New DvD's

I received two new DvD's in the mail yesterday from Mark for my birthday. The first DvD is the Happiness of the Katakuris (Katakuri-ke no kôfuku) and the second one is a "Double Feature" DvD containing The Blind Swordsman: Zatoichi and Sonatine (Beat Takeshi). Im looking forward to watching them and giving a report to Goronya-go but lately I have been really busy with work and school so they will rest on top of my DvD player for now.


When I was in Osaka, Japan the DvD release of Zatoichi was huge and I saw them for sale quite often in the store front. In the picture above you can get a glimpse of it on display (bottom right) along with a kid playing Mario on the Gamcube. Overall though I think the DvD's in Japan are way to expensive to buy, but I did see a lot of interesting ones.
