The City of Lost Souls???? (Takashi Miike)
Please tell me there is another version of this. It is actually a nice DVD from Mei Ah, with DTS that sounds great. But like Trigger pointed out with another Mei Ah release Crash Landing, it's a flipper. 
I really wasn't that impressed with Fudoh, but this movie ROCKS!!! There has to be a better release.. Anyone?
Thanks in advance

Ok, just answered my own question. City of Lost Souls is the International title. Hazard City is the Japanese title. There is a superiour R2 version, but no DTS.
Next qusetion, is there anywhere else to get it cheaper than CDJapan ($38.18)???

This damn Malata is costing so much more than the $300 I paid for it.
My wallet is lonely...

I haven't broken down and got a malata yet. I'm using a region free Aiwa. (so no PAL for me yet)

Visitor Q
No, the Japanese disc doesn't feature subtitles. You'd have to go for the German Pal disc, from Rapid Eye Movies if memory serves me correct. Beware the PAL bootleg that adrenafilm was flogging some time ago.

Yeah I bought the bootleg when it first came out, but plan to upgrade to the German release soon.

{sigh} PAL? Okay... no Visitor Q then for now...
(Q adds another point in favor of the Malata)
Cheers,
