<DIV style="FONT: 10pt arial"><B>Subject:</B> Reading of names</DIV>
<DIV><BR></DIV><BR>I apologize if this topic has already come up (a thousand
times, maybe), but I was wandering if any of you had a good source for the
reading of kanji names (of the eiga-kai). The best would be the reading in
hiragana.<BR>I find some, the famous guys, on wikipedia, but what about all
the other names? Every time I try to write a good filmography, with cast and
credits, I have the same old problem. Moovie.goo has some reading, but the
"difficult" names are always lacking...<BR>Thank you,<BR><BR>alice
