I did a quick check. Looks like the ESP 科学研究所 is still around: www.espnet.co.jp/company/. There are a few videos on YouTube as well, maybe one of them has the content of that tape. I feel myself being pulled down a rabbit hole…

To be fair, that logo looks really cool. I can't read all of the text; it says something at the top about homeostasis?
Part of me really wants to listen to that tape now.

This is awesome. If only there weren't exorbitant tariffs on items from the UK...
No problem. I wish the films from later competitions were available; I really want to see the original “Missing Child Videotape” short and I can’t find a legal place to do it.
They were streaming on JFF theatre, but I think they’ve expired by now. www.jff.jpf.go.jp/watch/jffonl...
Do you mean ones like “Karakasa” and “Best Wishes to All”?
That feels like the plot to a J-Horror film. Woman acquires cool, old jacket. Takes it to the cleaners and then starts wearing it. But little does she know that jacket’s acquired a kami over its long life, a kami which isn’t happy about being disturbed…
Sorry, I had thought that was the update message from 15.1, rather than the one from 14.5. But 14.5 is pretty much the end of that era.
I sort of regret updating to 14.x; I should have stuck on the last version I worked on. Oh, well.
Those particular updates have been a long time coming. Management had been talking for years about how to monetize the apps.
Ironic, since arguably they became more successful when they went free.
Trailer for the #FacesOfDeath remake: www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRYr...
Sadly, I think a remake of "The Killing of America" might be more appropriate.
Every so often, I'll try an Internet search to find out the name of an old TV show or song. Years go by, and the search remains fruitless, but eventually the answer appears.
I've wondered about the theme for the PBS show Innovation for decades. Today I finally got an answer:
Earth Watch A
I have a question for the BlueSky hive mind.
I ask family members to donate to charity in lieu of Christmas presents. This year, I'm looking for ways to help #cats in #Ukraine.
Can anyone recommend some charities or NGOs which are providing food, shelter or medical care for cats in Ukraine?
Good luck to everyone taking the #JLPT today, especially the ones in Posvar Hall. 頑張りましょう.
At last! I’ve been hoping for this since the Kickstarter campaign ended.
An S-900, an Emax HD *and* a Synclavier? Wow, that's some recording budget.
It’s a great compilation but the packaging leaves a bit to be desired. That plastic case gets really brittle over time, as I found out the hard way :-/
I did not expect this to happen. #jhorror film "Nighty night" is being released on Blu-Ray, by New Wave Video.

I feel silly asking, but what's "the usual place"? I checked archive.org and nyaa.si with no luck.
He throws a Halloween mask competently, at least.

Looks more like a calculator than a drum machine.
Wonder if Love Psychedelico is doing the theme song for this version.
Great article.
I wish it were easier to get copies of Monthly Halloween, but they seem rare (at least on Yahoo! Auction) and pricey.
Surprised that of all places, @vinsyn.bsky.social is opening a store in Pittsburgh.
Wonder what I could trade my old Takashi Miike DVDs for…
The event just started! You need to pace yourself. :-)
Are the discs Region B only?
"Smoked ham & mature cheddar." "Mature" seems like a weird euphemism. Like, it's cheddar "of a certain age" or something. Maybe "active senior cheddar." "いい年のチェダーチーズ"
It’s funny how people from the city lump everything north of like Westchester into “Upstate”.
I expected to see Cinema 10 representing, and was not disappointed.
One of my favorite songs also uses a sample from Hell House: youtu.be/MLbg3RkK59U?.... Wish someone would release the movie’s soundtrack legally.
@aaronlanterman.bsky.social Thanks for making the ECE2026 video on Complex Numbers. I've been meaning to watch the whole series, but this one in particular was great since I've been puzzling through phase unwrapping while working on a project.
I saw the photo and thought “That looks just like my local airport. How weird is it that random airports look the same. I mean, why would a Japanese Studies academic I follow on bsky come to Pittsburgh.” Then I read the alt-text…
