How to say "I have to" in Japanese (sort of, see description)?
How would I say "I have to wait" as in "I want to watch the show, but I have to wait for the blu-ray to come out/be released". I know the first half and I know how to say I "have to" do something as in I have to eat, sleep, etc, but that makes it seem to urgent as in "I HAVE/NEED TO to wait". How would I just simply say "I have to wait for X"? Unless it s the same thing, of course. Thanks

matanakute wa...[i have to wait]
'bangumi o mitai ga, soitsu no brurei ga ureteru koto o matanakute ne."
tabenakute wa naranai [i have to eat]
neranakute wa naranai [i have to sleep]
These are not urgent, but simple conditions. Literally :if I don't wait... Urgent would be "tabenakute wa shinu darou" or something.
