Title of film

edit

There was an edit claiming the title of the film is "A Ghost of a Chance". The IMDB supports this, but the website at http://www.sutekina-eiga.com/ has "Once in a blue moon". Perhaps this was a subtitle used in Japan only? Anyway please discuss here, with citations or references if possible, and if necessary I'll move the page. Thanks.

"Once in a blue moon" appears under the Japanese title on the Japanese poster/cover, and is splashed on the screen at the beginning of the movie, but I think people just assumed that that would be the English title for those reasons. That title seems to be merely a subtitle of the Japanese title. Aside from the IMDB page, I've been on several airline flights that listed the movie as "A Ghost of a Chance," and there are numerous pages on the net that refer to it by that title. This Japan Times page states, '"Suteki na Kanashibari" (also titled "Once In a Blue Moon" in Japan but "A Ghost of a Chance" internationally)' http://www.japantimes.co.jp/text/ff20111104a2.html The Japanese Film Festival in Sydney referred to it by that title as well: http://15th.japanesefilmfestival.net/film-aghostofachance.html.

OK, thanks. I guess you can do the edits and move yourself now you are logged in? I think it should be saying something about the title in Japan as well. JoshuSasori (talk) 12:27, 20 August 2012 (UTC)Reply
