Documentaries on Japan

Does anyone know any good documentaries on Japan? I saw one on Discovery Channel about Tokyo, and was wondering if there were some slightly more in-depth documentaries (from a western perspective) on Japan and the Japanese lifestyle.

Go on youtube and search for Japanarama. It was a series done by BBC television. I thought it was very good.

Check out a documantary on the increasing cases of depression in Japan. It's called "Does Your Soul Have a Cold". It follows the lives of several Japanese people and films their daily lives. You could google the name and see if it's on DVD.

I hope I was of some help.

Not sure if this one can be called "documentary", but it's one of the best Japan-related videos I've seen.
