TOKYO -- Shochiku will bow Shochiku Online, a streaming service for  
its pics, on May 21.
Users will be able to view one pic for seven days for ¥367 ($3.54) or  
take out a monthly subscription for $10.14.
The site will be operated by Shochiku subsid Eisei Gekijo (Satellite  
Theater), with an initial target of 100,000 subscribers.
Shochiku will launch the service with 100 pics, including classics  
from auteurs Yasujiro Ozu and Keisuke Kinoshita and its 48-episode  
"Tora-san" series, about a wandering peddler who is forever falling in  
love.
It will add 10-20 titles monthly and will be streaming 200 titles by  
the end of its first year.
Shochiku has been webcasting its contents on its Cinelier site in  
cooperation with Showtime and other partners since 2006.
