Trailers for Iwao Takahashi's CREAM LEMON: AMI'S DIARY, Shun Nakahara's DV: DOMESTIC VIOLENCE, Tôru
Iwao Takahashi's Cream Lemon: Ami's Diary (Kurîmu remon: Ami no nikki) is scheduled to be released on sale DVD in Japan on September 22nd. I doubt that the DVD will have English subtitles; however, this news provides a good excuse to post not only about that movie, but also about a number of other FullMedia K.K. (K.K. FuruMedia) productions that have been released in Japan in the past year or so. Please note that viewer discretion is advised with regard to most of the movie websites and trailers linked to below.
