I will not go into what the movie is about other than to say that it's coming of age film about a Japanese exchange student in Taiwan and a musician.
The Blu-ray was single layer BD-25. The 1080p24 video (1.85:1) was encoded in AVC and had very high bitrates of 30-40Mb/s. The audio choices included Mandarin in DD 5.1 or DTS HD MA 5.1. The movie was subtitled in optional traditional or simplified Chinese or English. The quality of the subtitles was very good.
The bad news is that video, despite the high bitrates, was uncoverted DVD resolution at best with poor contrast and muted colors. According to IMDB, this was shot on 35mm film and there is no way the poor resolution is due to the film source. The image looks as if it was taken from a SD master. There was zero extra features.

Some more Taiwanese releases are now available from YesAsia.

Can't help you there, I've never ordered from them.
Thanks but there's two problems; are they trust worthy and I don't see any English tab on their site.
@SpotInHD
Found them here: store.pchome.com
Where to get these Taiwan releases; Miao Miao, My So-called Love & Ocean Flame? I don't see them at yesasia or jsdvd. The funny thing is that they're already out but no where to be found?
