Genji sub?
Hm, so I'd like to run something by everyone to judge the response. I'm almost done with my current project ("Eire"), so I've started thinking about what I want to do next. ('Next' being probably not until January, but I like to plan ahead. *laughs*)
What I was thinking of was "The New Tale of Genji" (1981). I've been wanting to do a full 70s or 80s show for a while, and I've been wanting to do a Nihonmono. Plus, being Genji it's a rather famous Japanese tale, which seems appropriate.
Also, the top star, Haruna Yuri, was one of the first stars to become a top star, in the mid-70s. First she was a star in Flower Troupe (and played the first Oscar), then she was top star of Moon Troupe from '76 - '82, before moving to Senka for six more years (sound familiar?). Also starring Daichi Mao, who is famous in her own right. And featuring many folks who moved on to Senka and might be familiar to you: Natori Rei, Misa Noeru, Kyou Misa, Suzuka Teru(ko), Hoshihara Misao, Kou Akemi, Kuni Natsuki....
I guess what I want to know is, it's rather old, so is there any interest? I don't want to do it if absolutely no one wants to watch it. ;)
(And, er, it's also dependent on the script being available in the show's program, which I haven't had a chance to check yet. I don't *think* there would have been any copyright issues, but you never know.)
Thanks!
