Were you able to find it? I'm emailing the distributor in charge of Aiko in a

   But I am desperately looking for the AIKO version of Sailor Moon. I can't seem   
   to be able to find it anywhere anymore. I particularly want to watch Sailor   
   Moon S. Do you know    
   where I'll be able to purchase it?
