some company in the USA (or elsewhere) needs to pick up all three of these - if not all of toru kamei’s work, it just looks absolutely superb… really fresh and interesting. i stuck ‘double suicide elegy’ on the ‘subtitle this’ list a while back, but i really want someone to notice these one’s as they’re something quite special. come on MB, tartan etc etc!!!
