<BODY><P>Hi KineJapan listservers,</P>
<P>I have three inquiries since everyone was so helpful about my last one - representations of blackness in japanese cinema. </P>
<P>1. Does anyone happen to have a copy of an English subtitled KIKU TO ISAMU. Or perhaps a transcript of the film? I have a DVD of the film on termporary Interlibrary loan but alas, no subtitles. With my beginners Japanese I'm catching every 5th word and none of the grammar :/</P>
<P>2. Has anyone been able to find a VHS or DVD copy of Kurahara's BLACK SUN? </P>
<P>3. Does anyone personally know Professor Mika Ko at the University of Sheffield in England? I desperately need to get in contact with her and I e-mailed her seven days ago and she is yet to repsond.</P>
<P>In other news, I finally saw STRAY CAT ROCK: SEX HUNTER at one of the KineJapan-ers suggestion and enjoyed the heck out of it! I wonder why more people don't talk about the racial politics of this film...</P>
<P>Best,</P>
