Living on Tokyo Time is a 1987 film starring Minako Ohashi and Ken Nakagawa and directed by Steven Okazaki.
It is a romantic comedy revolving around Japanese American rock musician Ken and his marriage of convenience to Kyoko, a young immigré from Japan who speaks limited English.

Trivia: A quick glance of the old 'Beatles' house on Precita Ave. is in the film. The 'Beatles' house used to have a huge Beatles mural painted on its facade (which was painted over sometime in the 1990s).
