Shinzo Maeda - Yoshino's Magical Splendor Part 2 (1990 Analog HDTV 1080i Sony HDVS Video Music BGV)

This is part 2 of "Yoshino's Magical Splendor" (00QW-9008) from a Sony-made high-definition 12" HDVS videodisc. The HDVS disc format was designed to be a highly portable 12" laserdisc-derived media format for Sony's "High-Definition Video System" or "Hi-Vision" back in the early 1990's! Back then, high definition was a little different from how it is now. It was analog (not digital) & close to but slightly different in resolution to the 1080i picture we receive over the air today as it was technically 1125i/1035i. Before the earliest high-definition media was available to the public (via satellite, MUSE Laserdisc, & W-VHS tapes), Sony and other companies began shooting footage, doing research, and, showing public displays of high-definition television. There were three main ways of storing HDTV (or HDVS) at that time: Reel-to-reel tape (HDV-1000), cartridge tape (HDV-10 "UniHi"), & 12" Laserdisc-style discs (HDL-5800 / HDL-2000). This footage came from one of the Laserdisc-style discs. These HDVS discs could only hold a maximum of 15 minutes of video (on CLV discs, even less on CAV discs)...but it held uncompressed, raw high-definition component video! Take that, Blu-Ray! "Yoshino's Magical Splendor" is a scenery video recorded using early analog HDTV hardware. Shot in and around Mount Yoshino is Nara, Japan, the recording is a sort of video photography, using long constant shots of the incredibly beautiful scenery to evoke emotions and feelings. From the mountains to the flowers to the old temples & homes hidden between the trees, there is no doubt that this recording will absolutely whisk you away to comforting & peaceful hills of Mount Yoshino. This is aided by the luscious soundtrack by Norihiro Tsuru, who is mostly known for his soundtracks to animes such as Mermaid's Forest, Momotaro Denchiku & The Heroic Legend of Arslan, and his work with Kitaro & the New-Age group Acoustic Cafe. The tracks appear to be from his 1989 CD titled, "月を作った男〜A Man Who Made the Moon〜" This is a sort of sequel to Shinzo Maeda's earlier work, "Hills of The Seasons," which was not only a beautiful recording in itself, but it was a hugely successful promotional and sales vehicle for early HDTV hardware. While "Yoshino's Magical Splendor" did not have the same level of success or influence that it's older brother had, it is a more mature effort that builds upon its stylistic choices to make a video that is full of much more interesting life & textures. Enjoy this very special video that was never available to the public in the original HD presentation until now! Fun fact: Look at the sides of the image. Do you see that they don't fill your TV/monitor? Since this was recorded on the original 1984 pure-analog HDVS system, it also was recorded in the original, more-square 5:3 aspect ratio that NHK & Sony chose for the original HDTV system. By 1988, the HDTV standard was standardized to the 16:9 aspect ratio that began to be used on all HDTV systems forward and that we continue to use to this day; however, the hardware took a couple more years to be updated to 16:9. Surprisingly, YouTube supports videos uploaded in 5:3 aspect ratio so dust off & plug in your favorite 16:10 monitor to see less black bars than on a 16:9 monitor! ________________________________________________ Chapters (by song): 00:00 - Winter's tale 05:42 - Wuthering Heights 09:10 - Close Your Eyes If you'd like to see the original paper insert that came with this disc, I've scanned it for viewing here: https://archive.org/details/hdvs-disc... ________________________________________________ If you'd like to see the original paper insert that came with this disc, I've scanned it for viewing here: https://archive.org/details/hdvs-disc...
