Warning to anyone thinking about buying the special version of his new album that includes a DVD with all the Groovisions videos: it’s Region 2, it seems, because it won’t play in my US player

I had skipped the “f,” both in the title and in the post, writing Halby instead.

I never hesitate to correct Jean, though I often do so discreetly. :) However I never noticed that Halfby typo. Was it a capital I instead of the L?

Nah, Patrick corrects me by mail all the time for my typos.

i just figured Patrick was too polite to correct you. I’m not! ;)

Sure is! Double typo from me! And no one even noticed, including Patrick!

And it’s a real shame that the Resfest seems to be dead.

That one in Satsuma is utter brilliance. The attention to detail – including any number of Japanese TV, and probably 2ch, references thrown into the background. ( notice mainly the “sonna no kankei nee” action in the background near the end of the office segment, and infer that, it being 2ch, they probably couldn’t resist a few more memes that I wouldn’t recognise)

Saw the full video of this for the first time at ResFest 10. One of my favourites of the festival.

I learnt recently that this video was a big hit on 2ch, with people doing off-kai to shoot videos similar to this Halfby video.

Here are a few. They’re quite a blast!
