Ichikawa Ebizo XI (Ichikawa Shinnosuke VII)

Is there a good pic of Ichikawa Shinnosuke in his rocking role as Musashi (besides my VCR ahem)...?

That show really blew doors, and I'd like to make him my avatar, although Shinichi-san <- as Matahachi was the itazura idol... ;)

Those bums at NHK shut down the Musashi site, so no pics from the show are available... There are some on my blog, but they're crappy vidcaps from tape... The NHK bookstore has a couple of pics, I think: http://www.nhk-book.co.jp/taiga/2003.html

Hey bmw. Didn't you have some good screen caps of Musashi?

The ones on my blog are only so-so.... I'll be able to make better ones once I get my Musashi discs... :D

Cool! How much is those discs gonna cost you anyway? Must be expensive 'cause of the length of the drama and the price range of Japanese dramas.... :beaten:

The price is still TBD, but it won't be an arm and a leg, which is what the originals from NHK would cost.... :D

Speaking of Musashi, I wish I had a full-size poster of this: :D

*needs to get it asap* it'll get a nice place next to the Shogun DVD edition, which should come out in July

Thanks guys. That poster really takes me back... :applaud:

It was a pretty terrific series... I can't believe my level of dedication to the series: from Episode 3 on, I was planning my Saturdays around that show... For 47 weeks!! I'm still exhausted... :hehe:

That's cool! Some dramas, I had picked up from CDJapan and they were pretty nuts! No subs and region 2 encoded. For a whoopping $240.00USD (12 series drama). Where do you get these kind of hook ups?

I little luck and knowing the right people. It's all about connections. :)

Heh, with that kind of price (I'm thinking of), it should be well worth it to have such connections. :)

it's Don BMWRacer of the Jdorama Mafia...

Whoa! Thanks for showing us that poster, BMWRacer! Man, I wish I had it too . . . the gang's all there!

Ahhh . . . memories of our postings at another message board, eh, KIKUboys!?

I had lots of pics of him as Musashi, but I lost them all when my PC broke up last month. :(
But I have some from Musashi's official book. For those who want them, send me an e-mail ([email protected]) and I'll send these pics.
I love him, he's so talented !!! :applaud:

Betsy, you should scan 'em and post 'em here to share with everybody... :applaud: :D

I've seen the two NHK Musashi books available from Amazon Japan, but the shipping costs more than the two books... Outrageous! :(

I would like to do it, but I don't know how...
I bought this book in a book shop here in Sào Paulo witch sells only japanese books and mags. [/img]

All you need to do is scan the pics, resize them to something reasonable (unlike some people around here :rolleyes: :hehe: ), then upload them to someone who will host your images. After that, to post the image, just add the entire URL path (http://blah blah blah) between the two image codes, [image]... And voila! :D
