   There is a contact page you can use:

   http://www.shochikufilms.com/contact/index.php

   Not has handy as an email address, but the message should still get through.

   This address might work; it seems to be a general purpose contact with their international sales division…

   I found an email for the distribution end of Shochiku after digging around the site with google translator. The response they sent me follows: “Mr,Shaun xxx

   Excuse me ,but there are not English subtitles to DVD(umoregi=bogwood) ofrelease on July 29.

   Thank you for an inguiry.”

   So, there we have it. A definitive answer. Can we hope for another release anytime soon by any other distribution companies? The trailer, at least, looks pretty beautiful.

   shaun - thats why i mention ‘point gun at foot, pull trigger’ : we never imagined that by trying to make some of these slightly more obscure films more upfront that it could potentially be encouraging earlier licensing to the point where we inadvertantly get japanese releases that could easily be predicted to contain subs suddenly appearing without them… i suspect its been licensed by someone in the states.

   I’ve been waiting for this movie. Too bad about it not being subtitled. Does anyone know if it is being released in any other regions where it “might” have English subtitles. I’ll check back here every now and then.
