you can buy tickets at the Kinokuniya Bookstore for the films.
I recommend Yatterman showing for Saturday night only and only once.
Don't bother with Ramen Girl there's a reason Brittany Murphy's dead this is one of them.
I also recommend seeing Happy Ending
Here's there sites snyopsis:
A young girl obsessed with horror movies and a strong dislike for romantic comedies, sees her life turn into a movie cliche of its own when the shopkeeper of a deserted rental video store begins to have mixed feelings for her. Lacking experience in love and romance, she turns to the one place where she has learned everything up till now…the cinema.

Monsterpalooza
Monsterpalooza runs rampant in Burbank. The annual horror and special effects show features a behind the scenes look at all the sci-fi, fanatsy, and horror movies coming out. You can meet some actors from your favorite thriller or find out what the current special effects artist is making guts out of. Forget digital give me corn syrup and red food coloring for blood.
