Question ID: 174991
I have found websites advertising films made in Japan, which have
already been in theaters and are now available in VHS and DVD.
Unfortunately, I don't read Kanjii, so I'm unable to order them
online. Is there an English-language site offering domestic Japanese
films?

Are you looking for a site such as HK Flix?
http://www.hkflix.com/home.asp

They carry many imported DVDs from Asia.

Do the sites also have to sell VHS?

I would just like to comment that some of the suppliers mentioned
(particularly in the VCD section) have a lot of unauthorised (bootleg)
product in their catalogues. Caveat emptor.
