Yonekura Ryoko

Well I'd love to say I had Okusama wa Majo ready for people to download (which incidently was ready since early yesterday afternoon) but my website is currently offline due to DOS attacks on the server I'm hosted on. :puppydog: The Data Centre should have it back up and running later today. Meh Just what I needed. Cheer me up bmwracer and post some more Ryoko pics while I impatiently wait for my site to be restored.

It was a good series. Ask Gaijin Mark.

Don't buy it: I recorded it from a broadcast several months ago and it has English subtitles... The only caveat is I bungled several of the recordings and I haven't figured out a way to fill in those holes.

Lemme know if you interested. :)

You mean parts of the story are missing?

Heading out to Mitsuwa tomorrow... I'll check it out.

cool....good luck, hope you find some ryoko goodies. :applaud:

In a way, yes.

I has some problems with the transfer of the digitally recorded programs onto my hard disk and didn't realize it until it was too late and I had erased the orignal recording. :banghead:

I'm currently trying to gain access to those episodes I botched from another source, so I can continue with the project.

Apparently and surprisingly, no one else recorded the program.... Other than maybe those few who are trying to profit from it on eBay. :shakehead:

Changed my mind: I'll drop by next week... I've been there the last three weeks and haven't found poop.

It's be a whole lot easier just to buy these puppies online. ;)

That's too bad. Harriet and I are going to split the cost and get it from YesAsia. I'll make you a really good copy then and you can send me something else if you want.

Japan Post plans photo stamps to promote mail

[image]

Japan Post said Monday it will start selling customized photo stamps Sept. 1 to try to promote postal mail amid a steady rise in e-mail traffic.
Actress Ryoko Yonekura and Japan Post President Masaharu Ikuta pose during a Monday news conference in Tokyo to promote customized photo stamps.
Post offices across Japan will accept a 4-cm-square printed photo for use on the stamps. One sheet of 10 stamps priced at 80 yen each will cost 1,200 yen.
In a promotion at a Tokyo hotel, actress Ryoko Yonekura asked people to write more letters, saying, "Handwritten letters look more personal."
Japan Post expects the sales of customized photo stamps to reach 1.5 million sheets, or 1.8 billion yen worth, this fiscal year.
Japan Post issued a stamp featuring an original photo attached below an ordinary stamp in April 2003. It decided to start printing personal photos as stamps after several customers requested it.

Wah! I just noticed that Ryoko isn't currently in the top 50 Artistes! :puppydog: So wisely used my first vote for her... Shame it didn't help push her back into the listings though :shamefulcry: People vote for her or me and bmwracer may be forced to :beatyou:!

English subs and it's on 4 dvds so the quality about which I'm very finicky would have to be fairly good.

Anyway, enjoy and please let me know what you think (good or bad).
