I can't find any reliable sources that discuss this movie, apart from a few databases and blogs and forum posts that just about supports the fact that it exists, but do not support it passing general notability. I've found no mention of it in any of my specialist sources (books, journals) on Shakespeare or on Shakespeare in film and popular culture. There are no sources cited in the only other Wikipedia article on it (on itwiki), and, tellingly, jpwiki has no article on it. Xover (talk) 13:06, 18 June 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Comment If any of the links on this search are about the 2007 film, then it might be notable. Eastmain (talk • contribs) 21:26, 1 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@Eastmain: Thanks for looking into this! Unfortunately, the search seems to mostly find general hits for Romeo and Juliet, including a lot for Romeo + Juliet (which was quite popular in Japan). Unless someone who speaks (or at least reads) Japanese can do a more nuanced search, and preferably of the large mainstream publications that publish movie reviews (the equivalents of The New York Times and such), I don't hold out much hope of finding something useful here. Incidentally, the amount of attention to almost every detail in the field of Shakespeare—I can think of at least three books dedicated to Shakespeare on screen, and two more on international (non-English) Shakespeare, on major university presses, just off the top of my head—means that even a relatively obscure Japanese made-for-TV adaptation should have received coverage in English-language sources if it was at all notable. --Xover (talk) 05:11, 2 July 2018 (UTC)[reply]
