On Feb 11, 2012 will be the theatrical release of a dramatic movie about the Hayabusa mission. It looks like an expensive production: they built a copy of the main JAXA control room for the film.
Here is the web site: http://www.hayabusa2012.jp/index.html You can watch some trailers there. Watch the one marked 'ver 2' in particular. It's all in Japanese, but hopefully there will be an eventual DVD release with subtitles. |

Thank you for that info. That has been my impression after the last couple of weeks searching (that discs were assumed to be Japanese ST only unless otherwise stated). I can understand that for the vast majority of 'home market' movies. However, while rightly a source of tremendous national pride within Japan, Hayabusa's story was also a source of great honor for Japan across the world. As such, it seems to me to be an amazing oversight on Toei's behalf not to take the trivial (compared with the remainder of the expense in the production of the film and discs) expense of translating this celebratory film and providing subtitles in the worlds lingua franca. I would think that purely from a marketing perspective providing English subtitles, even though counter to the norm, would be a given. Oh well.
I am thankful for the film released earlier this year (http://www.cdjapan.co.jp/detailview.html?KEY=FXXA-54530) with English subtitles. -- Pertinax PS - Anyone have any spare Babel Fish? PPS - Would a Babel Fish work with a TV? |
