Pizzicatomania in Ikebukuro
Today was a great day for Pizzicato Five fans!
A boxed set of 6 DVDs (plus alpha), titled "The Band of 20th Century", has been released.
The set contains 5 DVDs that are re-releases of older VHS releases (except for Readymade TV vol.3 which was already available on DVD), plus one which is a 16:9 release of the 2001 "last live" that aired on TV channel BS Fuji, and an extra DVD containing TV commercials and appearences (including a hilarious one mimicking Kraftwerk!), the complete "Sunny Side of the Street video ep" and other rare footage!
When buying the set at HMV or Tower Records, you get yet one more DVD which seems to contain shaky unedited off-stage amateur footage of a tour in the U.S. We didn't watch this one completely yet though so I can't tell if there's any live parts or other surprises.
The release happening during Peter's visit, Jean invited us two over to celebrate the release over tasty sukiyaki!
It was great fun to open our boxed sets just like if it was Christmas, while sharing anecdotes and memories of our band of the 20th century!
Update March 31 23:04
Peter has posted more about our evening yesterday and also a picture of us two opening our presents. :)

Yeah I bet you are! There's a bunch of content from the U.S. tours which I'm sure you've all seen. Probably a lot of good memories! :)

Oh, I'm so gonna buy this when I go to japan in a few days... just got hold of a live recording of P5 which made me realize how much I really love them. No band could ever surpass them.

Actually I'm afraid that the box is now nowhere to be found. :( It was available in low quantities upon release, and now most big stores (HMV, Tower Records, etc.) seem to have removed it from their Web sites.
You may have to buy the DVDs individually, since these are still being sold.
