NHK OSHIN DVD ENGLISH SUBTITLES

I have the entire collection of NHK's Morning Drama "Oshin" (おしん) in DVD format. Recorded in VHS SP mode in 2000, the set contains 297 episodes, all subtitled in English. The video quality ranges from B- to C-. I've personally converted the episodes from VHS tape to DVD. The video you see above is a sample of episodes 1 through 3 (keep in mind that the sample is 320x240. The actual videos are 720x480.)

An original DVD set of Oshin would cost you about US$1000. But, you can purchase the entire series today on DVD. US$250.00 includes all 297 episodes in DVD format, and stored on 30 DVD+DL discs. $15.00 for shipping within the United States, or US$50.00 for international EMS shipping. These discs can be played on any modern DVD player. For ordering information, send groink an email at this email address.

Sorry, no DVDs of this series available.

  AMERICAN SPORT EVENTS

I've archived my VHS tapes to DVD, complete with TBC correction. Each DVD is USD$5.00, to help pay for the media and equipment used to archive the recordings. I'm also willing to trade for other events, in DVD or VHS format. Unless mentioned otherwise, I've left the commercials on the recordings, so you can get a chance to see all the old national and local (Hawaii) commercials from the past. Only PayPal payments are acceptable. Send me a message with your state and zip code, and I'll reply with a price quotation.
