As was previously reported here on ScreenAnarchy, there's a downloadable trailer for Tomoyuki Furumaya's Sayonara, Midori (Sayonara Midori-chan) here on the website of Slow Learner Y.K. (Y.K. Surô Rânâ).

As was previously reported here and there on ScreenAnarchy, there are trailers for Yoshihiro Nakamura's Asoko no seki and @babymail (@beibîmêru) on Bungeisha K.K.'s Yamada World (Yamada Wârudo) website (see the red text in the middle of the home page). Yûsuke Yamada wrote the eponymous novels on which these movies were based. (He also wrote the eponymous short story on which Yôhei Takahashi's 8.1 (a.k.a. "Hatten'ichi") was based.)

BTW, if you haven't already seen them, you may wish to check out the downloadable trailers for Jun Awazu's CG short "Negadon: The Monster from Mars" ("Wakusei daikaijû: Negadon") here and there on the website of MangaZoo (CoMix Wave K.K. / K.K. KoMikkusu Wêbu). There's an English-language synopsis for the movie here on the website of CW Films (also CoMix Wave K.K. / K.K. KoMikkusu Wêbu).
