Okay, here are two more episodes of the Fuji-TV anthology series, “The Strangest Story I Have Ever Heard,” which were shown with English subtitles on the Nippon Golden Network in Hawaii. Thanks again to dougo13 for providing these rare episodes from his mountain of cool old videotapes!
Get the episodes from Nyaa.si, Anidex, or Mega.
That story where the kid can stop time by sneezing (!) features a couple of US music cues. “Camilla, the Old, Old Story” by Art of Noise is playing near the end, and the time-stopper theme contains a sample of “Kiss” by Prince.
Thanks!! I’m really loving the show and its atmosphere so far; can’t wait to watch these!

Thanks for the rare and awesome stuff! The Prisoner episode was great, I was very surprised to see Takenaka Naoto as one of the actors – he’s one of my favourite Japanese directors (and actors) (Sayonara Color, Munou-no Hito)…

I have not been able to find the 1990 and 1991 series episodes on YouTube. There were a lot of them as it was a weekly show then. Now it seems to be a special annual thing…

you can find them all if you just search using Japanese letters.

Moser, do you know if this episode is available on YouTube (or elsewhere, like NicoNico?)

I went looking for that particular episode on Youtube but couldn’t find it. The series has been posted in various languages including Korean but most episodes were from a later period. I did see the segment that comes just before this one so there is hope this one is there too. You’ll have to use the Fuji TV links in Japanese to find it though and Youtube doesn’t give a direct link, just a general Yonimo episode list. Hard to search through all the playlists…
