UPC: 4988111152954 / image source Anyone remember this? I still have the VHS somewhere it has that iconic artwork. a 1080p version of this which seems fully subtitled has appeared on YouTube here and a bit of a search altered me to the 4K Blu-ray. Anyone bought it? I know the older Blu-ray...

The first anime adaptation of the bestselling science fiction novel Japan Sinks by Sakyo Komats. I watched this last year & I have to say I wasn't disappointed it throws one gut punch after another, all the way till the end. Enjoy

I'm looking at a Denon DP-47F in Japan. I understand I'll need to step down the voltage, but apart from that, should it work OK in UK? Thanks in advance

Anyone know what components need to be swapped in a Japan Yamaha R-N602 Receiver to make it compatible with the U.S. F.M. band? Some units allow you to reprogram them, this one does not. The Tuner Module in the Japan and US models are the same so that's not it. Thanks for you advice.

I've read older posts here and elsewhere about higher end PJs (Japanese brands, of course) costing a lot less in Japan... does anyone have any recent experience snagging a bargain in Japan? Particularly on something like a Sony or JVC true UHD 4K projector? Thanks in advance.

We took a family trip to Japan over the Easter holidays. It's a place we've wanted to visit for years, big fans of the food and interested in the culture. To say it met our expectations sounds like faint praise - it was fun, confusing, cool, confusing, crazy, confusing, delightful and a...

I'm already posting in this thread Japan Travel Thread over in Travelling & Holidays but thought I'd get some thoughts from the Photographers specifically. We're going for 14 days at the end of the month Osaka (2 nights) > Kyoto (3 nights) > Hiroshima (3 nights) > Tokyo (6 nights) :clap: We've...

Just heard about this on WoW forum boards of all places, it was a kind of joke at the servers going down but I thought they were just pulling our legs. NK is really pushing how far they can go before something snaps it looks like, anybody else heard about this yet ? I couldn't even imagine...

Hi everyone, I am moving to Japan end of this month and I have shipped a Hisense 65M5500. It has just occurred to me that I might have issues just plugging this in and using it. I will be based in Tokyo where the voltage I believe is 100watts and 50hz. From looking at the specs online, i don't...

Hello all, has anyone had any success (I haven't tried yet I'm just wondering if its possible and if anyone has done it) to create a japanese PSN account from a UK / US console? I know its possible to have a US PSN account and log on but I would literally kill to play dynasty warriors 3 again...

This is a colossal 5h 17m long and has been widely acclaimed after predominantly being screened at various festivals during late 2015 and 2016. Thanks to @raigraphixs for bringing this to my attention. I'm hoping for a general release in 2017, but it may be pretty demanding to sit through this...
