Stefan (or anyone else),
  
  You said Shinji Somai's Wait and See (Aa haru) had been released on DVD  outside Japan? Can you tell me where, and with what sort of subtitles,  and where it can be bought?

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...
