Mad Capsule Markets - Osc-Dis Video
Released in DVD by Palm Pictures/Manga Video (30 October, 2001)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
Starring: Mad Capsule Markets
Average review score:

A cool music video collection but short runtime
This is the music video collection featuring The Mad Capsule Markets from their album [OSC-DIS].

1. Tribe - A music video combining Electribe sounds with punk/hip hop-metal-techno. Very cool!

2. [Pulse] - Featuring the guys in a computerized futuristic "Star Wars"-likesetting. TMCM as the White Crushers taking on the Black Cyborns.

3. All the Time on Sunny Beach - What better than TMCM in the summer!

4. Good Girl (Dedicated to Bride 20 years after) - An awesome song featuring many beautiful Japanese women.

5. Midi Surf - A song featuring a group of skaters who go skating after their TV starts acting up (probably by the Black Cyborn) to the tune of "Midi Surf".

6. BONUS TRACK - "Systematic" is an older video of the group jamming inside (what looks like) their home recording studio.

If you enjoyed the OSC-DIS album, you're going to enjoy this DVD. The only negative that this DVD has is its short runtime (around 30 minutes) and there is no interviews with the group, behind-the-scenes footage or anything else but the videos.

The DVD quality is good and the music sounds great. As for special features, there are several photos of the three group members and the rest are Palm/Manga Entertainment trailers.

If you can get enough of the music from one of the most unique bands to come from Japan, check out this DVD because it rocks!


Growing Up Well - Piggy Banks to Money Markets: A Kid's Video Guide to Dollars and Sense
Released in DVD by Inspired Corporation (11 April, 2002)
MPAA Rating: NR (Not Rated)
In this upbeat primer on money, insightful vignettes involving four kids offer thought-provoking lessons in earning, investing, and spending. Dian starts a weekend business playing piano at childrens' parties; Adam holds a garage sale so he can invest in baseball cards; little Elizabeth helps her mom with gardening; and TJ recruits a buddy to run his lemonade stand. While the premises sound simple enough, each child encounters an imaginative hitch along the way, inviting plenty of discussion and words of wisdom. Other helpful bits include a glance at how and where U.S. bills and coins are made, materials other cultures use for money, and an unbiased discussion of how kids use their money (consequences included). Banking, checking, credit card explanations--illustrated via cartoon computer graphics--might whiz right by the 5- to 8-year-olds, and some of the song-and-dance routines might lose the 9- to 12-year-olds, but the payoff in knowledge gained will easily outweigh any temporary losses of attention. The tape runs about 27 minutes. --Liane Thomas
