LOL I just found out that there was a Japanese animated series called "Torappu ikka monogatari". Guess what it is? THE SOUND OF MUSIC!!!!!!! OK maybe not the sound of music, but it is the story of the Trapp family singers (whose biography I saw last night was VERY interesting!) and from the few english reviews I have read, it is strikingly authentic. If I can find it anywhere I'd rent it or get it and see it.
