From Nagoya to Nashville... one more time
Made in Japan is the remarkable story of Tomi Fujiyama, the first female Japanese country music star.

Forty years later, Tomi and her husband set out on a journey through Japan and across the United States to fulfill a dream of performing at The Opry one more time.
