Nippon Cinema reports that Third Window Films will release its first Blu-ray Disc in February 2010 and that the British independent label has chosen Tetsuya Nakashima’s 2004 GothiklolitaBikergirlComedyDramaThingy Kamikaze Girls starring Kyoko Fukada and Anna Tsuchiya as the first high definition title.
Planned release date is February 8, 2010, the Blu-ray Disc will include the original Japanese audio and English subtitles. Features are tba, but I guess TWF has lots of extra material since Kamikaze Girls will be released as a two disc special edition on the same day. According to Kevin, the BD will be Region B locked.

btw, a representative of Third Window Films has left a statement regard a Blu-ray Disc release of Sion Sono’s Love Exposure in the Twitch comment section stating that they acquired the Blu-ray discs rights but are worried if such a release will pay off because of the market situation…
However, Love Exposure will be released on DVD in the UK on January 11, 2010.
