Film synopsis from the Taipei Times:
60 years ago, a Japanese teacher was forced to leave his
Taiwanese lover in the town of Hengchun (恆春)
when the repatriation of Japanese nationals began following the end
of Word War II. Back at home he wrote a letter each day to the lover
he would never see again.
Sixty years on, a young man named Aga (Van Fan) returns home to
Hengchun after his dream of becoming a rock musician in Taipei falls
flat. Reluctantly, Aga takes up a job as a substitute for Uncle Mao
(Lin Tsung-ren) after the old postman breaks his leg.
Equally reluctantly, Tomoko (Tanaka Chie) from Japan is asked to
stay in Hengchun to supervise a warm-up act scraped together at the
last minute for an upcoming concert by Japanese superstar Kousuke
Atari. The newly enlisted band members seem, however, less than
promising: the reckless Aga, hot-tempered Aboriginal policeman Laoma
(Min-Hsiung), auto mechanic Frog (Clipper Xiao Ying) who has a thing
for his big-breasted lady boss, elementary school student Dada (Mai
Tzu), and Uncle Mao, a yueqin (月琴) master.
With the concert just three days away, Uncle Mao is still having a
hard time figuring out how to pluck his bass. Aga has yet to write
something for the band to play. In fact, the band looks on the verge
of breaking up even before its first gig. There is also the parcel of
letters, posted 60 years ago, which Aga is not able to deliver, as
the mailing address no longer exists. Amid all of this, a romance
begins to bud between Aga and Tomoko.

Like this post to see ed2k links [2.03 GiB]There's about a hundred links if you search in English, but this is the only one I could find that seems to state it has English (subtitles?).
DVD rip in two files, probably doesn't have English subs:

I've heard that the English subs are "atrocious", though I haven't actually taken a good look at them.
By the way, I think the music at the end is pretty good.
Tell me what you think!
