Thank you very much for the information. I'll try to get them, looking
forward to see Ichikawa's movie.

RD> There are at least four films based on works by Murakami Haruki:

RD> KAZE NO UTA O KIKE (Hear the Wind Sing), directed by Omori Kazuki in 1981,

RD> PANYA NO SHOGEKI (Attack on the Bakery) and

RD> 100% NO ONNA NO KO (A Girl, She is 100 Percent), two short films by Yamanaka
RD> Naoto made in 1982 and 1983 respectively (the latter based on the short
RD> story SHIGATSU NO ARU HARETA ASA NI HYAKUPASENTO NO ONNA NO KO NI DEAU KOTO
RD> NI TSUITE), and

RD> TONY TAKITANI, the new film by Ichikawa Jun which will be released later
RD> this year.  

RD> The two short films by Yamanaka have been released in Japan on DVD with two
RD> nice booklets (and English subtitles) by Cinemanbrain in 2001 and they are
RD> certainly worth watching.
