General Yuzuru Chat

Hi satellites!

 

Does anyone know if there's a link or resource that lists all the official Yuzu merch currently available,  like the Prologue DVD, the photobooks, etc? Or is it all over the place?

 

And did I miss the window for ordering the DVDs?

 

(Been a bit busy. My mom had an aneurysm right after Easter. She's recovered now and back to work, but it's been a wild ride and some balls got dropped.)

Sorry to hear about your mother. Relieved to hear that she has recovered.

 

A!Smart has a Yuzu bookshop with many book and magazine titles available, it is also possible to reserve the GIFT disc set on pre order

Prologue disc available from the usual suppliers - cd japan, rakuten, amazon jp

Hope that helps

Hey Yuzu, if my 80-year-old mother can recover completely from a sub-arachnoid hemorrhage (of the sort that kills 9 out of 10 people who have one) and be back at her full time job (yes she still works at the post office) less than 3 months from the day of the aneurysm, with no apparent lasting ill effects, you bet humans can do more than you thought! You can definitely do whatever the heck you think you're able to try. The human body is an infinite wonder and mostly adapts to what we ask of it.

@rockstaruzu Your mother is very strong for her age of 80 to have, in this way, overcome such an attack and, above all, still working : she has a lot of courage   with your help of being at her side which contributes a lot to an excellent recovery.

 @Perelandra : I had access through a link given here by (I don't remember who  ) from CD.JAPAN and made one  seeing the list of many books dedicated to Yuzu and, especially, to the 2 DVD PROLOGUE and GIFT : but I hesitate to order the DVDs which are produced in Japan and wonder if they will be read on a DVD player in the European zone where we are both ...... : do you know if this is possible? and  in advance.

Hi 

 

Some of the Ultra High Definition blu ray discs are region free but only the Ultra HiDef, NOT High Definition only and you are also correct DVD's need to be region 2, for Europe, so that's confusing and it is not always clear from the outer packaging. Fortunately Japan is also region 2 for DVD but unfortunately is region A for BluRay. Europe os region B for BluRay

 

It is possible to purchase region free disc players, they are not so expensive nowadays, so you could buy one or ask for one on your birthday or Christmas wish list. 

There is a caveat to region free disc players or region which is compatible with Japanese region discs - some region free models, but not all, will set to the region of the discs played for the first few plays. So, one may need to purchase a disc player and just keep it for Yuzu discs!!!

 

I have a Sony disc player for DVDs and BluRays and it plays 'Time of Awakening' and 'Time of Evolution' BluRay discs, which date from 8 and 4 years ago respectively, these were for the Japanese market and are not Ultra High Def, they are High Definition BluRay. So it seems to be OK for playing region A BluRays.

 

Hope that is somewhat helpful. 

This is my very basic understanding of the discs and players compatibility. 

Maybe someone else can provide more accurate information.

There is one caveat regarding region-free or Japanese region-compatible disc players: some, but not all, region-free models will adjust to the region of the discs being played on the first few plays. So you may need to purchase a disc player and reserve it for Yuzu discs only!!!

 

I have a Sony disc player for DVDs and Blu-Rays and it plays the "Time of Awakening" and "Time of Evolution" Blu-Rays, which are 8 and 4 years old respectively, these were for the Japanese market and are not Ultra High Definition, they are High Definition Blu-Rays. So it seems to be suitable for playing Region A Blu-Rays.

 

I hope this will be useful to you. 

Here is my basic understanding of disc and drive compatibility. 

Perhaps someone else can provide more specific information. 

 

 

 

ALIGATO and  @Perelandra for having answered me pleasantly, I appreciate this help  , because not being very comfortable I would have asked in PM to someone else, who, alas is no longer of this world   , I only have DVDs at home, so I went to inquire with my computer seller (who is, in addition, a computer engineer) I told him about my case and he certified me (you too  ) that Japan has zone 2 for its DVDs, I could buy it (as well as GIFT later) because I can read it in the DVD player included in the computer  ......: so purchase on this JAPAN CD 

 

I also hope that Canadian/American/Mexican etc. fans will also be able to read these Yuzu DVDs since he has fans all over the world. 

 

Also: did you buy a Yuzu DVD? (if it's indiscreet, you can write it, of course) 

 

Best regards to you in England PS: except  I am 2 days away from the opening of the Paris Olympics.

Bought the GIFT BluRay on pre order. 

All my Yuzu discs are BluRays

I saw that. Seriously the most ridiculous write-up of any athlete ever. It's as if the writer did it on purpose to ragebait fanyus and drive engagement with their post
