What is this obsession I have with dead formats? I think it has something to do with the fact that since they are no longer producing massive quantities of VHS tapes or records or cassette tapes, I know that whatever is left in the world is pretty much all there will ever be and sooner or later, more will be lost to the ravages of time.
What ever the reason, I have been on a tear buying up all the VHS stuff I wanted superplay wise and converting them to DVD. So far, I have been lucky in getting great copies of great runs and this tape is no exception.
It's a super nice Doujin release by T3 Kamui, who is the current WR holder with Gain, a score just north of this playthrough (J111,620 -> K,720,100).
It's still a great run and has a good intro playing over the arrange OST. It's also the one that was on Superplay.co.uk and the footage is as grainy as that tape shows as well, leading me to believe that the transfer was just rough or the tape itself was a bit worn before they did the transfer. Bought from rancor over at shmups and my new favorite guy in Japan. And the green tea Kit-Kats he sent along with were so good, I ordered a case of them and a few other flavors from Asian Grocer.com

Kamui and KET are two different players. In fact Kamui once came over to KET's place while he was streaming on the weekend, and they both played rounds of Garegga.
Of course KET is also a world record Garegga player, but with Chitta.
Thanks for the clarification - I know of a few Japanese players who have gone under a couple names, it does get confusing at times.
And then there was that weekend when boom and I stopped by KET's place...
Ha - that would be amazing! :)
