    (DVD: CRCP-20386A)
Comments on the DVD by Theo Spadlo: "The opening, Harry 'The Lion' Hosono, is very funny. It's Hosono performing the part of the lion in the opening scene of the MGM movies. The most interesting item on the DVD for me was the MERRY GO ROUND part. It is showing Hosono sitting and walking around on a 1907 German merry-go-round in the Toshimaen Amusement Park in 1976. The old silent film footage is being accompanied by music that was written by Hosono in 2006. The music is a bit reminiscent of his music on the Non-Standard/Monad label. I quite like it. It's a pity the DVD's playing time is only 37 min. and some of the songs on it are not being played in full."

23 June 2000 various artists 3-CD MUJI (MUJIRUSHI RYOUHIN) BGM 1980 - 2000

Compilation of background music ("BGM") for the "MUJI" chain stores. Limited Edition of 30,000. Comments from Theo Spadlo: "TALKING - BGM ver. - is identical to TALKING (from the 1984 cassette). The only difference is that, in the beginning of the song, there's an extra 30 sec. - sort of an introduction - in which the same musical theme is being repeated three times. So, TALKING BGM ver. = 30 sec. "intro" + TALKING."
