Thanks to Twitch's own logboy for bringing to my attention the fact that Unicorn Entertainment International Limited is scheduled to release Taisen Kamakura's Zero Woman 2005 (Shin Zero Ûman: 0-ka no onna: futatabi...) on DVD (NTSC, region-free, English subtitles) in Hong Kong tomorrow (May 25th).
The screenplay for Zero Woman 2005 was written by Satoshi Abe and Tarô Hirai, based on the manga series O-ka no onna (note that it's "O", not "0", even though it's meant to be read as "zero") by Tôru Shinohara. As was reported here on Twitch back on July 4th of last year, the movie stars Maiko Tôno, Megumi Yamanaka, Tarô Suwa, Hiroshi Nishikawa, Kyôji Kamui, Kenjirô Ishimaru, and Kazuyoshi Ozawa.
