<table cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0" border="0" ><tr><td valign="top" style="font: inherit;">Thanks. I just got the DVD of this film today -- so I haven't even had a chance to preview the film yet. I do note (sadly) from the box that this is yet another unsubbed DVD release.<br><br>--- On <b>Tue, 1/11/11, Don Brown <i><ryuganji@gmail.com></i></b> wrote:<br><blockquote style="border-left: 2px solid rgb(16, 16, 255); margin-left: 5px; padding-left: 5px;"><br>From: Don Brown <ryuganji@gmail.com><br>Subject: Re: Permanent Nobara<br>To: KineJapan@lists.acs.ohio-state.edu<br>Date: Tuesday, January 11, 2011, 1:18 AM<br><br><div id="yiv1463444665">The title doesn't work well as a direct translation - it's actually the name of the hairdressing salon owned by the mother of the protagonist, and the "permanent" refers to a permanent wave, or perm, which is the hairstyle commonly worn by her mother's clients (and her mother). I don't remember if
Nobara is the protagonist's surname, as she and her mother are only referred to by their first names, but if it is I think that would make more sense.<br>

Yoshida's new film Pamanebto nobara is simply being called Permanent Nobara in English. But, it seems to me that "nobara" (野ばら) could mean something like "wild rose". Am I right (might I be right)?<br>
