Toronto held their press conference yesterday, announcing their full line-up
I think.  Following is what I've pieced together from their website:

All About Lily Chou-chou (IWAI Shunji)
Blue Spring (TOYODA Toshiaki)
Distance (KORE'EDA Hirokazu)
Electric Dragon 80000 V (ISHII Sogo)
Harmful Insect (SHIOTA Akihiko)
Hush! (HASHIGUCHI Ryosuke)
Ichi the Killer (MIIKE Takashi)
Pulse (KUROSAWA Kiyoshi)
Versus (KITAMURA Ryuhei)
Warm Water Under a Red Bridge (IMAMURA Shohei)
Waterboys (YAGUCHI Shinobu)

Of these, I guess ALL ABOUT LILY CHOU-CHOU, BLUE SPRING and ICHI THE KILLER
are international premieres.  Elsewhere it's been noted that the only
Chinese film premiere is FULLTIME KILLER co-(starring GTO star Sorimachi
Takashi) in Colin's Midnight Madness lineup.

Iwai's LOVE LETTER and APRIL STORY both played Toronto in previous years, as
did Toyoda's UNCHAIN.  Miike, Kore'eda, Kurosawa and Yaguchi are regulars.
