Yeah, it aired there a while ago. My cute Japanese friend told me that it aired twice, once on satellite tv and another time on a local channel. She tried to dvr it but it didn't work because it had blockers on, so then she just vhs-ed it when it aired locally.
...now the people from NHK who were sitting in the production van during the tapings make SO much more sense. I can't believe I didn't make that connection earlier.
Holy, you came to Japan just to see Company? Did you see it on HD or on a local channel? I didn't come to see Company but I was happened to be in Japan when it aired. I got the DVDs of the both programs but I still cannot see HD version as you have to have a special application to see the DVD that was recorded for a HD show.
Thanks for the laugh, Craww! I'm totally stealing that graphic for my wallpaper!
Now, mother always said that whenever you hear a strange, frightening, and potentially life-threatening ghostly chant coming from the dark woods that there's one thing that you should do: Not wake the others and go investigate it alone...
