Here's the Netflix description:

When a Japanese city is decimated, the army is called in to figure out what happened. Suddenly, a dome rises from the earth containing creatures called Mysterians. The alien group from the planet Mysteroid seeks only peace, a small plot of land and permission to procreate with Earth women in order to keep their race from becoming extinct. Offended by this suggestion, the humans decide to go to war with the Mysterians. Ishiro Honda directs.

I have this movie on my queue- Are you familiar with it?

Always Sunset on Third Street
Based on Ryohei Saigan's popular manga, this slice-of-life ensemble tale from filmmaker Takashi Yamazaki centers on the interconnecting lives of the working-class residents that make up the community of a small Tokyo town in 1950s Japan. Headlining the cast is Shinichi Tsutsumi as scrappy auto shop owner Norifumi Suzuki, Maki Horikita as fresh-faced Suzuki auto apprentice Matsuko and Hidetaka Yoshioka as struggling writer Ryunosuke Chagawa.
