I just want to tell that besides movies, and music... I love to read. And my goal on my devotion to Asian Movies, especially Japanese Horror, is to learn more about the movies and their backgrounds in every area.

From those books, I found some interesting historic backgrounds, like the developing of the cinema, the social issues expressed in the movies (Like Ring, One Missed Call and Ju-On) the directors's perspectives, etc!

I just have several books, and I wanna share those pics now. (I have two more, no pics now) and I really love them. One of the books I wanna have but it's so expensive: Nightmare Japan, another interesting book to be read !

Do someone here read those books or have another? I would like to know if there are another books I should buy in a near future, so I wanna read your suggestions !!

Not sure if there are someone who may choose any actress that finds so attractive to be the ghost, the villain in the movies, or well anyone in the movies. In my case, I got charmed by Yukie Nakama of Ring Basudei, Kimika Yoshino of Eko Eko Azarak and others. But Runa Nagai (from TOMIE: Another Face tops the list here!

Do you guys have any favorite? I wanna read.

well... I just had several movies in VHS like Eko Eko Azarak, The Ring saga and others. Today I have tons of movie files (MP4, MKV, AVI) to be played on a media player, sadly discontinued 13 years ago (I meant the beloved Pivos's AIOS media player).

I bought two DVDs 12 years ago or so... and I took too long time to decide if to keep buying or not since I have the media player, but was last year when I definitively started to buy all the movies possible (all the ones I really love of course).

And for now, I have those titles and hope to find more to add in my collection soon !!

Yes !!

First of all, I am a Japanese Horror movies fan too, so don't worry about that topic here, I will show some of my videos here soon...

However, since there are fans who may have their own Japanese movies in DVD/Blu-rays (may be Japanese editions or American ones) I need a help to understand a weird situation: I have a Panasonic BlueRay, region-free with a very cool video accelerator that improves the video resolution to DVDs in the best way possible, and personally, I'm so happy. As an example, I have the EKO EKO AZARAK DVDs, and I like how they looks in that player.

If need more info, I can leave the link here: Panasonic Blu-ray Player

I purchased it past March and until now it's working so great... I've been buying some DVDs and Blu-rays. (the last purchase was TOMIE: Rebirth)

However.. the situation I wanna share: I ordered the Sukeban Deka DVD (the one from the image), first I ordered a sealed one, so good price. As soon as it arrived, I opened and played... everything good... but... it froze at certain scene. Then seconds later, the player turned off. I had to turn it on and play it again... and froze by the second time at the same scene... then the player turned off... So I decided to message the seller, but he did not accept returns... I had to do a bad review and open a dispute, it made him to step back and do a refund. I wanted to wait some days and I ordered the same title again, but at that time I decided for a used one, just because of the simple reason: if used, the seller played it at least once, so knows that can watch the movie. Ok.. after weeks waiting, it arrived and I started to play it and watch all the movie... suddenly got frozen... IN THE SAME SCENE !. I thought I made a confusion and I played the new one, so I had to play the other disc.... again "same scene freeze"

I just find out that the new DVD may be in good condition and I made a bad treat to the first seller.. I fell bad for him.. damn..

Anyway, the point is: why that Panasonic player cannot play that disc? The same title, but one new and the other used and freeze in the EXACT scene. Or is the DVD non-compatible with that player?

I wrote to the distributor and I'm waiting for the reply, but I wanted to know if someone here may have this player and knows that movie and can explain what's going on... PLEASE !!
