お帰り、マクドナルド

As I'm going through my old keepsakes while preparing to move to California, I found an old info sheet on Welcome Back, Mr. McDonald (ラジオの時間 or Radio Time in Japanese), a Japanese comedy movieshown at the Carnegie around 2000/2001. I still remember this movie, which was pretty great, and I also remember mentioning it to people the following summer in Okinawa, although I didn't realize that it had won several Japanese Academy Awards. Looking at this sheet now, I see that the film series was organized with the assistance of Keiko McDonald, who I didn't actually know, but who I heard headed the Japanese Studies department at the University of Pittsburgh, and who I believe recently passed away recently.
