Re Hibari film title

[j.izbicki@att.net]

Joanne, et al.,

I have never seen an English translation of "Aosora tenshi" and have never 
seen the film either!  I'd be grateful to find out who is selling it in vhs or 
dvd (Shochiku presumedly released it but are they selling it or is another 
distributor?).
The question of the title raises a good question:  When working on a film 
which has not yet been given an English translation for the title, how have 
scholars on this list been proceeding?  Just translate the title in a way you 
choose (literally, figuratively) to be appropriate?  Since once a title is 
translated the translation tends to take on a life of its own (e.g., Kamei's 
film 'Senso to heiwa,' which usually is referred to as "War and Peace" but 
which Kyoko Hirano insists should be "Between War and Peace").  I think this 
might have been discussed some time ago on this list but I would appreciate a 
reprise.
