Okay. TLA, Tartan, Artsmagic, Panik House, Media Blasters, the entire lot of you Asian focused DVD labels, answer me this: Why on earth have none of you seen fit to release Karaoke Terror (The Complete Japanese Showa Songbook) on these shores yet? I mean, come on ... it's got Ryuhei Matsuda as the head of a gang of karaoke singing thugs dressing in sexually ambiguous costumes and engaging in a battle to the death with a group of middle aged women all named Midori. Come on ... it's got a middle aged woman jousting from the back of a scooter with a lance made of a broom and a kitchen knife! It's from the pen of Ryu Murakami - he of Audition, Coin Locker Babies and Tokyo Decadence fame - and is hugely, immensely quotable. This thing would sell itself if you gave it half a chance, so get to it.

To taunt, mostly. And because I really want this on DVD.

Maybe if I just take deep breaths and count to 10. And then count to 10 again. And keep repeating the process for a long time.

I couldn't have said it better! ;)

"Why do you tell me about these things that I may never see?" - datura.

because were not just telling you, were also (potentially, at least) telling people who could ensure you will get to see it at some point.
