Japanese DVD release
Finally for anyone who's been desperately awaiting a DVD release of this landmark Miike film, "46 Oku Nen no Koi" is now scheduled to go on sale as Region 2/NTSC DVD (neowing) on February 23rd 2007.
On CDJapan you can now pre-order either the deluxe edition http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=DB-43, or settle for the standard version http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=DB-44 .
Note: as of now, there appear no English subtitles to be included, but that of course is still open to change. So make sure you check this first.
Enjoy!
