Japanese language and life in film & TV News online

...buying E. Asia films (English subtitles): www.yesasia.com
... another is www.ebay.com
a DVD from Japan may have Region 2 coding, while those from Hong Kong, South Korea and Taiwan may have Region 3
cf. Region 1 (N. America), no region coding (Region 0)
VLC works around region codes, www.videolan.org/vlc/

films with lots of interpersonal engagements and dialogue:
<> Hesokuri shacho (1956-), www.imdb.com/title/tt0298363/
comedy series about a company president.
<> Tsuri baka nisshi (1988-), www.imdb.com/title/tt0203174/
comedy series about a salaryman who loves to go fishing.
<> "The Milkwoman" was also pretty good. Sort of a love story set in a suburban city between a woman who delivers milk and works at a supermarket, and a man who works in the city hall.
