  "Here's the very TV drama-y first teaser for Hidekazu Matsudas Koshonin - The Negotiator: The Movie, a theatrically-released continuation of TV Asahis highly-rated Koshonin - The Negotiator series which will be entering its second season on October 22nd.
  
  As Tokyograph reported back in July, the film will take place at 10,000 meters above the ground, as some unfortunate hijackers decide to take over a plane on which police negotiator and all-around badass Reiko Usagi (Ryoko Yonekura) happens to be a passenger.
  
  Koshonin will be released by Toei in February 2010."
  
  I enjoyed watching the first TV series (okay, I admit, I am a fan of Ryoko Yonekura).  Hopefully the second one will be even better and the movie will top that too.  Unfortunately, I'll have to wait for either the Hong Kong or Malaysian DVD release, because I don't understand that much Japanese (language) and Japanese DVDs rarely come with English subtitles.  (of course the reverse can be said of American DVDs - they rarely come with Chinese or Japanese or Korean subtitles too).
