You're welcome! Certainly, by the references to "Star Blazers" (and a theme song by Steven Tyler), Toho would love for this film to open in the States — unfortunately, an all-Japanese (unknown) cast is a harder sell today than it was 50 years ago... Some major US studios have picked up some good Japanese fantasy films, in recent years, but they seem to bury them and just spit them out on DVD or cable (Universal's treatment of DORORO being a prime example).
