LIVING ON TOKYO TIME counts the beats in the life of Ken (Ken Nakagawa), a shy, would-be rock-and-roller unwilling to engage in the world around him, and Kyoko (Minako Ohashi), a beautiful 19-year-old Japanese girl, on her first visit to America.
Kyoko has overstayed the limit on her green card, but is determined to prove to her family back home that she can do what she set out to do – namely, forget a broken engagement and survive on her own abroad. Through the coaxing of a mutual friend, Ken decides to marry Kyoko so that she can stay in the U.S. What he doesn't anticipate, however, is falling in love.
