Sushi - what am I doing wrong?

[gemfyre]

I have always had a problem with cooking rice for sushi, whether it be regular white rice or nishiki rice (or one time I used aborio rice).

I cook it up precisely according to the directions in the rice cooker book and it always ends up dry and slightly crunchy. How on earth do I get it soft and moist?

Are you covering the pan?
If not, then all the moisture will be escaping due to evaporation.
If so, I've no fucking idea.
