chance to sub five films

[Stefan Nutz]

By the way, Somai's Sailor Suit and Machine Gun (Sailor fuku to kikanju) 
will be released by IVL on R3 DVD this november.
If i am not wrong it is the second release of a Somai film outside of Japan 
on DVD, besides Wait and See (Ah haru). Hopefully there is going to be 
more...
