Each episode of 2009 "renewed" airing has been posted in Japanese since April

The Kadokawa Group has begun streaming the eighth episode in this year's "renewed" airing of The Melancholy of Haruhi Suzumiya anime series on the YouTube website earlier this week. This episode, "Sasa no Ha Rhapsody" ("Bamboo Leaf Rhapsody"), was the first episode that did not air during the original 2006 run. Kadokawa has been streaming each episode in Japanese one week after its broadcast since last month.
