Chris Magee over at JFilm Pow Wow has done his darndest to translate the synopsis over at CinemaTopicsOnline

The kuuki ningyo, or "air doll" of the film's title is owned by a man named Hideo. One day while he's at work the doll comes to life and ventures out into the city. On one of her trips she stumbles across a video store and meets Junichi who works there part-time. Suddenly the doll experiences something she's never felt before... feelings.

As it goes with any site launch for a film there isn't much to look at yet. And as is the course of events we'll squat on the site until a trailer comes out.
