													yep, went to your site and saw that long list of dramas ya yearning for. Thing is, i don't really recognise most of them... I'm not really an ardent fan, but rather, I just look out for the ones that are always reccommended on the Web as well as reviews by people. This is because I sooo busy, can't really keep track of all the releases... What I know from most of my other peers is that the VCDs they bought are subtitled in mandarin. Hence, it's not in my knowledge that there are any j-drama vcds out there with english subtitles... Sorry, looks like I won't be of much help to you...
 
I'm chinese, so there isn't a problem for me. However, it is a personal wish to know japanese... so I'm serious planning to take up some course after my A levels, also hoping that my enlistment date won't be that soon~!
