A fact from Hula Girls appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 27 August 2007. The text of the entry was as follows:

Did you know... that the 2006 Japanese film Hula Girls is set in the coal mining town of Iwaki in the 1960s when a Hawaiian spa resort was built to resolve the community's faltering fortunes?

WPJ importance scale[edit]

I changed the importance of this article for WPJ from "High" to "Mid." I don't really understand how this movie "had a large impact in Japan, and had some impact outside Japan." I mean, it's just a movie. Though the economic situation described in the movie was similar throughout the world, even that did not have an impact outside of Japan. Rather, it was a result of what was going on outside of Japan. Douggers (talk) 01:38, 30 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Romaji[edit]

We read フラガール ,Hula Gāru

While the correct romaji is Fura Gāru or Fura Ga-ru. Obviously Hula Girls still stands, but Hula Gāru is a very loosely translated romaji. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Bubbathemaster (talk • contribs) 12:20, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Popularity of Spa Resort Hawaiians[edit]

The sentence in the opening para that: "Joban Hawaiian Center (now known as Spa Resort Hawaiians), which was later to become one of Japan's most popular theme parks" is really stretching it - or is at the very least anachronistic. There is no way that Spa Resort Hawaiians has nearly the current popularity of Tokyo Disneyland or Universal Studios Japan. Someone (hopefully not me) needs to do some research and update this, or at least historically contextualize it.
