I have digital archives of the show and was planning on putting it
onto a tv-viewable dvdr disk for request, but I assume that since you
posted the Realmedia movies that no one would want the whole 2-hour show
enough to actually request the disk.  Saves me some work.  It was a
great show though.

The disk with days 14 and 15 of the most recent basho (complete Nhk
broadcast unedited and in English, 3.5 hours) was finished and is being sent out
to those who requested it. (approx. $7 per disk plus postage) If
there's anyone left who didn't request it, this is the last chance.
Just send me email.

Last time, I said I would make the disk if 5 people said they'd get
it... I got 12 inquiries, 10 people said they'd get it, but only 6
actually did follow through, and only 3 people have actually paid for
it so far.  Given statistics like that, I guess there's still not
really enough interest for it to be worthwhile, though I might still
make some future disks just for my own collection.
