lol... I'm so imaginative arn't I?
It's more like a 'section' of my website (www.jessemallon.com without the /blog ^^), that is more so to promote my design work. Even though the other 2 sections are a PDF download and an e-mail address. |

Watched this last night. Liked the segues where a pair of hands (not sure if they're Ringo's) open each album and insert the disk in a different Apple computer drive. It was funny when the hands had to struggle a bit with the Zecchoushuu set.
Video quality is okay. I would have preferred if they had remastered some of the widescreen videos like Koko de Kisu Shite to anamorphic display for HDTV's, but whatever. Sound quality is top-notch. Thunderous. I had to lower the volume several times to keep the neighbors from throwing rocks. The Mellow video has a great visual concept that mixes a bit of the Shuraba video (instead of red liquid flowing out of stuff, it's foam) with Le Salle le Bain (she embraces a foam figure that dissipates instead of a weird CGI sprout-man). Her appearance in this is shocking.....she has transformed herself physically as well as musically. The overall impression is that Ringo is, or was, obsessed with her own shifting identities as a performer, and at the end of Mellow she presents herself as "naturally" as I think I've ever seen her. I don't like her lip job because I think it's a mark of vanity and insecurity, but it doesn't diminish her talent one iota. |

i agree with NIMH about the sound quality which is absolutlely fantastic.. but the video quality leaves a lot to be desired and for such a landmark release should not have been neglected!! Kono Yo No Kagiri's video is plain awful overly fuzzy to the point of unwatchable i found and the rest were a little sup par on the visual side.. i really think this should have been remastered and released on Blu-Ray.

I finally got this today and just watched it right now! I also liked the little clips between each PV. <33 I think they looked like Ringo's hands, but I'm not completely sure. And her sound effects were so cute! (She was saying "paka" instead of "baka," right? o_o)
It was fun watching all the old PVs again especially on the TV and I appreciated the "Koko de Kiss Shite." song again from this. After watching all of these PVs in a row, I think my favorite is "Yattsuke Shigoto." I saw a small screenshot of the "Mellow" PV before and was surprised to see the pale colors, but now I can see how it fits the song. It would have been cool if she resang the song, though. This song is a live recording, right? I agree that this natural looking side of Ringo really is beautiful... *_* I'm so happy to see her a new video. <3333 Ahh, I dunno where to put my sticker. >_< Should I put it on my macbook??

The audio is in 24bit 96Khz LPCM format, which takes up a huge chunk of disc space so I guess they had to reduce the video bitrate to fit everything.

We have these bandwidth limits because when a new format is being standardized, a consortium of companies decides exactly how much data the laser has to read in order to achieve 1x playback. They need to have a standard, otherwise studios can keep pushing new movies with higher bitrates, for which you'll need to continually purchase faster Blu-Ray players to keep up. The players that could actually handle every new and old movie - would never go down in price. When companies stick to an old "1x" standard, you end up with a player that never gets outdated until the entire format is outdated, and the manufacturing process gets optimized over the years so that the same amount of disc-reading and processing are cheaper to produce.
